The man who has been one of the bank rollers of the NPP in the region and the youngest among the aspirants is seen in the race as a heavy weight and an unbeaten candidate.

The goodwill he is enjoying from the people is giving headache to other camps who are finding it very tough to even continue a clean campaign hence are resorting to character assassination and vile propaganda against him.

He has become the most popular and strategic politician in the region and that doesn’t look good for others especially the incumbent.

Speaking to some delegates, they indicated that it will be catastrophic if Mohammed Samba loses the bid since he remains the dependable financier of the party in the region.

Many people in the region liken him to the indefatigable Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Chairman Wuntumi.
