Voters should accept the goodies of President John Mahama and the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) if they bring them any, but must vote against them in the December 7 polls, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, vice-presidential candidate of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said.
He told voters in Bunkpurugu in the Northern Region that Mr Mahama and the NDC are using goodies to hoodwink Ghanaians into voting for them because they have failed the country.
“Because the NDC has not done any work, you see that they don’t have a message so when I leave here, when we all leave here in a few days’ time, you will see that the NDC will come, they will come with propaganda; but most importantly they will come with goodies.
“…My advice to you is that, when they come, collect the motorbikes, sewing machines; and collect the monies and spend it very well because this is your own money, this is money they should have used to develop you, so collect it, it’s your money.
“It’s coming, you wait, you will see them coming with it in trucks, when they come collect it, it is the money that they should have used for the schools, roads, hospitals, the money that they should have used to subsidize fertilizer, they have not done that, they have chopped this money and they have now come to bribe us with this money to be able to vote for them. Chop it well and vote for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,” he said.
The flag bearer of the NPP, Nana Akufo Addo, has also warned Ghanaians to be wary of the NDC’s gifts. “…As election draws closer, expect more goodies from this government; we are going to see this and that. They are going to spend a lot of money on freebies in a way to convince you to vote for them.”
