Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the Vice Presidential Candidate for the NPP, has urged the residents of Gonjaland to support a political party that has demonstrated a superior commitment to their development.
He asserted that the fundamental purpose of democracy is to foster development, thus it is essential for voters to choose leaders who prioritize their developmental aspirations.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh highlighted that, in the context of Ghana, no political party rivals the NPP in terms of developmental achievements. He noted that the NPP has not only initiated the most extensive social intervention programs in the country’s history but has also executed a greater number of developmental projects nationwide, including in Gonjaland, than any other administration.
These comments were made during his visit to the Overlord of Gonjaland, Yagbonwura Bikunuto Jewu Soale I, at the Ndewura Jakpa Palace in Damango on Thursday, 7th November 2024, as part of his campaign efforts focused on the Northern Region. Affectionately known as NAPO, he emphasized:
Since politics is all about development, the politician who is not your son but gives you development and attends to your needs is the one you should vote for. He deserves your vote more than even your son who does not give you development.
He referenced the establishment of the Savanna Region for Gonjaland by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration as a significant reason for the residents of Gonjaland to support the NPP in the upcoming elections.
He asserted that the formation of the Savanna Region has facilitated numerous developmental initiatives within the area. He emphasized that the NPP has not yet received electoral recognition from the people of Gonjaland for the creation of the Savanna Region, a demand that the Chiefs and community members had pursued for over four decades.
Your son [John Mahama] who hails from here could not meet this legitimate demand of yours when he was President despite promising to do same. It had to take President Akufo-Addo who hails from Eastern Region to grant your demands. The person who helps you to develop is your brother, not the person who your mother gave birth to.
