New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has sent a defiant message to his critics, declaring that no level of attacks can break him because he is formidable and resilient in the face of adversity.
Addressing thousands of NPP supporters in Accra after submitting his nomination forms, the former Vice President acknowledged attacks from the opposition, as well as recently from some members of his own party.
However, he drew inspiration from one of the iconic founding fathers of the NPP, Kofi Abrefa Busia.
“Fellow Kukrudites, in the words of Kofi Abrefa Busia, the qualification to be a success in Ghanaian politics includes ‘a large capacity to stomach all sorts of attacks,’” Dr. Bawumia said.
“I am not oblivious to the fact that the NDC, and lately elements within our own family, subject me to daily attacks. I expect there will be more attacks in the coming months and years. But if I have learnt anything from our history, it is that a man must be formidable so that no matter the adversity, he stands tall, focused, and resolute.”
The 2024 NPP presidential candidate added that he remains unshaken because he has already faced the worst of the attacks and has been vindicated over time.
“All that can be hurled at me, I have already endured. As the days go by, time has shown great vindication,” he said.
“The Bank of Ghana, the IMF, and even NDC kingpins are now admitting on many matters that Bawumia was right. What more can they say of me now?”
He concluded: “In our history, when all has been said of a candidate and yet he remains standing, victory is the logical next step that awaits him.”
