W/N/R : NO PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATE ON THE TICKET OF NPP IN WESTERN NORTH CAN SAVE THE NPP PARTY - THE CASE OF FESTUS BUMAGAMA AGYAPONG OF SEFWI WIAWSO CONSTITUENCY.

W/N/R : NO PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATE ON THE TICKET OF NPP IN WESTERN NORTH CAN SAVE THE NPP PARTY - THE CASE OF FESTUS BUMAGAMA AGYAPONG OF SEFWI WIAWSO CONSTITUENCY.

I wish to, on behalf of the National Democratic Congress - Western North, congratulate the NPP for emulating the NDC by completing their parliamentary election across the region. Though the process was not devoid of cash inducement, they still deserve some commendation for consolidating our democracy, which has stood the test of time since its introduction by the NDC.

Interestingly, the NPP party seems to be reinvigorated by electing their parliamentary candidates in the region. This is indeed surprising and laughable. It is instructive to know that at least two of the candidates are very much known for their incompetence, arrogance and being contributors of our woes as a country particular of us in the Western North region. To be blunt, we all know that the Honorables Alex Tetteh and Alfred Obeng Boateng have a well-known reputation for their incompetence, arrogance, and contribution to our country's woes in the Western North region.

For this piece, my focus will be on Sefwi Wiawso Constituency, which has my brother and friend, Festus Bumagama Agyapong, as the NPP candidate. 

Prior to electing Festus, the NPP touted him to be the Messiah, who, by extension and implication, will deliver the people of Sefwi Wiawso. This I find interesting because the very constituency for which he is coming save is under the superintendence of both an NPP MP and MCE. 

Does this proposition suggest these duos have failed? If not, why then will they require a Messiah from the same party to save us? Anyway, this I believe should be the problem of the NPP to solve and not ours to even proffer solution.

It is imperative to note that Festus Bumagama Agyapong has been a member of the NPP, which qualified him to contest as a parliamentary candidate. This revelation also suggests that Festus Bumagama Agyapong, as a member of the NPP, aligns with the ideals, policies, and programs of the Nana Addo - Bawumia government, which have left the people of Sefwi Wiawso living penurious lives. 

In fact Festus Agyapong has been to support the sale of fertilizer to farmers, increase in fuel prices, e-levy, covid levy, communication service tax increment, vat increment and the likes which have made life difficult for the Ghanaian particular those of the Western North which include Sefwi Wiawso which he seeks to lead.

For Festus to epitomize that he indeed is for the people, he must first declare he has not been to support the draconian economic policies which have impoverished and detonated the lives of the people of Sefwi Wiawso. He indeed can’t purge himself of the wrongdoings meted out to the people.

In view of this glaring act, I posit with no equivocation that Festus Bumagama Agyapong will only add to the woes of the people if we dare make a mistake by voting for him.

I humbly employ the good people of Sefwi Wiawso to reject NPP in its entirety and have believe in Kofi Afful Benteh to be the Messiah that the NPP has been calling for.

A vote for both President Mahama and Kofi Afful Benteh will ensure the acceleration of development Sefwi Wiawso desires.

Long live Sefwi Wiawso!

Long live Western North Region!
