Sammi Awuku
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Akuapem North in the Eastern Region, Sammi Awuku, has urged party members to work hard for the victory of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s flagbearer, in this year’s general election.
Mr. Awuku, who also serves as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), made the remarks at the weekend’s inauguration of the 2024 NPP Campaign Team for the Akuapem North and South Constituencies in Kwamoso.
He called on the campaign team members to put in a lot of effort and push themselves beyond their comfort zones in order to win the general election, acknowledging that it would not be an easy task for the NPP to ‘break the eight’.
“The NPP is going to win the 2024 General Election with a strategy.
“Akuapem North and Akuapem South, we need to move beyond our comfort zone. Let’s embark upon a house to house and room to room campaign, to canvas for votes needed to win the December elections,” he stressed.
Sammi Awuku asked the campaign team members to work together to attain the aim. He said that available data shows that the NDC falls far behind the NPP in many sectors in terms of performance in government.
According to him, the party has made significant contributions to the people of the Eastern Region through development projects, and pleaded with party members not to disappoint the presidential candidate.
Dr. Bawumia, according to the MP aspirant, has the qualifications to be Ghana’s leader, unlike his opponent, John Dramani Mahama, who has nothing to show after serving as an Assembly Member, MP, Deputy Minister, Minister, Vice President, and President of the Republic.
He urged Ghanaians to vote overwhelmingly for Dr. Bawumia, to usher in a new age of development in the country.
The event was attended by Seth Acheampong, Eastern Regional Minister; Osei Bonsu Amoah, Minister of State at the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development; MP for Akuapem South, and Deputy Campaign Manager for the Bawumia 2024 Campaign, Haruna Mohammed; Deputy General Secretary, and the NPP’s regional executives.
Managing Director of Ghana Airport Company, Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare; CEO of the Minerals Income and Investment Fund, Nana Yaw Koranteng; CEO of the Ghana Shippers Authority, Kwesi Baffour; Board Chairman of the National Petroleum Authority, Addo Yobo; parliamentary candidate for Akuapem South, Eric Yeboah Apeadu; MCEs for both Akuapem South and Akuapem North, Frank Aidoo and Barima Awuah Asiedu, and many others graced the event.
