“While many of our members offered excuses when the party needed a witness for the 2012 general election petition, I made the sacrifice, fully aware of the implications if I failed to deliver in court,” Dr. Bawumia asserted.
He further explained that numerous individuals were reluctant to jeopardize their political futures and cited travel plans as one of the common excuses. However, Dr. Bawumia stood firm in his conviction and believes that his commitment and sacrifice make him the ideal candidate to lead the party.
