Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, has refuted claims that his presidency would enable Fulani herdsmen to damage farmlands.
He described these claims as propaganda by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), alleging that the opposition is spreading fears that voting for him would encourage lawlessness among the Fulbe people, who are his in-laws.
While campaigning in Ejura Sekyedumase on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, Dr Bawumia assured constituents that, under his leadership, Ghana’s laws would be applied equally and fairly to all citizens, regardless of background.
“Now the NDC is running propaganda that my reign will permit Fulanis to destroy the farmlands, but that will never happen, it’s all propaganda we will never allow it to happen.
“The law will deal with each and everybody. So please don’t listen to such propaganda that we will allow the Fulani to destroy your farmlands.”
“They will be arrested if they are caught. We are bringing Development with benefits to the town. Give me the Power and you will testify to that.”
