He was speaking at a campaign rally in Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region Sunday.
Dr Bawumia said: "Now when transforming Ghana, it is only one thing the NDC has transformed and that is corruption.
"Today, SADA, the vehicle that was supposed to bring northern development is saddled, indeed turning into a vehicle of corruption.

"They claimed they were doing Guinea fowls and when we said where are the Guinea fowls they said they have run to Burkina Faso.
"You have corruption that has been transformed with SADA, with Woyome, with GYEEDA, with all the Smartyys they are doing.
"Today, Corruption in Ghana is running at a speed of a ford expedition from Burkina Faso."
"Corruption is running at a speed of a ford expedition from Burkina Faso," he repeated to loud cheers from party supporters who had gathered.
Touching on the economy, Dr Bawumia promised voters sound economic management so as to create jobs.

He jibed the NDC, saying they will be dazed at the sort of economic transformation that will occur under NPP.
He said: "We are going to transform this economy like you've never seen it before. We are going to create jobs in this economy. Al the things we said we are going to do, they (NDC) are confused. They are asking, where are you going to get the money to do this. It is all about competent economic management.
"It is all about competent economic management."
Dr Bawumia said the NPP with a total revenue of GHC20 billion during the erstwhile Kufuor administration was able to transform Ghana. However, he said the NDC is failing to do so with GHC200 billion.
He further accused the NDC administration of stealing, adding that an NPP government will allocate resources according to priorities.

"When we [NPP] had GHC20 billion, we were able to transform this economy. They couldn't do it with GHC200 billion
"I am telling you if they [NDC] stop stealing the money, there will be enough money to develop this country.
"So we are going to use the resources of this country to develop the country and allocate them to the priorities of this country.
"They are focused on stealing the money. They have not thought of how to use if well. And when Nana Akufo-Addo comes into office the NDC will be dazed. They will be completely dazed with the sort of economic management that is going to take place in this country," he concluded.
