 By Habib Mandeya Abukari       habibmandeya942@gmail.com For the dedication some of have in championing the cause of H. E Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the resistance by the some NDC fanatics has taken the form of relentless reporting of my Facebook account. But let me make one thing clear: reporting my account will not deter me from spreading the gospel of DMB. I will continue to share the good news until DMB is sworn in as the president of Ghana. It's a tactic as old as time. When faced with an opponent whose message resonates with the masses, some resort to underhanded strategies to silence them. They hide behind the anonymity of social media, thinking that by reporting accounts, they can stifle the voices advocating for change. This, however, is a futile attempt to quash my movement that is driven by conviction, hope, and the unwavering belief in a “The Next Chapter” for Ghana under the leadership of H. E Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. To those who have been reporting my account...

By    ADAMU YUSSIF ZOMNRA            0544735444           Concerned Youth Of Zongo.  Living all my life in Damongo-Zongo has been one of my greatest achievements. This isn't due to any material wealth or grandiose accomplishments, but because of the profound sense of community and friendship that permeates the area. The cordial relationships among the people of Damongo-Zongo have always been a source of pride and strength. However, in recent days, this sense of security and togetherness has been overshadowed by growing fear and panic. The cause? The severe lack of adequate road infrastructure in our community. Damongo-Zongo is one of the areas in Damongo without a single road connecting us to the main thoroughfares. This situation is not just appalling but also uncalled for, especially in this age where connectivity is crucial for the socio-economic development of any community. The absence of major roads ha...

By Habib Mandeya Abukari      habibmandeya942@gmail.com National Democratic Congress party colours We all heard the National Democratic Congress (NDC) state that the tape is originally 26 minutes long but has been reduced to 16 minutes for the purposes of the press conference. Yet, you maintain that the authenticity of the tape is beyond dispute? This stance raises serious questions about the party's approach to transparency and accuracy, especially in matters of public interest. When the full tape has not been presented and it has been selectively edited to only include parts deemed relevant by those releasing it, the integrity of the tape is compromised. Editing a tape in such a manner inherently alters the context and can skew the perception of the events or statements recorded. By presenting an edited version, you are not providing the complete picture, thereby misleading the audience and distorting the truth. Moreover, the claim of the tape's authenticity becomes que...

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 ...

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.

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...
