Addressing the Chiefs and elders of Atebubu on Saturday, Dr. Bawumia said: “Our message is therefore simple, the NDC has had eight years and all we have seen are hardships and mismanagement, which is why we are asking for a chance to change the current circumstances and bring real development and relief to the people of Ghana,”

He pointed out that every Ghanaian wants a country they can be proud of and the only way that could happen is by focusing on key sectors like agriculture which the "NPP will revitalise and develop it to make it worthwhile.”

“Secondly, we all know of the current unemployment situation. Many of our youths don’t have jobs and this is why we want to transform this economy to provide jobs and create wealth,” he added.

Dr. Bawumia visited the Palace of the Atebubu Omanhene, Nana Owusu Akyeaw Brempong II, to seek his blessings and support as well as the support of the elders and people of Atebubu ahead of the polls.
