The Campaign
Team of Vice President and flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),
Mahamudu Bawumia has denied allegations of a Nigerian Islamic group funding his
campaign.
The allegations
were first thrown by a Nigerian journalist, David Humdeyin who said the group
by name, ACF was sending money to Ghana toward funding the Vice President’s
campaign.
But the
Communications Directorate of Mr. Bawumia’s campaign in a statement said the
reports are false and must be disregarded.
Below is the full statement.
Allegations of
Islamic Funding for the Bawumia Campaign is False
The attention of
the Bawumia Campaign Team has been drawn to a post by one David Humdeyin, a
journalist in Nigeria, that the Bawumia Campaign is being funded by some
Islamic group in Nigeria called the ACF.
We notice that
the same narrative has been copied by some persons and groups in Ghana on
social media. This narrative is obviously false, fabricated, and only serves
the propaganda purposes of its promoters.
For the
avoidance of doubt, the Bawumia Campaign has no funding or any linkage with any
Islamic group in Nigeria or anywhere else.
We also note
that the said David Humdeyin has demonstrated a penchant for making similar
claims against some persons and groups in Nigeria without any basis whatsoever
The Bawumia
Campaign is focused and will not be distracted by such vain untruths.
The Vice
President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has been very diligent and transparent from his
days as a scholar, banker, and politician throughout his life and will not
depart from these now and forever.
