The Paramount Chief of the Peki Traditional Area in the Volta Region, Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII, has commended the Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for engaging in a decent, issue-based campaign.
Welcoming Dr. Bawumia to Peki in the South Dayi Constituency as part of the NPP Flagbearer's campaign tour, Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII said that since Dr. Bawumia was elected Flagbearer of the NPP, he has observed that the Vice President has introduced a new form of campaigning centered on issues, which has contributed to changing the status quo of insult-laden politics in the country.
"This year's political activity has taken a new turn, and I take special notice of it," said the Paramount Chief.
"In the past, political activities were turbulent and full of insults—things that are not palatable for our children to learn from."
"Before Alhaji Bawumia was elected to lead the NPP, this trend had already begun. Even those who had not declared themselves candidates started with insults and threats. But since he joined the fray, we have noticed that his campaign has always been issue-based, and this has changed the landscape of our campaigning."
"Yes, we still hear a few threats and a few insults here and there. But what had been the status quo has changed, and I think we need to commend the Flagbearer of the NPP for this."
Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII emphasized that his comments were not intended to flatter Dr. Bawumia but were rather a sincere observation.
"Those who know me know that I don't flatter people. If I need to tell you that you're a fool, I will look you in the face and say it. So whatever I say should not be taken as flattery just because the Vice President is here."
