Samira Bawumia with Northern Regional Chairman of the NPP
Samira Bawumia, the wife of the vice presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has indicated that the presidential candidate of the NPP Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will fix the economy of Ghana if given the nod.
According to Samira, the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) has collapsed while businesses have closed down because of the harsh economic conditions.
She assured voters that the next NPP administration under the leadership of Nana Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawimia would fix the economy to improve their lives.
Mrs Bawumia stated that the NPP would establish an entrepreneur project and provide loans to young people who want to establish their own business.
She disclosed this at an event organized by the Ghana National Tailors and Dressmakers Association (GNTDA) in Tamale in the Northern Region.
The wife of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia urged the dressmakers not to let anybody deceive them but assess their situation before casting their ballot on 7th December, 2016.
“We are all suffering today, all of you should vote massively for Nana Addo and all parliamentary candidates so that the NPP gets a one-touch victory.”
The Northern Regional Chairman of the NPP Daniel Bugri Naabu told DAILY GUIDE that the jobless young men roam the streets aimless while the young ladies travel to the south to work as porters, also known as Kayayee.
The outspoken chairman of the NPP indicated that the dressmaking industry has dwindled recently due to the prolong energy crisis known as Dumsor, which led to the neglect of electric sewing machines for manual ones.
He appealed to the dressmakers to vote massively for the NPP, reiterating that the NPP would permanently tackle the energy crisis if voted into power come December 7.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) donated GH¢2,000 to the Dressmakers Association in fulfillment of a pledge it made to them at a similar event.
The party also presented 1,000 pieces of tape measures and 1,000 pairs of scissors to the dressmakers in the Northern Region.
