Communities in the Zabzugu constituency of the Northern Region have received mechanised boreholes from Deputy Chief of Staff at the Office of the President, Alhaji Fawaz Aliu.
The donation was given in response to chiefs and elders’ requests for assistance in addressing the shortage of drinkable water in various areas in the constituency.
The community, represented by the chiefs and other opinion leaders, expressed their gratitude to Alhaji Aliu for the generous gesture and promised to put the boreholes to good use.
Speaking to the media, the residents recalled previous activities he had undertaken to help the people in the constituency.
According to sources, Alhaji Aliu, who was named Deputy Chief of Staff by President Nana Akufo-Addo in January 2021, will run for the Zabzugu parliamentary seat on the NPP ticket.
According to reports, Alhaji Aliu has huge support from the chiefs, women, and youth in the area as a result of his multiple interventions in the constituency’s development.
He has endeared himself to several other key political blocs in the Northern Region throughout the years after attaining the presidency.
It is unclear whether the senior three-time incumbent MP will still run for the seat against the younger, more dynamic, and development-minded Fawaz Aliu.
