The presidential candidate of the Democratic National Congress (NDC) has promised the chiefs and people of Bawku that the NDC administration will build an ultra-modern market for the area.
This, John Dramani Mahama said, would allow Bawku merchants to have a better place to do business.
Mr. Mahama made the pledge at a mini rally in Bawku, as part of his four-day campaign tour of the Upper East Region.
Former President Mahama urged the people of Bawku to vote en masse for him and for Mr. Mahama Ayariga, the NDC parliamentary candidate for Bawku Central in the December 7 elections for him to return to restore good policies to the NDC.
He recalled that in 2016 he made a promise to the people of Bawku that when the NDC won the election, they would build an ultra-modern district hospital for them, unfortunately they did not win the election.
“But I know that on December 7, NDC is going to win the election, and I make that promise again that we are going to build a new district hospital here in Bawku.
And when we say it, we mean it, because we’ve done it before. We have built hospitals before. “
He said that the NDC was returning to power to continue its national development agenda for Ghanaians, adding that it was only when the NDC was in government that Ghanaians witnessed monumental development across the country.
The NDC presidential candidate, therefore, called on Ghanaians to vote en masse for the NDC in the December 7 elections to return and continue the national development projects they started.
“There are many communities that we were connecting to the national electrification network, we did not finish before leaving the office. As soon as we left office, all of that stopped, ”he said.
“I promise you that NDC will go back to power and for all the communities that do not have electricity, we will come and provide them with electricity.
“When we were in office, we started building the Tamne Irrigation Dam, we didn’t finish before we left office. After we left, that project came to a halt, and that project was supposed to irrigate 3,000 hectares of land for irrigated agriculture in the dry season, ”he said.
Mahama said that when the NDC regains power, “we will build bigger irrigation dams in the agricultural districts.”
Before addressing the rally, the NDC presidential candidate also paid a courtesy visit to Zugraana Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II, Bawku Naba at his Bawku Palace to seek his blessing ahead of the December 7 elections.
