‘Recognise former President, John Dramani Mahama as a brother and not an enemy’, the Overlord of Dagbon, Ya-Na Abubakari Mahama II has admonished Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The traditional ruler believes when the Vice President can recognise Mahama as his brother, it will ensure a clean campaign ahead of the 2024 general elections.
In a courtesy call by Dr. Bawumia, the Ya-Na emphasized that both the NPP and NDC flagbearers are his sons and that the winner of the general election will bring the title of President home to northern Ghana, making it a win for all northerners.
He made the call in a speech read on his behalf.
“We as Northerners have to be grateful to all Ghanaians for trusting that only a Northerner can lead Ghana after 2024. It is a big opportunity for us to demonstrate our capabilities, competence, honesty and dedication to moving Ghana forward.
“My son, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama who is also a son, is your fellow competitor in this election, he is not your enemy or rival.
“He is your elder brother and a former President of Ghana who is also being presented by the largest opposition party in our country to be re-elected as president.
“As northerners, we have already won the election with whoever we elect because whoever wins the trophy is coming home.”
The Ya-Na has urged the Vice President not to be deceived by his campaign team’s name-calling and insult-trapping tactics.
“I want you to run a clean campaign with your brother. You are a fine gentleman and everybody knows that, so don’t let your team mislead you, it is you that the good Lord has chosen because of what He has put in you and not your team.
“Your team is supposed to translate your thoughts and ideals including what all of you have agreed on into action and not the other way round. Your team works tirelessly for you because of what they have seen in you so don’t disappoint them.
“Lead them and don’t let them lead you else you have wasted all their efforts,” the Ya-Na said.
