The Overlord of Mamprugu, Ndugna Nayiri Naa Bohugu Abdulai Sheriga, has expressed a strong belief in the ability of the Vice President and NPP Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to successfully make Ghana better as president.

The Nayiri, who is also the President of the North East Regional House of Chiefs, expressed confidence in the integrity of Dr. Bawumia to uphold the good name of Ghana as president.

"I am deeply persuaded that you have it in you to carry out the task ahead," said the Nayiri, in a speech read on his behalf at a meeting between Dr. Bawumia and the North East Regional House of Chiefs in Nalerigu on Monday, May 13.

"You can rise to the challenge and uphold the good name of Ghana, making her greater and stronger," the Nayiri added.

The Mamprugu Overlord also commended Dr. Bawumia for his impact as Vice President, as well as his contributions to the development of the community and the nation, assuring him of the people's support in his quest to be elected as president. "As we prepare for the election this year, the least we can do for you, as the son of the soil, is to honour you with the opportunity to serve at the highest echelon of state power."

"We shall not turn our back on you, especially having demonstrated competence, loyalty, resilience, and more importantly, regard for the institution of Chieftaincy."

Dr. Bawumia is in the northern part of Ghana, as part of his regional engagements with various stakeholders. Apart from meeting with members of the Regional House of Chiefs, the NPP flagbearer also meets with the clergy, Imams, Zongo Chiefs, and the youth.

Dr. Bawumia also goes down to the markets, to shops, on the streets, and from house to house, to interact with the people.
