  "summary": "Former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has commissioned the newly built St. Jude’s Catholic Church at New Weija in Accra. The church, which includes modern washroom facilities and serves the cured lepers at the Weija Leprosarium, was built as a fulfillment of a promise Dr. Bawumia made to his long-time friend, Rev. Fr. Andrew Campbell, the renowned Catholic priest and founder of the Lepers Aid Centre. Dr. Bawumia expressed his joy at seeing the project completed and promised to add a drainage system to improve sanitation. He commended the contractor and artisans for their excellent workmanship and described the church as a \"beautiful sight to behold.\" Father Andrew Campbell, the resident priest at St. Jude’s Church, praised Dr. Bawumia for his consistent generosity and compassion, revealing that the former Vice President has been a pillar of support for his charity works over the years.",
