The vice presidential candidate of the New
Patriotic Party (NPP) has dared the chief of staff Julius Debrah to vote for
Nana Akufo-Addo, who also hails from the Eastern region, if he believes in the
“vote for your own” theory he propagated in the North.Mr. Debrah over
the weekend said Northerners should vote for President John Mahama because he is
from the region.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia wondered why the Chief of Staff was
not applying the same principle since he is from the Eastern region, where Nana
Akufo-Addo also comes from, if indeed voting for someone from “your region is
what is needed to positively transform the lives of an individual or
group”.
“Over the weekend we heard the Chief of Staff in the North saying
that John Mahama is from the North so people from the North should vote for him;
ironically, the Chief of Staff is from the Eastern region, so why is he not
voting for Nana Akufo-Addo? The Chief of Staff thinks he can deceive
us.
“The people of the North do not need the Chief of Staff to remind
them that Mahama is their brother; the people of the North are witnesses to the
corruption and incompetence. What happened to the SADA money? The people of the
North remember how John Mahama allowed money meant for their development to be
stolen by his people,” the economist told the people of Diaso in the Upper West
Denkyira constituency of the Central region.
Stressing that it was
ultimately about who can deliver and improve on the lives of the people, Dr.
Bawumia noted that even though he is from the North, he will just campaign on
that fact but indicated that the most important reason why the NPP must be voted
for in the December election is that the Nana Akufo-Addo – Mahamudu Bawumia –
NPP ticket is the competent and visionary team that can be trusted to change the
lives of Ghanaians positively and bring the development, jobs and prosperity
desired.
Dr. Bawumia who has been on a tour of constituencies in the
Central region since Monday, was accompanied on his tour in the Upper West
Denkyira Constituency by Member of Parliament for the Constituency, Benjamin
Ayeh and NPP Parliamentary Candidate for the Constituency, Samuel Nsonwa
Gyan.
