The Northern Regional executives of United Zongo for Bawumia has commended President Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party leaders for reappointing Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as running mate but is worried over some comments from National Democratic Congress General Secretary.
According to the group, Mr. Aseidu Nketia at the recent celebration of June 4th in Tamale, made some statements, ‘warning Dr. Bawumia to stop carrying himself as the next flag bearer of the NPP’.
United Zongo for Bawumia said the comment was unfortunate and unwarranted and
Reminded Asiedu Nketia that Dr. Bawumia is a Muslim before a politician and as Muslims, the Quran enjoins us to seek leadership from the Almighty God.
This was contained in a statement jointly signed by Alhaji Muazu Issaka Founder/President, Nana Arthur
Deputy National Communication officer, Nana Arthur, Northern Regional Communication Officer and Mohammed Abdul Karim OLIVER, Northern Regional Chairman.
The statement said” Dr. Bawumia will always seek the guidance of the Almighty God.
In this regard, Dr. Bawumia will always seek the guidance of the Almighty God before taking any step, especially leading a great party like the NPP.”
“He further mentioned; ‘it is impossible for Dr. Bawumia to be the flag bearer of the NPP’. A laughable claim is borne out of confusion, fear, and pessimism that continue to put the NDC backward. What has ever been possible to the NDC? National health insurance was impossible, Free Senior High School was impossible, even Teacher and Nurses Allowances were not possible under the NDC.
It beats our imagination and it’s the least of warnings we expected from Mr. Nketia at this time; especially when the NDC is struggling to find a match for Dr. Bawumia as a running mate to ‘the incompetent one.’’
It said,” it has been made clear that Mr. Asiedu Nketia expressed interest in the Running mate slot, but, he was disqualified for not meeting a quarter of the Bawumia’s standard they set for themselves is now giving a warning.”
