The leadership and membership of the NPP Identifiable Groups in the Kumasi Central Market, Kejetia, and the Race Course have reiterated their appeal to the delegates of the party to vote for the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in the presidential primary tomorrow Saturday November 4, 2023.
The Chairman of the Identifiable Groups, comprising 26 market trading groupings,
Elder Emmanuel Gyeke, said while addressing a press conference in Kumasi yesterday, that the Vice President had helped Nana Akufo-Addo in diverse ways, and that his achievements as a Vice President had complemented national efforts of the current administration in rolling out social interventions, programmes and policies for the benefit of Ghanaians.
“The achievements of Dr. Bawumia are unprecedented and [he] must be elected on Saturday to enable the NPP break the 8 years jinx,” Elder Gyeke stressed.
According to Elder Gyekye, the good policies of Nana Akufo-Addo need to be continued under another New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration, and that Dr. Bawumia, who had the wherewithal to salvage the economy and sustain Nana Akufo-Addo’s legacy, must be voted to lead the party into the 2024 elections, and ultimately become the President of Ghana in 2025.
Hajia Hawa, Women’s Organiser of the group, assured that once Dr. Bawumia had the nod of the delegates, the traders would vigorously campaign for the Vice President in his bid to assume the Presidency.
She advised that Dr. Bawumia should not be discriminated against on tribal lines, and believed he would not disappoint Ghanaians, and called for massive support for the Vice President to lead the NPP.
Nana Yaa Dufie, a queen at the Kejetia Market, emphasised that Dr. Bawumia had the potential to succeed Nana Akufo-Addo and help unite the party, and develop the country as a whole.
She said Nana Akufo-Addo’s legacy must be protected and sustained, and that it takes only Dr. Bawumia to undertake such a yeoman’s job, for which reason the delegates must consider electing the Vice President to make his day. “Saturday, November 4, 2023, must surely be Dr. Bawumia’s day,” she pleaded.
