Citi\u00a0 News<\/strong> interview in Nalerigu, the former Minister for Women and Children’s Affairs, described President Mahama’s call as an act of desperation and implored her kinsmen to massively vote the NPP at the\u00a0polls.<\/p>\n[contextly_sidebar id=”NmzakrCGObX4sw4nnbsy6di1OHZPqi5m”]As a former Member of Parliament for the Gambaga\/Nalerigu Constituency who has staged a comeback in the parliamentary race, Hajia Alima asserted that President Mahama has failed the people of Mamprugu land.<\/p>\n
She said a Nana Addo\/Bawumia government will transform the Mamprugu land to an appreciable level as demonstrated by the erstwhile Kufour led NPP administration.<\/p>\n
She added that, Ghanaians are fed up with President Mahama’s political rhetoric and will kick him out at the polls.<\/p>\n
She is optimistic the NPP will win the 2016 elections with overwhelming parliamentary majority with or without a credible voters’ register.<\/p>\n
We’II resist manipulation of election results – Hajia Alima<\/strong><\/p>\nShe nonetheless cautioned the Electoral Commission against any attempt to skew the register in favour of the governing NDC.\u00a0She served notice that the NPP will resist any calculated\u00a0 attempt to manipulate the election results.<\/p>\n
Hajia Alima insisted that, the EC must demonstrate fairness and neutrality in all processes leading to the elections.\u00a0She vowed to wrestle the seat from the NDC to accomplish her unfinished agenda in the constituency.<\/p>\n
According to her, women empowerment and girl child education which she started as a former MP are part of her priority areas.<\/p>\n
She is in the race with her direct cousin on the ticket of the NDC called Alhaji Baba Issifu.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Coalition of Mamprugu Constituency Executives of the NPP in a statement copied Citi News<\/strong>,\u00a0condemned President Mahama for attempting to denigrate Dr. Alhaji Mahamadu Bawumia.<\/p>\nThe statement signed by the Walewale Constituency NPP Secretary, Simon Ali, cautioned President Mahama against tribal politics.<\/p>\n
Below is the full statement<\/strong><\/p>\nSTOP THE DIRTY TRIBAL POLITICS AGAINST BAWUMIA……….The coalition of Mamprugu constituency Executive of the New Patriotic Party’s attention has been drawn to news headline on the 13th July 2016 edition of citifmonline.com ‘ Ignore Bawumia and vote for me’….John Mahama. The coalition wishes to state\u00a0 that, the people\u00a0 of mamprugu are decending and well informed people who not vote on tribal lines but on achievements of governments and on various policies and programmes of political parties. The people mamprugu vote on major developmental indicators such as 1. Improvement on their road infrastructure. 2. Access to health care. 3. Provision\u00a0 of safe portable drinking water. 4. Improvement in agriculture especially the cotton industry which has died a natural death as all the cotton gineries have now turned to worshipping centres. We are by this statement calling in the president to invest his energies in revamping the collapsed Agro processing factories such as the Zuwaringu meat factory,\u00a0 the Kparigu tomatoes factory, the cotton gineries in Tumu, Tamale and Bolgatanga, the Sheanut processing factory in buipe to help bridge the developmental gap between\u00a0 the North and the south and stop the dirty tribal politics crusade is waging in the north.<\/p>\n
