The chiefs and residents of Wechiau in the Wa West constituency of the Upper West Region have pledged their support to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and its presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, in the upcoming elections.
Naa Imoru Nandon Gomah II, the paramount chief of Wechiau, gave the pledge while welcoming Dr Bawumia to his palace yesterday. He reiterated the party’s consistent commitment to advancing local development initiatives over the years.
Dr. Bawumia was in the palace as part of his constituency-focused nationwide campaign tour. He engaged traditional authorities, religious and opinion leaders, the youth and all facets of society on his vision for Ghana’s future.
According to the chief, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s decision to formally announce to them, his parents, that he is vying for the position of the President of Ghana is further evidence of his respect for traditional institutions, assuring him that they would reward him in due course.
Appreciation
He outlined the many benefits enjoyed by the people of the traditional area anytime the NPP is in power. Naa Gomah II expressed gratitude to previous and current NPP administrations.
“Your Excellency, NPP Government since 2004 has given us a lot of developmental projects. The Wa West District was created by the NPP Government in 2004. The NPP Government has given us the biggest project, that is the Agenda 111 hospital project.
“The NPP government has also given us some dams and dugouts under One Village One Dam. The district has also received some roads. We have also benefitted from the Free Senior High School programme, as well as the School Feeding programme,” he stated.
The paramount chief of Wechiau pronounced his blessings on Dr Bawumia as he seeks to lead the nation.
“As chiefs, we can assure you of our support to enable you continue the good works of the New Patriotic Party Government after 7th December, 2024. We wish you God’s blessings and protection,” he stated.
Appeal
Dr Bawumia urged the people of the Wa West to give him and the NPP the opportunity to build upon the gains made so far.
He added: “My vision for Ghana’s future will see us, among others, train our children for the future, and equip our youth with the requisite skills to create jobs, and compete favourably with their contemporaries across the world.”
