Bawumia Must Step Down  – CDAG

In a strongly-worded statement, the Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana (CDAG) has urged Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia to step down from his position, holding him accountable for what they perceive as an unprecedented economic hardship in the country’s history.

The association argued Dr Bawumia’s recent claim of not being involved in economic formulations by President Akufo-Addo-led government is deceptive and a propaganda tool.

C-DAG asserted Dr Bawumia including President Akufo-Addo in his campaign advisors implied a continuation of current tax policies should he assume the presidency.

The association said this in a statement dated February 26, 2024, and signed by its National Chairman; Paa Willi, in Accra.

C-DAG emphasised that Dr Bawumia’s resignation is the only way for him to exonerate himself from the economic challenges faced by Ghanaians.

It argued that his continued stay in office confirmed his involvement in all government decisions and economic policies, including recent tax introductions.

Highlighting issues such as skyrocketing inflation, a weakened Ghanaian currency against the dollar, and frequent increments in petrol prices, the association expressed deep frustration with Ghana’s economic plight.

It mentioned attempts to adjust transport fares being halted by government intervention.

The association concluded by stating that their demand for Dr Bawumia’s resignation is non-negotiable.

It warned of serious actions and revolt if he remained in office beyond one week.

 Press Statement for Immediate Release

 BAWUMIA MUST STEP DOWN

We are by this statement urging Vice President Mahmoud Bawumia to step down as Vice President for superintending over an unprecedented economic hardship in the history of this country.

We consider his recent claim of not being part of economic formulations by this government as a deception and a propaganda tool to lure Ghanaians for votes.

His inclusion of President Akufo Addo in his campaign advisors gives life to our position as the move makes it clear that Vice President Mahmoud Bawumia when voted for as president will not depart from the tax policies currently being implemented by this government.

As of now the only way to exonerate himself is to honorably resign.

His continuous stay in office is a confirmation that he is fully part of all decisions made by the current government and responsible for every single economic policy including the additional obnoxious taxes introduced.

It must be noted that inflation rate has skyrocketed, the Ghanaian currency has plummeted against the dollar and price of petrol on constant increment to the detriment of drivers.

Within a week fuel prices have been increased twice but our desire to make an upward adjustment in transport fares to balance our sales have been halted by the government’s intervention.

We continue to stifle and gasp for breath and can no longer entertain any form of deception.

Our demand for Bawumia’s resignation is non-negotiable and his continued stay in office beyond one week shall see as take serious actions of revolt.
