Adopt positive mindset for possibilities - Bawumia urges Ghanaians

The flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has called on Ghanaians to adopt positive mindsets to unlock their “can-do” spirits to drive economic growth and transformation.

Dr Bawumia emphasised the importance of embracing a positive mindset in achieving success and criticised the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for dismissing innovative proposals by the NPP, only to later turn around to claim ownership when the NPP succeeds.

"We must develop a mindset of possibilities, generating ideas that will drive Ghana’s future economic fortunes, unlike our opponents in the NDC, who are myopic in ideas and think our ingenious proposals are impossible. We have proven them wrong,” he said.

Mega Ofie Walk

He was addressing thousands of party sympathisers who participated in the ‘Mega Ofie Walk’ at the Mampong Coronation Park last Saturday, organised by the NPP parliamentary aspirant for Akuapem North, Sammy Awuku.

Dr Bawumia, who is also the Vice President, encouraged Ghanaians to shift their focus from limitations, a key character of the NDC, to possibilities, embracing innovation, creativity and hard work.

“When we believe in ourselves and our abilities, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve greatness,” he said. He told the crowd that the NPP would continue to think and initiate innovative ideas that would spur economic growth and bring prosperity to the people of Ghana, underscoring the future of Ghana's energy needs.

He promised digital skills training for one million youth, a new tax policy and simplified passport applications using the Ghana Card. "With your Ghana Card, you will not fill out any passport application form. Just pay the passport fee and your passport will be printed, since we already have your biometric details,” he said.

Future

Mr Awuku  highlighted the significance of this year's elections, emphasising the choice between stagnation, which he abhorred, and progress, which he stood for. "Elections shape the future and carry profound implications. A vote for the NDC is a vote for retrogression.

“We appreciate the difficulties Ghanaians are going through but trust Dr Bawumia to turn things around under the ingenious policies he will introduce in the next government," Mr Awuku stated.

Among the personalities that attended the walk were the National Chairman of the NPP, Stephen Ayesu Ntim; the Eastern Regional Chairman of the NPP, Jeff Konadu; the Eastern Regional Minister, Seth Kwame Acheampong, and the National Women's Organiser, Kate Gyamfua.
