The Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has stated that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will always stand with the people of Gonjaland.

Speaking ahead of the campaign tour of the flagbearer of the NPP, Mr Ahiagbah recounted that Dr Bawumia supported President Akufo-Addo to create the Savannah region, a promise his opponent, former President John Dramani Mahama, could not fulfill.

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

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

On behalf of the North East Regional House of Chiefs, its President, Ndugna Nayiri Naa Bohugu Abdulai Sheriga, commended him for his decency in the ongoing campaign for the 2024 elections.

In a speech delivered on his behalf, during an interactive meeting between Dr Bawumia and the House in Nalerigu on Monday, Ndugna Nayiri Naa Bohugu Abdulai Sheriga, who is also the Overlord of Mamprugu, said Dr Bawumia 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,” said the Nayiri.

“I will urge you to continue in the same manner.”

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 showing 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.”
