The Paramount Chief of the Builsa Traditional Area has described NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's historic election victory in the party's presidential primaries as an affirmation of his character and traits as a human being and a leader.

According to Sandem-Nab Azagsuk Azantilow II, Dr Bawumia's victory, despite the many challenges including competing against nine others is indicative of his manifest destiny, and he looks forward to engaging him at the level of President of the Republic after December 2024.

Nab Azantilow made these remarks on Friday 26th July, 2024 when he received Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and his campaign team at his palace in Sandema, Builsa North Constituency in the Upper East Region.

Dr Bawumia, who had earlier visited the Yagaba Kubori and Builsa South Constituencies as part of his constituency-focused nationwide campaign, was in Sandema to formally introduce himself as Presidential Candidate and also introduce the party's candidate for Builsa North, Thomas Alonsi, to the Builsa Overlord.

"Your Excellency, permit me to avail myself of this occasion to convey to your good self, my felicitations on your nomination as leader and Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party. Following your resounding victory at the primaries of the party last year, your historic nomination is an affirmation of your sterling qualities as a politician and leader, and a human being," Nab Azantilow declared.

"As you take your campaign across the country, I wish you well. I also pray for Allah's blessings for you, personally, your family and members of your campaign team...

"I look forward to meeting you in 2025 as President of the Republic, Insha Allah," he added.
