The Deputy Western Regional Women Organiser of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Magdalene Araba Tagoe, has charged the three northern regions to vote en bloc for President John Dramani Mahama.
According to her, considering the glory the President has bought to the north, the only way to thank him (Mahama) is to vote massively to retain him in office.
She contends that the President has not only brought unprecedented development to the three northern regions since he was elected, but has demonstrated that something good could come from the north.
Speaking in an interview with The Chronicle, Madam Araba Tagoe disagreed with the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) vice presidential candidate that the sitting President, a northerner, has brought embarrassment to the three northern regions.
It would be recalled that the NPP presidential running mate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in one of his campaign tours of the three northern regions, chided the sitting President for embarrassing the northern regions, having sat down unconcerned whilst the three regions continue to wallow in poverty amongst others.
But Madam Araba Tagoe, in a sharp response, believes the NPP running mate was being economical with the truth, and that he was rather preaching the opposite. Madam ArabaTagoe urged Dr. Bawumia to do a clean campaign, devoid of insults and personal attacks.
Her reason is that preaching propaganda would not earn him (Bawumia) and his party a vote, since every northerner knows the competence of President John Mahama.
