Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is undoubtedly the best Vice President the country has ever had in the history of the 4th republic. He has arguably out performed all previous occupants of the office of the Vice President. Before Dr. Bawumia the Vice President office was only seen as a symbolic representation which was only seen as a second fiddle. 

Before Dr. Bawumia the office of the Vice President was seen as a docile entity where even chief of staff was seen as more powerful than the Vice President.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia with his special competent traits  has been able to  transformed the office of the Vice President from a docile entity to an innovative office , from a second fiddle to very  important office where most policies were initiated. Before I proceed I would like to quote *Dr. Etse Sikanku*, a senior Lecture of Ghana Institute of Journalism and the Director for the Directorate of Research, Innovation and Development. He gave  heartwarming and honest description of Dr. Bawumia. " *But for all that is worth, Dr. Bawumia has succeeded in transforming the office of the Vice President from one of a docility to activism, symbolic representation to policy implementation, and from mysticism to realism.* 

Dr. Bawumia ever since he became the Vice President has spearheaded dozens of convenience policies through digitization, from Medical drone delivery service, paperless port, Mobile Money interoperability, Digital Property Addressing System, E- pharmacy, E- ticketing, NHIS mobile renewal, Ghana card as E- passport just to mention a few.

Before Dr. Bawumia one has to travel miles just to withdraw money for business transaction but now even at dawn one can successfully transact business in the comfort of his bed. 

Before Dr. Bawumia so many lives were been lost to snake bites in the rural areas but today thanks to the introduction of Medical drone delivery service lives are been saved at the spot in the event of snake bites.  With the introduction of e- pharmacy prescriptions are delivered to sick people in the comfort of their homes without any stress. Before that sick people and their relatives have to be moving from one pharmacy to the other for their prescriptions. The stress that importers have to go through to clear their cargos was very unbearable and demotivating but with the introduction of paperless port system importers can now conveniently clear their cargos without much stress. 

All the above mentioned convenience policies were all done by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the Vice President looking at the history of the office of the Vice President. 

Dr. Bawumia  coming in as the President with all the executive powers with his own Vision is going to position Ghana as a destination of *convenience and comfort* in Africa and beyond.

With Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the next flagbearer and President convenient is assured. His vision to make Ghana the digital hub of Africa is the game changer.

 Thank you.
