Dr Bawumia paying homage to Wechiau traditional leaders
The Chiefs and people of Wechiau in the Wa West Constituency of the Upper West Region have promised to vote this time for the candidates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) due to the party’s sustained commitment to the development of the area over the years.
According to the chiefs, the NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s decision to formally “announce to us as your parents, that you are vying for the position of the President of Ghana,” is further evidence of Dr. Bawumia’s respect for traditional institutions,” and they would reward him in due course.
Paramount Chief of Wechiau, Naa Imoru Nandon Gomah II, gave the assurance while welcoming Dr. Bawumia to his palace on Monday, July 22, 2024.
The NPP flagbearer was at the palace as part of his constituency-focused nationwide campaign tour, during which he engages with traditional authorities, religious and opinion leaders, and the youth to shed more light on his vision for Ghana’s future.
Outlining the many benefits enjoyed by the people of the traditional area any time 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 government has also constructed roads for the district. 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, saying, “As Chiefs, we can assure you of our support to enable you continue the good works of the New Patriotic Party government after December 7, 2024. We wish you God’s blessings and protection.”
Thanking the chiefs for their support, Dr. Bawumia urged the people of Wa West Constituency to give him and the NPP the opportunity to build upon the gains made so far, adding, “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.”
