Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has donated GH¢50,000 to support the operations of St. Jude Catholic Church at Weija.
The donation forms part of Dr Bawumia’s continued support for the church. He had previously contributed to the construction of the church building, including an eight-seater washroom facility equipped with disability-friendly features.
Dr Bawumia was honoured during a Holy Mass held in recognition of his contributions to the church. He also commissioned the newly constructed washroom facility.
As part of his visit, Dr Bawumia toured the Weija Leprosarium, where he interacted with patients and assured them of his continued support.
Speaking after the ceremony, Dr Bawumia presented GH¢50,000 to the church and pledged to continue supporting its activities.
“Father Campbell is an extraordinary person. He’s a true man of God, and he cares about the poor, the needy, the hungry, the lepers, the street children, the sick, and this is something I also care deeply about.
“So when he told me, when I came to see that he was putting up this church, I said, ‘Father, I will help you to complete this church,’ and provided the required resources. I’m so happy to see the church today. It is very beautiful,” he said.
Reacting to the donation, Fr Andrew Campbell described Dr Bawumia’s support as a reflection of his generosity and commitment to improving the well-being of others.
“Dr Bawumia has that empathy towards needy and sick people. I’ve noticed it in the way he interacts when he comes and meets all those who had leprosy. Today, you saw him; he shook hands with everybody, hugged them and shook hands with them. He’s helping so many people because he has love for humanity,” he said.
