GOODWILL MESSAGE IN HONOUR OF ALHAJI DR. MAHAMOUD BAWUMIA

 Where everyone is crawling, you are sitting; where everyone is sitting, you are standing; where everyone is standing, you are outstanding and where everyone is outstanding, you become the STANDARD for measuring performance. Where others see challenges, you see opportunities and where they see opportunities, you see and manifest successes. What others cannot see, you are able to see and what they see in future, you foresee now with your clairvoyance. It is therefore not surprising that they call you a prophet. You are undoubtedly, not just a blessing to the NPP, but Ghana, Africa, the World and indeed this generation as well as the unborn.

You contributed significantly towards the transformation of Ghana’s economy when you had the opportunity with your award winning exploits at the Bank of Ghana. You replicated this enviable feat in other African countries and in Europe. Your introduction into Ghana’s political scene in 2007 by Nana Akufo Addo would go in the annals of Ghana’s history as one of the most popular political decisions. On countless occasions, you shame your critics, both within and outside your political tradition. Any attempt made by your detractors to malign and vilify you, ends up becoming a monumental blessing to you. 

You have, time without number, been vindicated in all your prophesies on Ghana’s economy despite the vitriolic repudiation and cynicism that same was met with; as well as the malignant attacks slapped on you by the babies with sharp teeth. Among several others, mention can be made of your prophesy that the NDC government would take Ghana back to the IMF by 2015 due to their reckless borrowing, your revelation about the faulty methodology used in the computation of inflationary figures; which was later corroborated by the IMF, your postulation that the Bank of Ghana’s prescriptions on how to arrest our fast depreciating cedi during the acute exchange rate volatilities. 

I can go on and on and on but still cannot finish because the list is INEXHAUSTIBLE. In fact, I am yet to see a single prediction or forecast you have made about the Ghanaian economy which hasn’t materialized. No wonder the business community, to a large extent, depends on some of your economic projections in drawing their business plan. In fact, some industry players who attended your latest lecture at the national theatre on the state of the Ghanaian economy confirmed this assertion to some media houses.

Politically, you are the reason why the NDC can no longer claim to have the northern region, which happens to be your home region, as their stronghold having ensured that the NPP’s electoral fortunes increased by some 400% in the last elections. This is in respect of the number of parliamentary seats occupied by the party (NPP) in the region. You have also rebranded the NPP and made it very appealing to the youth and students of this country. I say without doubt that you remain the NUMBER ONE THREAT to the electoral fortunes of the NDC. Like I once said, discerning Ghanaians prefer to grant you audience than the president of the Republic because of the hope you exude and this is evidenced in the overwhelming patronage your lectures receive. Your virtues, I cannot finish extolling…

On the occasion of your birthday, I am pleased to join the rest of the World in wishing you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. May your wishes for this country and continent be realized soonest and may you continue to enjoy the best of health and prosperity. It is also my humble prayer that Almighty ALLAH continues to overwhelm you with His bountiful blessings and favours. Long live the BAWUMIAS! Long live Mother Ghana!

Assalamu alaikum
