The Mamprugu Zaabuni Youth for Development, a prominent advocacy group in the Mamprugu traditional area, has officially announced its endorsement of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President and flagbearer of the NewPatriotic Party, in the upcoming December 7th presidential elections.
During the group’s Congress held at Walewale in the North East Region, Mr. Musah Abdul Basit, the President of the group, passionately urged the youth in the area to actively contribute to Dr. Bawumia’s victory.
“We encourage the youth of Mamprugu to wholeheartedly support one of our own for the presidency, regardless of political affiliations. If a similar opportunity arises from another political party in the future, Zaabuni will not hesitate to offer maximum support,” remarked Mr. Basit.
The Congress served as a platform to assess the region’s development and reinforce the group’s commitment to advocating for improved opportunities. The event carried the theme “Rekindling the Glory of Mamprugu; Our Collective Responsibility.”
Highlighting Dr. Bawumia’s impactful contributions across Mamprugu, the group emphasized the need for the youth to strive for his electoral success, making history for Mamprugu land.
Mr. Basit cited achievements such as the extension of electricity to numerous communities and the construction of sports facilities as notable government projects in the area.
He expressed the Mamprugu traditional area’s satisfaction with having its own region.
Operating for approximately eight years, the group has actively engaged in community service, including assisting the needy by covering medical bills and school fees for residents.
The group had previously appealed to the Vice President for the construction of a bridge connecting Arigu to the Shiling community.
As the special guest at the Congress, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia highlighted several developmental projects in the area.
These included the establishment of the STEM Senior High School at Kpasenkpe, the Fire Service Training School at Wungu, and the ongoing construction of Walewale, Nalerigu, and Gambaga town roads.
Dr. Bawumia assured that efforts were underway to complete the Misio bridge to enhance transportation, and he highlighted the ongoing benefits of the Agenda 111 hospital projects for all districts in the region.
