The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will receive massive votes in the five regions up North for his humility and hard work, Alhaji Salifu Sa-eed, a Senior Campaign Aide to the 2024 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has pronounced.
The former Northern Regional Minister said the Vice President has conducted himself well to the admiration of all key stakeholders including the traditional leaders, clergy, Imams and opinion leaders among others.
“I can tell you that he [Dr Bawumia] has conducted himself very well to the key stakeholders of the five northern regions and they have come to appreciate his conduct. He is very intelligent, he is humble, he is results-oriented and he is very focused and he understands the wishes and aspirations of the people of the North” he emphasized.
He added, “That comes to explain why since he was picked as the running mate to the point that he became the Vice President, every year in the five northern regions we increase votes.
“We’re saying these things based on facts and figures. When I came here as the Regional Minister we had 31 constituencies in the northern region and out of it the NPP had only 9 seats and the NDC holding 22 seats but I brought myself down to the people, the youth, the women, Imams and Pastors and today the NPP has 16 seats and the NDC have 15 seats” he stated.
Pro poor policies
Mr. Salifu Sa-eed noted the numerous pro poor policy interventions introduced by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government since 2017 have uplifted the socioeconomic livelihood of the people from absolute poverty to relative poverty margin.
Dagbon Peace
The former Regional Minister said the National Democratic Congress can no longer do chieftaincy politics since the age-long Dagbon chieftaincy impasse was resolved in 2019.
“…We worked closely with the chiefs and key stakeholders and we were able to resolve the Dagbon chieftaincy crisis and that has helped. Some people were not voting the NPP because the NDC was using the chieftaincy to campaign and we have resolved it” he maintained.
