Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the Vice Presidential Candidate of the NPP has appealed to the people of Gonjaland to vote for a political party that has a better record of providing them development.
According to him, the true essence of democracy is to achieve development, and therefore, it is incumbent for voters to elect political leaders who prioritize their development needs.
Dr. Prempeh emphasized that in Ghana no political party comes close to the NPP when it comes to matters of development.
The NPP government, he said, has not only implemented the most social intervention programmes in the nation’s history, but has also delivered more developmental projects in every part of the country, including Gonjaland than any government.
He made these remarks when he paid a courtesy call on 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 constituency focused campaign tours of the Northern Region.
Napo, as he is affectionately called, stressed that “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 cited the creation of the Savanna Region for Gonjaland by the NPP government as one of the many reasons why the people of Gonjaland should vote for the NPP.
According to him, the creation of the Savanna region has paved way for many developmental projects to be undertaken in the region which has, indeed, happened.
The NPP, he said, is yet to be rewarded electorally by the people of Gonjaland, for the creation of the Savanna region, which the chiefs and people had clamored for, for over 40 years.
“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”, he remarked.
