Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you well and in good spirits.  First and foremost, I would like to extend my warm greetings to you and again commend you on your show of leadership to unite the rank and file of the New Patriotic Party toward the agenda of Breaking the 8.  Sir, I seek your keen attention to this issue being addressed in this letter. A few months after the executive assumed office, one of the pressing issues faced by the party was the revenues accrued to the party. After several assessments led by your good self and your able executives identified non-payment of dues by members as the root cause and hence propelled a cogent solution by implementing the dues system to mitigate this problem. To the best of my knowledge, I understand that the main motive behind this dues payment was to make the party financially dependent and again enable the party to eliminate the “Y3n Nya Hwee” syndrome which is causing a lot of apathy within the party through the dues payment ...

   27.05.24 Exactly two years ago, the newly elected regional executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Savannah Region were elected into office. Since then, their performance has been extraordinarily phenomenal in advancing the cause of our beloved elephant family. One key office that drives the regional party is the office of the secretary. The role of the regional secretary is pivotal to the effective administration of the party in the region. As such, the selection process for this position is always conducted meticulously. Fortunately, the good delegates of the Savannah Region chose a gentleman of remarkable integrity, resilience, and competence. Over the last two years, he and his dedicated team have worked tirelessly to transform the NPP into an organization that appeals broadly, offers abundant opportunities, and is ready for battle this year. Despite his busy schedules as an academic and researcher at one of the nation’s prestigious universities, he has ensur...

  Director of Communications for the Campaign Team of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President and Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has admonished Ghanaians to stay awake and not fall for the antics, lies, and propaganda of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2024 general elections. At the maiden edition of the Bawumia Campaign Team’s interactions with the Ghanaian electorate dubbed The Next Chapter Series, the affable communicator reminded Ghanaians of the old tricks of the opposition party and cautioned the electorate not to swallow the lies of the NDC hook, line and sinker. ‘’The lies and propaganda being churned out today by the NDC were similar to what they peddled against the NPP in the run-up to the 2008 presidential elections. They took advantage of the economic situation around that time and told lies to Ghanaians, and that is how come they won the 2008 elections’’ he stated. He continued; ‘’The few cha...

  Hon. Garlus,  former Member of parliament for Damongo constituency and the parliamentary candidate for the NDC in Damongo agents at the Voter Registration Centers is challenging all Fulanis at the ongoing voter ID registration in the Damongo Constituency. The agents representing the NDC and the Former MP for Damongo constituency Hon. Garlus has sparked controversy after it is alleged that they have been ordered to challenge all Fulanis who showed up at the ongoing voter registration in the Damongo constituency. The move has been condemned as discrimination and ethnocentric by various groups and individuals within the constituency. Eyewitnesses at the registration center reported that agents of Hon. Garlus were specifically targeting individuals of Fulani descent, demanding extra documentation and questioning their eligibility to register. This has led to heated arguments and tensions at the center, with many accusing the former MP of trying to disenfranchise a particular eth...

In a disturbing incident, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Daboya vandalized the campaign banners of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate, Hon. Samuel Tika Yeyu, and presidential candidate,  H. E Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. This senseless act of destruction has sparked widespread condemnation from the NPP, and the people of Daboya/Mankarigu. This act signified their sense of frustration and looming defeat as a result of the candidature of Hon. Samuel Tika Yeyu and Dr. Bawumia, which also affirms our slogan of "breaking the 8" and retaining the DMC seat. A political party with a clear policy and message would never resort to such tactics, as it undermines the very fabric of democracy and peaceful coexistence. The NDC's actions not only violate the rights of their political opponents but also threaten the harmony and unity that the people of Daboya/Mankarigu have worked so hard to maintain. The Dream Patriots and the NPP in Daboya/Mankarigu strongly cond...

Just some few days ago, it came to public attention that the former Member of Parliament and current parliamentary candidate for the NDC in Damongo has made alarming statements regarding voter registration. He declared that the NDC would physically prevent potential voters from registering if they (the NDC) deemed them unqualified. Despite repeated warnings and appeals from stakeholders advising the NDC against such illegal actions, the party appears to be ignoring these calls for a lawful and smooth registration process in Damongo. Following the directives of their parliamentary candidate, the NDC has started targeting members of the Fulbe community, preventing them from accessing registration centers. This blatant discrimination has prompted the leadership of the Fulbe community to appeal to the NDC. However, the NDC has continued to flagrantly violate the constitutional rights of these individuals. On the most widely listened to radio station in the Savannah Region, the Fulbe commun...

 The former Member of Parliament for the Damongo constituency Adam Mutawakilu Gallus on Wednesday was accused by the Secretary for the New patriotic party in Savannah Mr. Kadir Abdul Rahman through a press briefing. The constituency chief scribe openly alleged that the former MP visited one of the registration centres in Damongo and exhibited a violent behavior that led to exchanging words with the Police men on duty there. Today, Thursday on the Savannah Nde(This is Savannah) super morning show on the widely listened to radio station in Savannah Region the former MP is on record to have accepted the fact that he indeed exchanged words with police officers on duty there and also arrogantly repeated the assertion that he doesn't trust the Ghana Police Service to discharge their duties professionally. The MP on same platform openly agreed that it's because they don't trust the Ghana Police Service and the law that's why they're not going by the law. He made this claim...

  The Regional Secretary of the New Patriotic Party in Savannah Region, Mohammed Issah has accused slay queens of choosing to exploit Gonjaland issues, leveraging tribal sentiments to bolster support for former president John Mahama, the presidential candidate of the opposing National Democratic Congress (NDC). This dangerous tactic not only risks creating tensions but also distracts from the substantive issues that should drive political discourse. The Regional Secretary of the New Patriotic Party in Savannah Region made this allegation when he went on Facebook with a live video session for about an hour to respond to unfounded allegations and peddled falsehood on the person of he the secretary, the regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party in Savannah Region Professor Kalamonia and the Member of Parliament for Damongo constituency cum Minister for Land and Natural resources on the issue of Gonjaland politics, matters arising from the one year anniversary and the 48th GLYA con...

In recent times, there has been a flurry of misinformation circulating regarding an alleged incident involving President Nana Akufo-Addo and the Yagbonwura at the 1-year anniversary of the Overlord of Gonjaland, Yagbonwura Bii Kunuto Jewu Soale I which coincides with the Gonjaland Youth Association (GLYA) 48th congress. It is imperative to set the record straight and dispel any misconceptions surrounding this matter. Contrary to reports, the venerable Member of Parliament for the Damongo constituency cum the Minister for Lands and Natural Resoources and a darling boy of President Akufo-Addo who led the president to exchange pleasantries at the event has sated emphatically in an interview he granted that at no point in time at the occasion was the Yagbonwura ordered to stand up and greet he the president. Such claims are not only baseless but also undermine the dignity of both the President and the Yagbonwura, as well as the traditional customs they uphold. The Yagbonwura, like many tra...

For over four decades, the people of Gonjaland yearned for recognition—a region to call their own. Amidst struggles for representation and development, traditional leaders found themselves battling low membership in the Northern Regional House of Chiefs, impeding their ability to advocate effectively for their communities. Resource allocation remained disproportionately low, leaving the region stagnant despite its vast potential. Then, a glimmer of hope emerged with the ascension of His Excellency Nana Addo as president. In a decisive move, he granted the long-awaited wish, establishing the Savannah region. This watershed moment marked a turning point in the region's history, promising newfound opportunities for progress and prosperity. As President Nana Addo approaches the end of his tenure, the Gonjaland Youth Association (GLSA) faces a crucial question: Should they celebrate his transformative actions? After all, under his leadership, traditional leaders gained national recognit...
