Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia has jabbed the main opposition National Democratic Congress, NDC, accusing them of being “good at propaganda.”
He avers that it is only hard facts and data that can counter their efforts, adding that these figures are available thanks to the governing New Patriotic Party’s record in development which is way ahead of the NDC.
“Our record will always be superior to the record of the NDC. The NDC is very good at propaganda. They are specialized in that, but the only way to counter the propaganda is with facts and data. They are very afraid of facts and data.”
Bawumia was speaking on Sunday, October 31, 2021, at the end of a three-day orientation programme held for newly-appointed Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives, MMDCEs, in Accra.
He added that with the development efforts that the government was undertaking nationwide, it was the responsibility of MMDCEs to disseminate information to the local levels where they are the political heads.
By so doing, they will scuttle the robust propaganda machinery of the NDC and also put the NPP in good stead to win the 2024 General Elections.
“This coming election in 2024 is going to be fought at the local level, it is not going to be fought in Accra, so you know the projects, the NDC cannot sit in Accra and lie about projects when you in your regions and districts can tell the people what we have done.
“When you do that, they can go and check and the NDC cannot come back with propaganda. We have to be proactive and tell the people,” Bawumia added.
This is not the first time the Veep is taking potshots at the NDC, he serially accused the party of incompetence prior to becoming Vice-President and has also been highly critical of then-President John Dramani Mahama.

@Fii, …. and you think that majority of the people of Ghana want President Mahama to come back. Unfortunately your presidential candidate is busy criticising the 2020 election that he lost with unsubstantiated claims. What is his message? Ghanaians are very discerning. The cost of living has always been going up. The electorates will compare President Mahama and Bawumia and make a decisively choice. The npp said in 2020 that between Akuffu Addo and Mahama ,Who will the people of Ghana trust to handle the affairs of our dear nation? A similar question will asked in 2024 and I think Bawumia will be a stronger candidate than Akuffu Addo.
The NDC shouldn’t bother themselves responding to this fuull. All they should do is to compile his speeches prior to 2016 and 2020 elections and play it daily to Ghanaians. Teachers are suffering etc, they would build harbor in cape coast etc which was refuted by his president. Toilet construction that never came. 1D1F, 1m per constituency etc.
Mr. Aspiring President to be, what's the need for data when citizens find it to make ends meet? Prices of Goods and services are skyrocketing. A bag of cement is around fifty Ghana Cedis. The stress is too much for the "ordinary" Ghanaian, why?

Every political party does some bitchy propaganda sometimes, but in the case of the NDC, it appears it is their bread and butter.
