The Vice President, Mahamudu Bawumia has said whiles addressing the governing New Patriotic Party’s supporters at a National Youth Rally in the Northern Regional capital, Tamale last weekend that voting to bring Mahama back to power means no jobs for the teeming Ghanaian youth.

According to him, if the people make mistake in giving power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) they would collapse everything.

“...if you give the economy to him, very soon, you cannot get teacher trainee allowance, nurses trainee allowance, pay your child’s school fees, get a job to do, agriculture will be declining, electricity prices will be going up,” he said.

He added that it was sad how the former president mismanaged the economy so much that Ghana had to fall on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for bailout and credibility.

“The presidency is not for nice men or women. It is for doers. People who can make things happen.

“The government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been in office for just about three years and even though there is still a lot to do, any objective assessment of our performance over the last three years will agree that we have performed much better than the situation we inherited at the beginning of 2017,” he said.
