11 Mahama policies that Dr. Bawumia dishonestly “STOLE”: Joyce Bawah Mogtari

Ahead of the 2024 election campaign season in Ghana, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and a special aid to John Mahama, has accused the Vice President and flagbearer of the ruling NPP government of plagiarising 11 policies of the NDC’s flagbearer John Dramani Mahama.

In a post she made on Twitter, sighted by the Elections in Ghana team, she asserted that Dr. Bawumia and the NPP lack ideas, hence their decision to “steal” the ideas of the former President and NDC flagbearer.

She argued that Dr. Bawumia has lost a grip over Ghanaian voters. “It is obvious that our Vice President has totally lost his grip and is totally out of touch with the electorate.” She said this in her tweet.

According to her, the Vice President has no new ideas after his infamous Vision for Ghana statement following his election as flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

“Bawumia has no message and certainly lacks new ideas.”After panting over the presentation of his so-called vision for Ghana statement, he appears to have abandoned his vision statement and appears to be intentionally stealing from John Mahama’s manifesto.”
