The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential candidate for 2024 general election, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has reiterated his call to party faithful, to be tolerant and treat one another with mutual respect.
Speaking to party stakeholders in the Savannah Region during the NPP’s thank you tour on Saturday, Dr. Bawumia said some of the deadliest weapons against the NPP are utterances of party members against each other, which he said are always used against the party.
“During the 2024 elections, our own utterances against each other, against the party and against our government, were used against us.
“In fact, they (NDC) sponsored adverts in the media, using utterances of our own members against us during the campaign.
“If we are to stay stronger as a party, such conducts ought to stop because it does not help the unity and strength of our party,” Dr Bawumia pointed out.
The former Vice President specifically appealed to party supporters and communicators across the country to desist from attacking fellow members on media platforms, urging instead for tolerance, mutual respect, and constructive engagement.
The Thank You Tour, which began last weekend, is aimed at expressing the appreciation of the party and its flagbearer to party executives, grassroots members, and the wider Ghanaian public for their support during the election campaign, despite the party’s loss.
The tour has already made stops in the Western, Western North, Bono, Ahafo, Ashanti and Bono East Regions.
The delegation has now moved to the northern parts of the country, starting with the Savannah Region.
According to the party’s itinerary, the Upper West Region will be visited on Sunday, followed by the Upper East Region on Monday, the North East Region on Tuesday, and the Northern Region on Wednesday, 7 May 2025.
The tour will later continue in the southern sector with stops in the Oti, Volta, Eastern and Greater Accra Regions in the coming days.
Accompanying Dr Bawumia on the tour are leading figures of the NPP, including the party’s National Chairman, Stephen Ayesu Ntim, who has returned to Accra temporarily on urgent matters, Third National Vice Chairman, and the General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong.
