Mike Ocquaye Snr Says Rejecting Bawumia Is Akin To Hating God's Gift
- The former Speaker of Parliament, Aaron Mike Ocquaye Snr., has urged Ghanaians to vote for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia
- He said the Vice President's contribution to Ghana's political space is unprecedented and can still do more
- Ocquaye also said those who rejected the candidacy of Dr Bawumia would be rejecting God's blessings upon them
Former Speaker of Parliament, Aaron Mike Ocquaye Snr., said Ghanaians would reject God’s gift if they did not vote for the New Patriotic Party flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to Ocquaye, Dr Bawumia’s peerless contribution to the country’s political space as Vice President cannot be underestimated and should be rewarded.
He said this when Dr Bawumia embarked on his campaign tour to Dome Kwabenya in the Greater Accra Region.
Ocquaye said the Veep's brave actions during the 2012 election petition set the tone for Pink Sheets to receive attention and recognition.
Since then, they have been the preferred document to settle election controversies.
He said during the 2012 election petition, Dr Bawumia’s performance in court allowed the New Patriotic Party and Ghanaians to see the star in him.
Ocquaye said the star is a gift, and Ghanaians should not let it go.
“If you do not take advantage of such a gift, then you do not want the good things in life. You hate the blessings of God," he said.
Bawumia: God can transform Ghana through me
Earlier, the New Patriotic Party presidential candidate pledged to collaborate with the clergy to address the country's developmental challenges.
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia spoke in Takoradi on May 2 during a meeting with clergy members during his Western Regional campaign tour.
According to him, just as God used kings of old to bring development to His people in the Bible, God can also use him to bring development to Ghana.
"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 urged the clergy to continue praying for Ghana as the country nears the December 7 polls, saying peace was essential to ensuring rapid development.
Dr Bawumia also urged the clergy to use their pulpits to preach about peace and advise the youth against being exploited by power-hungry politicians to foment disaster in the upcoming polls.
