During his ‘Building the Ghana We Want Tour’ in the Northern Region on Monday, February 5, 2024, John Dramani Mahama, the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), paid a courtesy call on Yaa Naa Abubakari Mahama II, the Overlord of Dagbon, at the Gbewaa Palace in Yendi.
Mahama assured Yaa Naa that, if elected, his government would prioritize resolving water scarcity in Dagbon.
He expressed disappointment over the stalled Yendi Water Supply Project initiated during his tenure, criticizing the current government for its lack of progress on the project.
Mahama also promised to address the prevailing insecurity in Dagbon, particularly the rise in armed robberies, if the NDC regains power in 2025.
He emphasized the importance of ensuring safety for the people of Dagbon, allowing them to live and work without fear of harm.
Furthermore, Mahama pledged to revive the Eastern Corridor Roads project, which has experienced delays under the current government. He committed to completing the project to facilitate travel for the people of Yendi, eliminating the need to pass through Tamale when journeying to the southern part of Ghana.
