“corrupt nature” of President Mahama Has Destroyed Northerners' Chances To Become President - Bugri Naabu

President John Dramani Mahama, has dented the admirable trait of people of northern descent who are incorruptible, truthful and have the interest of Ghana at heart when they hold any position in government. This is the observation of Mr. Bugri Naabu, Northern Regional Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP). According to him, no northerner will support a thief to loot Ghana's resources. The NPP Chairman was reacting to the President’s call on his tribesmen to vote massively for him in the 2016 general elections. President Mahama while addressing party members during his Changing Lives tour in the Northern region last week urged them to retain him because he is one of them. But in an apparent response to the President, Bugri Naabu said they won’t support any individual or group of people to milk Ghana dry. “What has John Mahama done for northerners; we have suffered and still suffering under the government of someone who claims to be one of us. Northerners are not thieves so we won’t support a thief to rule Ghana” he fumed. The outspoken NPP Chairman cited how government appointees in charge of Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) created, looted and shared monies meant to develop the north to buttress his point. “We are mad about his administration; apart from corruption and create, loot and share, what has Mahama done for northerners” he stressed. Bugri Naabu said the “corrupt nature” of President Mahama has destroyed the chances of any northerner who hopes to ascend the high office of President.
