Paramount Chief Of Yeji Urges NPP

To Continue Sticking To Issues That Matter Most To Ghanaians

The Paramount Chief of the Yeji Traditional Area, Nana Yaw Kaburese V has urged the New Patriotic Party and especially its running mate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to continue to stick to issues that matter most to Ghanaians, admonishing that this would endear the party and its Presidential ticket to the people of Ghana in the upcoming December general elections.

Nana Kaburese V made these comments when running mate to Nana Akufo-Addo, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia paid a courtesy call on the chief on Thursday evening.

Speaking to Dr. Bawumia and his team, Nana Kaburese V said, “the constitution urges us chiefs not to do politics, we have accepted that. Just like all other parties, the town, Yeji is for you NPP. Our prayer is that God should guide you and protect you and give you the wisdom to endear yourselves to the people of Ghana by selling to them, your message of hope, which would ensure that the good people of Ghana elect you come the elections. That is what we are all looking forward to. We would not be partisan but we are ready to work with all parties and governments that would work in the interest of our people”

“Your presence at my palace this evening and the grace you came with truly demonstrates that you part of the leadership of a great party. Dr., this town is yours just like mine. You are free to come here any day any time to sell you message to the people. I welcome you to Yeji on behalf of all my subjects and people”, Nana Kaburese V added.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on behalf of the NPP thanked the paramount chief of Yeji for opening the doors of Yeji to the party to allow the party sell its message of hope and transformation of the Ghanaian economy and most importantly, the free education promise to the people.

He indicated that the NPP as a true national party was ready to traverse the length and breadth of the country to sell its positive message to the people of Ghana and hoped that the Chiefs and people of Yeji would, come election day, turn out in their numbers to massively endorse the NPP’s transformation agenda.

Nana Kaburese V took the opportunity of Dr. Bawumia’s presence to welcome Dr. Bawumia and the Presidential candidate of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo to the town’s major festival slated for the last week of November.
