Direct NPP PCs to remove posters on DRIP equipment – Mahama tells Bawumia
John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, to direct his parliamentary candidates to remove their political posters from District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) equipment.
DRIP is a nationwide initiative aimed at improving road conditions across all 275 constituencies.
At a rally in Yeji, Pru East District, Mahama stressed that the DRIP project, funded by taxpayers’ money, should not be used for political advertising.
He emphasised that the equipment, distributed across the country, belongs to all Ghanaians, not just the NPP.
Mahama urged President Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia to recognize their duty to serve the entire nation, rather than just their party.
He demanded the immediate removal of the posters and warned that the NDC would take further action if necessary.
According to him, “It’s the government’s money, funded by the taxes we all pay—whether you’re NPP, CPP, Christian, or Muslim—everyone contributes. They’ve used those taxes to import earth-moving equipment for road construction, and each district has been allocated some. But now, we’re seeing posters of NPP parliamentary candidates on the DRIP equipment.”
He said, “I want to remind Akufo-Addo and Bawumia that they serve the entire country, not just the NPP. The equipment doesn’t belong to the party; it belongs to all Ghanaians.”
“No one has the right to place their posters on the DRIP equipment. They must order the immediate removal of these posters, or we’ll be forced to take action ourselves,” he stated.
