  "account": "NPP presidential candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has given GH¢50,000 to aid the operations of St Jude Catholic Church in Weija, Greater Accra Region. This donation adds to his earlier support, which included funding the construction of the church building and an inclusive washroom facility. During a mass attended by church officials and Dr Bawumia, he inaugurated the new washroom. Following the service, he visited the Weija Leprosarium, meeting with patients and vowing continued aid. Dr Bawumia explained his motivation came from Rev. Fr Andrew Campbell, lauded for his commitment to assisting the poor, sick, and leprosy patients. \"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,\" Bawumia said. Reverend Fr Andrew Campbell responded, praising Bawumia's empathy towards the vulnerable, noting his personal interaction with leprosy patients and his efforts to help many through his compassion.",
