Dr. Bawumia: I’m in Politics to Change Lives, Not Chase Wealth

Former Vice President and flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has reiterated that his motivation for entering politics is rooted in service to the people, not personal enrichment.

 

Speaking during his campaign tour of Amenfi West in the Western Region, Dr. Bawumia emphasized that his record in public service demonstrates his commitment to integrity, efficiency, and the prudent use of national resources.

 

“I entered politics to serve the people, not to enrich myself,” he declared. “When we initiated the Mobile Money Interoperability project, the NDC had proposed a contract worth 1.2 billion dollars. We cancelled that deal and instead completed the entire project for just 4.5 million dollars — not even up to 5 million. This initiative has greatly benefited Ghanaians and created thousands of jobs.”

 

Dr. Bawumia said his satisfaction comes from seeing how the initiatives have positively impacted lives across the country.

 

“My greatest joy comes from seeing how these projects are transforming lives, not from personal gain. I am not in politics for money — I am here to make a difference in the lives of ordinary Ghanaians,” he stated.

 

The former Vice President urged delegates in Amenfi West and across Ghana to support his bid to lead the NPP in 2028.
