This is my time-Vice President
Kpandai (N/R), Ghanadot/GNA- Vice President Alhaji Aliu
Mahama on Tuesday made a strong claim to the Flag bearership
of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) saying his time of
being at the helm of affairs is now.
" This is my time, he said, while addressing enthusiastic
party supporters, chiefs and opinion leaders at Kpandai in
the East Gonja District of the Northern region where he is
on a six-day campaign tour.
" At the market place, people buy what they want, I am the
best person to be marketed by the NPP", he said.
Vice President Mahama said he has served President Agyekum
Kufuor faithfully and loyally and has therefore gained the
necessary experience.
" I have been tried and tested and well known by Ghanaians".
" Everywhere I go, people are able to make me out".
Vice President Aliu Mahama appealed to traditional
authorities to seek the blessings of ancestors to facilitate
his victory at the December 22nd national delegates
conference of the NPP to select the Presidential candidate
for election 2008.
He asked Christian and Moslem leaders to also seek divine
favour for him.
Talking on the development of the area, he appealed to the
chiefs and the people to forge peace and unity to facilitate
progress.
Vice President Mahama said the image of Kpandai as
pro-violent has not helped to add value to the area, leading
to wide spread of poverty and deprivation.
He asked the people to support his political ambition in
order to improve on their lot.
" Give me the opportunity so that I can serve you better
tomorrow.
