If there is anyone in mamprugu within the largest opposition party of
the country who still doubt that walewale constituency cannot be taken
back by the ruling National Democratic Congress;who still wonder if JM
and Hon. Abdallah Abubakari can win in walewale constituency; who
still have faith in the Bawumia factor in mamprugu;then 29th
September, 2016 the day Hon. Abdallah Abubakari filed his nomination
in readiness for the battle at the electoral commission office in
walewale has provided the answer.
It is the answer told by the thousands of supporters within walewale
township alone who came out in their numbers to welcome the northern
regional minister Hon. Abdallah Abubakari into the constituency to
file his nomination at the electoral commission ahead of the 2016
presidential and parliamentary elections. In fact the people have
really chased the elephant into the bush which will never show up
anywhere in walewale constituency and mamprugu as a whole.
It is the answer spoken by young and old, members of the National
Democratic Congress and non members across mamprugu- who sent a
message to NPP fraternity that, JM and Hon. Abdallah Abubakari are the
best team for walewale constituency. There is no doubt about the
National Democratic Congress winning in walewale constituency and the
rest of the four constituencies in mamprugu.
It is left with barely two months and some few days to elections, but
what happened on the historic day of Hon. Abdallah Abubakari filling
shows that, in this years election,at that defining moment, JM and
Hon. Abdallah Abubakari have won in advance.
Hon. Abdallah Abubakari fought long and hard for mamprugu and he has
even fought harder and longer for the constituency he loves. He
endured sacrifices
for mamprugu that most of our opponents in NPP cannot begin to
imagine and we are better off for the services rendered by this brave
and selfless leader within the period of his six months in office as
the northern regional minister.
I personally as a young Democrat congratulate
him (Hon. Abdallah Abubakari) and his Excellency Wumpini John Dramani
Mahama for all they have achieved in mamprugu in even though it will
take the myopic and narrow minded people within the NPP decades to
realize the good works of the duo in mamprugu.
His Excellency Wumpini John Dramani Mahama has achieved a lot in
mamprugu to deserve our votes in this election. He had given us good
drinking water, established college of education in mamprugu, upgraded
the Nalerigu health assistance school to the status of college of
nursing and midwifery school,connecting communities to the national
grid, establishing ICT centers, building of community day schools,
expansion of facilities in the existing Senior high schools,
construction of roads, building of education offices, and many more.
Mamprugu, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so
much more to do in mamprugu if his Excellency Wumpini John Dramani
Mahama is elected as the president of Ghana to continue with his
second term. So in this election, let's ask ourselves whether we want
to be mentioned among those who are going to make John Dramani Mahama
victorious or not? Because John Dramani Mahama Insha Allah will surely
emerge victorious.
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is
our time to recapture all the seats we lost to the New Patriotic Party
and open more, the doors of opportunity for ourselves and to change
lives and transform mamprugu as a whole.
Now even as we have chosen his Excellency Wumpini John Dramani Mahama
and our members of Parliament hopefully in all the five constituencies
in mamprugu, there are those who are preparing to divide us-the spin
masters, the negative peddlers who embrace the politics of "anything
goes". We will say to them that in this election- out of many, we are
one;that while we breath, we hope and where we are met with cynicism,
doubt and who tell us that we cannot, we will respond with our slogan
JM zang-tugi for changing lives and transforming Ghana.
I shall return!!!
