Evidence Based Facts: Mamprusis Not Neglected By The Ruling Government

President John Dramani Mahama

The NPP fraternity has resort to yet another strategy to deceive well-meaning Ghanaian's that mamprusis are sidelined by the ruling National Democratic Congress. This is a calculated attempt to make the NDC unpopular by the good people of mamprugu. Before I proceed I will like to school the so called intellectuals the meaning of neglect even though they claimed to know better than anybody who belongs to a different political party meanwhile common neglect they cannot define.

Neglect is failure to look after someone or something properly or to pay little attention to something. On this note are our opponents saying government has failed to look after the mamprusis or pays little attention to us? I will like them to come out and say the gospel truth on what they want the government to do for the good people of mamprugu of which the government has not done.Better still in what context are they saying that government has neglected mamprusis?

As it is obvious to every patriotic Ghanaian that NPP is the architect of political vilification and lies. We should therefore treat this with all the contempt it deserves. What they are saying is to put dust into our eyes for their own chip polical gains. They want to take us for granted for their own parochial interest.Npp has nothing better to offer mamprugu and Ghana at large.

It is high time the so called NPP in mamprugu comes back to their senses and call a spade a spade but not a big spoon. In fact it is on records that the ruling government has involved mamprusis in the administration of the country than the kufour led administration. Mamprusis are always remembered by the NDC government be it development or government appointees.

We are proud as a matter of fact to have the personalities below who have served and continue to serve mother Ghana within the current administration.

The current chairman of the Hajj commission Alhaji Ibrahim Abdul Rauf Tanko who doubles as the parliamentary candidate for YAGABA-KUBORI constituency was appointed by his Excellency the president of the republic of Ghana John Dramani Mahama.

Hon.Stephen Sumani Nayina was appointed as the northern regional minister from 2009-2011 by the late president John Evans Fifi Atta Mills.

Hon. Nansamu Asabge was the deputy northern regional minister before his subsequent appointment as Ghana ambassador to Burkina Faso.

Hon. Dr.Sugri Tia the member of Parliament for gambaga-nalerigu constituency has occupied the ministry of food and agriculture, heath as deputy and now a deputy minister of housing and resources all within this administration.

NAA Abdulai Mandiaya Bawumia, the Paramount chief of Kperiga traditional area who is the elder brother of Dr.Mahamudu Bawumia was the Ghana ambassador to Burkina Faso before his subsequent appointment as the Ghana ambassador to Cameron.

Hajia Gariba Boyah is the current deputy Ghana ambassador to Saudi Arabia.

The latest appointment is the current northern regional minister and member of Parliament hopefully for walewale constituency, Hon. Abdallah Abubakari whose appointment was been referred to by the myopic and narrow minded individuals in the NPP fraternity as a token given to mamprusis by the president to retain power in the upcoming December 7th general elections.

All the above mentioned personalities are of mamprugu origin unless our opponents want to say that they are not mamprusis per their definition of a mamprusi. My dear readers, what really shows that mamprusis are neglected or sidelined by the ruling government?

So far, 5 mamprusis have served in 10 appointments in the NDC administration as against 2 in the NPP reign. Hajia Alima Mahama and Hon. Ben Bukari Salifu were the only appointees in the kufour led administration. The question is which government has neglected the mamprusis? Is it the NDC or the NPP? I anticipate that an affirmative answer be return to these questions by the so called indigenous mamprusis within the NPP.

Theodore Rosovelt of blessed memory once said about the man in the arena that "whose face is marred by dust, sweat, and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings but who does actually strive to do the deed, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who

spreads himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the triumph of high achievements and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly" . On this note mamprusis have chosen reality over falls promises.

I shall return with more testimony to the good works of his Excellency Wumpini John Dramani Mahama to the good people of mamprugu.
