The New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate has denied rumors that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will have an effect on his government, promising to lead Ghana independently and innovatively if won in the general elections of 2024.
Dr. Bawumia reassured participants at a youth engagement in Accra on Sunday, November 3, 2024, that his vision is focused on a resilient, tech-driven Ghana dedicated to enabling economic possibilities for the country’s youth.
“I have my vision and priority,” Dr. Bawumia asserted.
He revealed that: “Given the opportunity by you, the people of Ghana, to lead, I shall govern as my own man with guidance from God Almighty.”
He emphasized that the main goal of his government will be to make Ghana a self-sufficient economy based on innovation and digital technologies.
Through industrial expansion and an emphasis on food security, Dr. Bawumia outlined his plan for promoting economic growth, utilizing digital tools, and generating a wide range of employment prospects.
“My vision is to build an inclusive, food self-sufficient, job-generating, data-driven, and system-based nation that will fully participate in the global digital revolution to solve our problems and usher in a golden age of benefits from our natural resources,” he explained.
Dr. Bawumia’s dedication to providing young Ghanaians with fulfilling, long-term employment opportunities—emphasized by digitalization and entrepreneurship—is at the heart of his strategy.
“I want to lead a nation that improves and unleashes the talents of our youth and offers good jobs with good pay and sustainable growth with macroeconomic discipline,” he said, urging a collaborative effort to tap into Ghana’s potential.
