The Overlord of Dagbon, Yaa Naa Abukari II, has told former Vice President and 2024 NPP Presidential Candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia that failing to win the Presidency on his first attempt is not the end of the quest to serve the country as President.
Welcoming Dr Bawumia to his palace in Yendi during the NPP’s ‘Thank You Tour’ of the Northern Region, the Yaa Naa said Dr Bawumia only lost “a battle” and not “the war”, urging Dr Bawumia to take inspiration from historic comeback stories of presidential candidates.
“Your electoral loss is a battle lost but not the war to lead the development of our dear nation,” the Yaa Naa said, citing President Mahama’s defeat twice in 2016 and 2020, before emerging victorious in 2024.
“This is only your first attempt, and there are several chances ahead. All that we need is to pray for a longer life and good health. May Allah continue to guide and guard you in all your endeavours.”
The Yaa Naa, while acknowledging the contributions of Dr. Bawumia to the nation as Vice President, also urged him to continue to have the nation at heart and be optimistic about the future.
“We recognise your contributions to Ghana’s development, particularly in digitalisation and economic modernisation initiatives during your tenure as Vice President.”
“With determined efforts, you spearheaded several transformative projects, including Ghana’s digital addressing system and mobile money interoperability. All these have not gone unnoticed, and Ghanaians are grateful for your efforts.”
“So I entreat you to still have the interest of this country at heart and not despair prematurely.”
Dr Bawumia expressed gratitude to the Yaa Naa for his continuous support and advice.
