The Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has said, ahead of the campaign tour of the flagbearer of the NPP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, of the Savannah Region, that the vice president will always stand with the people of Gonjaland.

Ahiagbah added that Dr. Bawumia supported President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to create the Savannah Region, a promise his main opponent, former President John Dramani Mahama, could not achieve.

In a post on his X wall, Richard Ahiagbah said "Bawumia will always stand with Gonjaland. He firmly supported H.E. Akufo-Addo in creating the Savannah Region, a promise that H.E. Mahama failed to fulfill during his presidency. Vote Bawumia to do more for Gonjaland."

Dr. Mahamudu Bawmua, on Monday, May 13, concluded his tour of the North East Region.

He said he was touched by the overwhelming reception accorded him by the people.

The President of the North East Regional House of Chiefs, Ndugna Nayiri Naa Bohugu Abdulai Sheriga, on behalf of the House, commended Bawumia for his decency in the on-going campaign for the 2024 elections.

In a speech delivered on his behalf, during an interactive meeting between Dr. Bawumia and the House when he arrived at Nalerigu on Monday, Ndugna Nayiri Naa Bohugu Abdulai Sheriga, who is also the Overlord of Mamprugu, said the NPP flagbearer has conducted himself well and should continue like that in the campaign.

“I have observed so far the civility and the admirable nature with which you conduct your campaign.

“I will urge you to continue in same manner,” he said.

The Nayiri also commended Dr. Bawumia for his remarkable work as vice president and assured him of the region’s support in his bid to become the president of Ghana.

“As we prepare for election this year, the least we can do for you as the son of the soil is to honour you with the opportunity to serve at the highest echelon of state power.

“We shall not turn our back on you, especially having demonstrated competence, loyalty, resilience and more importantly regard for the institution of Chieftaincy.

“I am deeply persuaded that you have it in you to carry out the task ahead. You can rise to the challenge and uphold the good name of Ghana and make her greater and stronger,” he said.
