Bawumia has competitive advantage to help NPP break the 8 – Farouk Mahama

The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Yendi Constituency, Farouk Aliu Mahama, says Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has the competitive advantage that can enable the New Patriotic Party (NPP) break the eight in the 2024 polls.

Speaking in an interview on the Point Blank segment on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Friday, he indicated that “Bawumia is somebody who is very competent, someone who has gone through the country, who understands every problem in the country, understands the constituents, understands wherever we are coming from. And he is somebody who has that competitive advantage to rally all of us to lead us break the eight. And that is how come I have chosen Dr Bawumia.”

“I am not looking at his religion or where he comes from. It also matters because it wipes off that perception that former President John Mahama keeps saying that Northerners are people that have been sidelined,” he stated.
