Presidential Candidate Mr. John Mahama has questioned Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s promise to create jobs for the youth, calling it hollow in light of the government’s recent track record with unpaid allowances.
Speaking to supporters in Kwamikrom in the Biakoye Constituency as part of his Resetting Ghana Campaign tour, Mr. Mahama highlighted the plight of former Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) trainees, who remain unpaid months after completing their service. He cited this as proof of the administration’s failure to fulfill its commitments to young people.
“Dr. Bawumia talks about creating jobs, but let him first pay the NABCO trainees, who have waited months for their allowances,” Mahama said.
He urged Ghanaians to reject the ruling party, accusing them of eight years of unfulfilled promises. He also expressed disappointment over Dr. Bawumia’s absence from the National Peace Campaign launch.
“Yesterday, I set aside my campaign to support the peace campaign, but Bawumia was a no-show. Instead, he was off making promises to the youth. If he’s serious about supporting them, he should start by honoring the commitments already made.”
