Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has promised to build an airport city in the Ashanti Region’s Manhyia North constituency.
Dr. Bawumia claims that if he is elected president on December 7, the project will be based on Accra’s Airport City.
As part of his Ashanti Regional tour, Dr. Bawumia pledged to spearhead this program.
“We want to establish an Airport City here in Manhyia North so that you can reap the benefits. I led the negotiations for this airport with the UK government… Just as we have an Airport City in Accra, we want to create one here in Kumasi.”
In appealing for voter support, he added, “If you vote for me, by the grace of God, I can serve as president for eight years, and I will return here to give an account of my work.
“Promote me and let me be president. Give me the steering wheel, and let me drive.”
