The President of the Kusaug Traditional Area, Bawku Naba, Zug-Raan Asigri Abugrago Azoka II, has expressed confidence that the people of Kusaug will reward the flagbearer of NDC John Dramani Mahama for his substantial contributions to the nation’s development.
In a speech read on his behalf, Bawku Naba commended Mr. Mahama for his generosity and visionary leadership.
“The numerous developmental projects that were initiated by the NDC under your leadership have left an indelible mark in Kusaug. It is my firm belief that the people of Kusaug will reward you adequately for your generosity and vision for our nation’s growth and prosperity,” he stated.
The Kusaug area comprises the constituencies of Zebilla, Binduri, Bawku, Pusiga, Garu, and Tempane.
“I am humbled by your second visit to my palace and Kusaug within a short period of time,” Bawku Naba remarked.
“This is a clear manifestation of your humility and love for the entire people of Kusaug. I therefore wish to warmly welcome you and your entourage to Kusaug. Feel at home as you tour Kusaug to garner their support and votes for the December 7th, 2024 Elections.”
He said this when the NDC flagbearer paid a courtesy call on him as he began his campaign tour of the Upper East region.
Bawku Naba also made specific requests for further development if Mahama is re-elected. He called for the prioritisation of infrastructure development in the kingdom, particularly the construction of a Government Hospital to serve as a major referral centre.
Additionally, he urged the elevation of the Savanna Agriculture Research Center to a University for Agricultural Research, enhancing the agricultural sector and ensuring food security for the nation.
Furthermore, Bawku Naba advocated for upgrading the Kusaug area to regional status, bringing governance closer to the people and ensuring a more equitable distribution of resources.
“This, we believe, will bring governance closer to the people, leading to a wider benefit of the national cake by all in Kusaug,” he said.
