Bawumia Denies Plans to Arm Fulanis Against Farmers
The Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has debunked claims that his administration will empower Fulani herdsmen to wreak havoc to farms with their livestock.
Speaking at a rally at Ejura Sekyedumase Constituency in the Ashanti Region, he rubbished the claims as a mere propaganda with no truth to it.
On the contrary, he assured the predominantly farming district of his support when elected.
“There is this propaganda that I will give Fulani herdsmen the nod to destroy farms when I become President. They are all lies. That won’t happen so disregard it as a propaganda. It’s not true. Lets all unite and go and vote number one.”
Meanwhile, he urged the district to oust the National Democratic Congress sitting legislator for Gifty Ndoma, the NPP Candidate.
Dr Bawumia is in the Ashanti Region for his campaign tour in the lead up to the December Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
His party is hoping to clutch a historic third term in government, the first since the fourth republic.
