NPP to replace SADA with Northern Development Authority
The opposition New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) vice
Presidential candidate, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu
Bawumia, has revealed the party’s agenda to
replace the Savannah Accelerated Development
Authority (SADA) with the Northern Development
Authority (NDA).

According to him, the mismanagement and negative
image associated with SADA, warrants its
replacement to make it serve the purpose for its
establishment.

Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia dropped the hint at
the party’s Northern Regional rally in Tamale.

He estimated that, the would-be Northern
Development Authority, could bridge the
developmental disparities between the Savannah
ecological zone and southern Ghana.

“We will have the Northern Development Authority
and you will see a major transformation. SADA will
be replaced by the Northern Development Authority
and you will see a major transformation. The
akonfem (Guinea Foul), will no longer have to fly
to Burkina Faso”

Dr. Bawumia remained defiant on his description of
President John Dramani Mahama as an incompetent
Ghanaian leader.

“It doesn’t matter which region you are from.
All the other regions do not want an incompetent
government and why should the Northern Region want
an incompetent government under President
Mahama.”

He accused the Mahama-Amissah Arthur led National
Democratic Congress (NDC) administration of
inflicting untold hardships on the citizens.

“President Mahama has collapsed all pro poor
government programmes introduced by the previous
NPP administration.”

Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia thereby underscored
the need for the electorate to kick President
Mahama and the NDC out of office on December 7.

He admonished the electorate to wisely vote for
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo and the NPP to make
Ghana work again.

“We want change because we want a government of
integrity, a government that can deliver the goods
for us, a government that can reduce our
suffering, a government that can think far, a
government with vision and that is the government
of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo and we will
transform the economy under Nana Akufo Addo.”

A leading member of the NPP national campaign
team, Alan John Kwadwo Kyeremanteng, promised that
the next NPP government under Nana Akufo Addo’s
watch will establish groundnut and sugar
processing factories in Northern Ghana.

The former Trade and Industry Minister said all 26
districts in Northern Region will get one factory
each. He pleaded with the electorate to give the
NPP the mandate to deliver on all its manifesto
pledges.

He said Nana Akufo Addo and the NPP will support
small scale industries to serve as the engine of
growth.

Deputy Minority leader and Member of Parliament
for the Bimbila Constituency, Hon. Dominick
Nitiwul, unveiled the NPP’s plan to build
military and police hospitals in Tamale.

He promised that the next NPP administration will
increase security personnels’ minimum wage to 35
Dollars a day.

He however challenged the law enforcement agencies
to deepen their neutrality especially before,
during and after the December 7 polls.

Hon. Dominic Nitiwul assured Nana Akufo Addo that
the Northern will deliver 15 or 18 Parliamentary
seats on December 7.

Other speakers including the NPP Acting General
Secretary, John Boadu, the National youth
Organizer, Sammy Awuku, the national Nasara
Coordinator, Kamaldeen Abdullah, the national
women’s Organizer, Otiko Afisah Djabah, Nana
Addo’s Spokesperson, Mustapha Hamid, a former
Northern Regional Minister, Prince Imoro Andani
and a former Minister for women and children
affairs, Hajia Alima Mahama, and an aide to Nana
Addo, Lawyer Samuel Abu Jinapor, explained why
President Mahama does not deserve renewal of his
mandate.

They inspired all party loyalists to serve as
agents of change in their localities. They also
encouraged the party’s voter population to
remain at the polling stations and protect the
ballots after exercising their franchise.

The NPP Presidential nominee, Nana Akufo-Addo
introduced the party’s 31 Parliamentary
candidates in the region, and called on the
electorate to massively vote for them.
