There is no sector the NDC did better than us – Dr. Bawumia
The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has reiterated the superior record of the NPP over the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in several sectors.
Speaking to community leaders and thousands of supporters in Tema during his continuous campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region, Dr. Bawumia said incontrovertible data available shows that the NPP has performed better than the NDC in every sector in terms of development. “If you look at performance, sector by sector, we have performed better. Whether it is agriculture, we have done better. Whether it is industry, we have done better,” Dr. Bawumia said.
He continued: “Whether it is jobs, we have created 2.1 million jobs. It is still not enough, but that is more than any government in the 4th Republic. Whether it is roads, we have done better. Whether it is railways, we have done better; hospitals, we have done better; interchanges, we have done better; classrooms and schools, we have done better; sports facilities, we have done better.”
The NPP flagbearer continued, adding that in the areas of sanitation facilities, court buildings, provision of facilities and equipment for the security services, fiber optic cable, and sports facilities, the NPP has clearly “done better.”
Dr. Bawumia stressed that the data available to buttress his claim is incontrovertible and challenged the NDC to respond to his claim if they have contrary data. “There is not a single area that you can point to, that you will say this government has not performed better than the previous one. And I challenge them because I am a man of data. I speak only with data,” he said.
“When I say we have done better, I have the data to support it. And this is why the former President doesn’t want to debate me because he knows he doesn’t have the data.”
“He can make statements on political platforms where nobody will challenge him, but he cannot make them in front of me. He cannot.”
