Just as Nathaniel asked; “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” in John 1:46 when he heard that Jesus was from that town, the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has expressed optimism in something good coming from Walewale.
Sharing his firm belief in the divine powers of God, the Vice President says if it is the will of God that he leads this country and transform it, there is nothing that can alter it.
Speaking with the clergy in Takoradi Thursday, May 02, 2024, as part of his campaign tour to the Western Region, Dr. Bawumia said he is confident God can use him irrespective of his background to transform this country.
“I believe that I can do something for Ghana. I believe God uses everybody that he wants to use to change the society…I believe that something good can come from Walewale and if God says that it should come from Walewale it will come from Walewale,” he stated.
He also called upon the clergy to intercede and prevent politicians from compromising the nation’s peace for their political gains.
The Vice President also noted that his respect for all religions was instilled in him from his home and pledged to collaborate with the church to address some of the developmental challenges facing the country.
In a related development, the Vice President during a meeting with the Regional House of Chiefs later in the day said he was ready to take bold decisions to transform the country and should therefore be given the opportunity.
