What kind of a politician are you? – Sissala chiefs wonder as Bawumia fulfils promise

The Chiefs and people of the three traditional areas in the Sissala West District of the Upper West Region showered praise on Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for promptly fulfilling a promise to provide a pickup vehicle to the only senior high school in the district.

The NPP flagbearer pledged to provide the vehicle to the Hilla Limann Senior High School in response to a request by the late Paramount Chief of Gwollu, Kuri-Biktie Limann IV. Dr. Bawumia made the pledge when he led a government delegation to the late Gwollu overlord’s funeral at Gwollu.

Less than a month after the pledge, Dr. Bawumia, on Thursday, July 25, 2024, handed over the keys to a brand new Nissan Navarra 4×4 pickup to the authorities of the school at the Gwollu Palace, Gwollu.

Reading a speech on behalf of his fellow Paramount Chiefs of Zini, Gwollu, and Pulima, Kuoru Osman Deiwia Nankpa III, Paramount Chief of Pulima, expressed surprise at the speed with which Dr. Bawumia had fulfilled his pledge.

“Your recent pledge to grant the request of our late father and colleague, late Kuoru Kuri Buktie Limann, to get a bus and a pickup for the Dr. Hilla Limann Senior High School is a testament to your government’s and personal commitment to groom quality human resources for the benefit of our country.

“So let me be fulsome on behalf of the Chiefs and people of our land, in showing our profound gratitude for such meaningful interventions. I have gathered from very reliable sources that what you told us at this same ground, barely a fortnight ago about making the pickup available, is most likely to come to fruition today.

“I ask on behalf of our people, ‘What kind of a politician is this?’. You promised and you delivered. We are deeply touched and express the same here with elation,” Kuoru Deiwia Nankpa stated.
