NPP set to oust Mahama with “Smart Ladies”

Unveiling the group on Saturday in the Upper East regional capital, Bolgatanga, the regional chairman of the party said the group must work hard to ensure Nana Akufo-Addo comes to power.

Dr. Bawumia's wife, Samira Bawumia joined other NPP loyal ladies to distribute party stickers

“Let’s reach out to all manner of people. As we all know, the women are very good in terms of attracting more votes. Visiting market women is another area where I expect to see your influence. Let’s make the women part and parcel of this campaign. Your role in this election is very huge since the presidency of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is the only solution to the problems affecting this country.

“I would encourage Smart Ladies to create satellite groups across the 15 constituencies in the region so that any activities you Smart Ladies plan to do can be replicated in all the constituencies in the region,” the Upper East Regional Chairman said.

He further assured the women group of maximum support in terms of resources to ensure their campaign becomes successful.

“In terms of resources and other logistics, I would be ready to support you. The success of this group is the success of the New Patriotic Party in the region. As your Regional Chairman, I am ever ready to support Smart Ladies. You can fall on me any day, any time, and I will be willing to attend to you.

“I would strongly [ask] that you work closely with my Regional Youth Organiser and my Regional Women Organiser since groups of this nature fall under their mandates, especially the Regional Women Organiser,” ,” Mr. Ibrahim said.

As the campaign season heats up, the NPP’s “Smart Ladies” would have to compete with the John Mahama Ladies (JM Ladies), a similar campaign setup of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who are already on the ground campaigning for the governing party.

But Chairperson of the NPP’s Smart Ladies, Cynthia Wepia Addah said the group is all set to ensure massive victory for the NPP.

“Our aim is to see Nana Addo as President in Ghana come December 7 and victory [for] all the PCs (parliamentary candidates). We will achieve our goals [by] going to market squares, meeting our colleague women, youth groups, going to the lorry parks, going door to door, organising programmes, organising workshops.

“So many things are happening in Ghana. School feeding is cut off. Teachers’ allowances (scrapped). Our light bills, our water bills [are] too much. Change is coming. I advise all my colleague women to take part in active politics notwithstanding all the insults they rain on us, whether [they say] you are a harlot, no matter what they say,” she said.
