Alhaji Hindu Abdallah, a known campaigner and coordinator of Alan Kyerematen in the Northern Region is backing the Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to contest as flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to him, he is not supporting Bawumia because he is a Muslim or a Northerner, adding the economist is the best thing to have happened to the party.
“Don’t get me wrong… I’m not supporting Bawumia because he is a Northerner or Muslim but rather I am supporting him because he is competent and the best to lead the party,” the former Northern regional organiser of the NPP told Radio Tamale.
Alhaji Abdallah said he will campaign for Bawumia once he makes his political ambitions known publicly and officially.
“If Bawumia comes out today to declare his intention to contest as NPP flagbearer you cannot leave me out as his lead campaigner,” he said. “You can peddle all the falsehood in the world but the truth is that I am a diehard Bawumia person.”
“I am not supporting him because of any favour, but I am following him based on my personal conviction. I have served the party for a long time and I know what is good for us. No one can beat him to popularity and intellect,” Alhaji Abdallah was quoted by MyNewsGh.com.
“We are not out as northerners because he is of us or because he is a Muslim. If he was any of these and incompetent, we would not have supported him but he has proven to be unique at what he does and that alone is soothing,” he said.
