Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on the youth of Ghana to support Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming presidential election.
Per Wontumi, choosing Dr Bawumia will bring about a new age where young individuals can access higher education with only their Ghana Cards and receive employment with monthly wages of ₵8,000 following graduation.
Addressing a crowd, Chairman Wontumi clarified that under a Bawumia administration, the national identification card, the Ghana Card, would simplify the procedure for obtaining higher education.
In addition, he stated that graduates could quickly secure jobs that offer a monthly salary of GHS 8,000, along with a structured repayment scheme to cover their tuition fees through deductions from their wages.
“Dr Bawumia says that if you vote for him to become president, you should take your Ghana Card and attend university. Upon completion, there will be an immediate job available that pays GHS 8,000 a month,” Wontumi declared in a widely circulated video.
Many Ghanaians are questioning and mocking the promises after his comments sparked a heated discussion on social media. Critics contend that the idea of abundant well-paid positions is not feasible, particularly given the country’s present economic difficulties.
