The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has received a vote of confidence from the Greater Accra House of Chiefs for his ability to lead Ghana effectively.
The traditional authority is optimistic that Dr. Bawumia will exceed the accomplishments of former leaders, contributing positively to the nation’s progress.
During a recent engagement at the Dodowa headquarters of the Regional House of Chiefs, King Professor Odaifio Welentsi III, the Paramount Chief of Nungua and the acting head of the Greater Accra House of Chiefs, conveyed this endorsement.
The meeting took place on Tuesday, June 4, as part of Dr. Bawumia’s comprehensive consultations with essential stakeholders nationwide.
He emphasized that Dr. Bawumia’s calm and composed personality is an asset that will serve him well in leadership and urged him to maintain his temperament.
According to the House of Chiefs, Dr. Bawumia’s leadership style is a departure from the violent and radical approach that has characterized some leaders in the past.
They believe his calm demeanour will enable him to make informed decisions that will benefit the country and its citizens.
“We state with all emphasis that when it comes to effective leadership, you don’t have to be radical, violent, or pompous to be a bold leader. Being a bold leader is not about brawls, but rather brains.”
“Having observed you from afar, we believe you have a lot of potential to offer this country. Do not disappoint, because your records will always be there – they will be used to evaluate you.”
“On selfless leadership, we have less to say about you. Your Excellency, you are an accomplished man. You’re a successful man. Therefore, we are convinced you will not fail the test when it comes to selfless leadership,” he stated.
Dr. Bawumia thanked the Greater Accra House of Chiefs for their endorsement and assured them he would not disappoint the country when elected President.
He also sought their wisdom and guidance to lead Ghana forward.
