The Chiefs and people of Wechiau in the Wa West constituency of the Upper West Region have committed to supporting NPP candidates in the upcoming elections, recognizing the party’s ongoing dedication to the region’s development.
The Chiefs highlighted that NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s formal announcement of his presidential bid demonstrates his respect for traditional institutions, which they plan to acknowledge with their support.
Naa Imoru Nandon Gomah II, the Paramount Chief of Wechiau, made this promise during Dr. Bawumia’s visit to his palace on Monday, July 22, 2024.
Dr. Bawumia was in Wechiau as part of his nationwide campaign tour, engaging with traditional leaders, religious figures, the youth, and other community members to outline his vision for Ghana’s future.
Highlighting the numerous benefits the Traditional Area has received under NPP administrations, Naa Gomah II expressed gratitude to both past and present NPP governments.
“Your Excellency, NPP Government since 2004 has given us a lot of developmental projects. The Wa West District was created by the NPP Government in 2004. The NPP Government has given us the biggest project, that is the Agenda 111 hospital project. The NPP government has also given us some dams and dugouts under One Village One Dam. The district has also received some roads. We have also benefitted from the Free Senior High School programme, as well as the School Feeding programme,” he stated.
The Paramount Chief of Wechiau pronounced his blessings on Dr Bawumia as he seeks to lead the nation, saying “As Chiefs, we can assure you of our support to enable you continue the good works of the New Patriotic Party Government after 7th December, 2024. We wish you God’s blessings and protection.”
Thanking the Chiefs for their support, Dr Bawumia urged the people of the Wa West Constituency give him and the NPP the opportunity to build upon the gains made so far adding, “My vision for Ghana’s future will see us, among others, train our children for the future and equip our youth with the requisite skills to create jobs and compete favourably with their contemporaries across the world.”
