NPP Has Done More In 2 Years – Bawumia

Dr. Bawumia believes the NPP has transformed the country despite the short space of time.

According to him, the Nana Addo government has done tremendously well to deliver on most of its promises made during the 2016 elections.

The NPP government took over power from the NDC administration after the 2016 election and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia believes Nana Addo has achieved more in his 2 years in office than many previous governments did over two terms.

According to him, despite the New Patriotic Party (NPP) being in power for just two years, the government has been more productive than others did in eight years.

In a Facebook post enumerating the achievements of the two-year old administration, Dr Bawumia thanked God for his mercies, and making it possible for President Akufo-Addo and the NPP to uphold his promises to Ghanaians.

“It has been two years of hard but fruitful work for the people of Ghana. We thank God for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo!!!” he said.

Below is the full post enumerating the government’s achievements:
