"It is God who appoints leaders"- Vice President
Tamale, July 15, Ghanadot/GNA - Vice President Alhaji Aliu
Mahama at the weekend consolidated his presidential ambition
by rallying the people of Tamale to support his aspirations
to lead the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2008
Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
He said his succession to the highest office of the land
would accelerate the development of the area.
"If you push me forward, you are pushing the development of
Tamale forward. If you pull me back you are pulling the
development of Tamale back," he said when addressing some
people including community opinion leaders at the Northern
Regional Office of the main opposition National Democratic
Congress (NDC) at Tamale.
Vice President Mahama was concluding a two-day visit to
Tamale during which he attended the funeral of 'Sagnari Naa',
Dr Andani Andan, (Chief of Sagnari) and the late Dr Edward
Baba Sampanah, a Veterinary Surgeon.
He also inspected progress of work at the new Tamale Sports
Stadium.
Alhaji Mahama said "It is God who chooses a leader and most
often, those people do not regard are those he appoints".
He therefore asked the people to continue to pray for him
and not look down on any of the Presidential aspirants of
the NPP.
