Yaa-Naa Abukari Mahama II, the overlord of Dagbon, has informed Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Ghana's vice president, that his genuine interest in seeing the North advance will always be remembered.

When highlighting the significant infrastructure improvements the Northern Region has undergone since Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia assumed the role of Vice President, Yaa-Naa Abubakari Mahama II made this point clear.

During a courtesy call on him at the Gbewaa Palace in Yendi, Yaa Naa praised the development initiatives in the Northern Region, saying, "Through your efforts, our region has seen the construction of its first interchange.

You made a promise, and as would be expected of you, you kept it.

He added that “under you as a Vice President, you have also supported the President to make our region and all other four regions in our part of the country benefits of the National cake through social interventions.”

Yaa-Naa Abubakari Mahama II continued “Today, we can boast of countless infrastructure from roads, markets, factories, hospitals, schools, water and sanitation projects among others. All these were achieved through the Northern Development Authority which you were instrumental in its formulation.”

Yaa-Naa Abubakari Mahama II made this known when the Vice President of Ghana called on him Sunday as part of his working visit to the Northern Region.

He praised the Vice President’s focus on his work and his quest not to be distracted from his goals as something worth emulating.

“Remarkably you have discharged and keep discharging your duties with great tolerance even when your opponents come after you and this proves your competence and how focused you are.”
