We must learn from their example and give the NPP the chance to continue their good work,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He also addressed the initial skepticism surrounding Dr. Bawumia\u2019s candidacy, saying: \u201cSome people doubted whether the NPP would allow a Muslim to lead the party, but today, we have seen the party prove them wrong. This is a testament to the NPP\u2019s commitment to inclusivity and meritocracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former MP for Akyem Oda Constituency, Mr. Osafo Maafo warned that voting back the National Democratic Congress (NDC) into power would spell retrogression for Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>He emphatically stated \u201cWe cannot afford to go back to the days of economic mismanagement, corruption, and stagnation. The NDC has had its chance, and it failed. It\u2019s time to move forward with the NPP and Dr. Bawumia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Bawumia\u2019s visit to Oda is part of his ongoing campaign tour of the Eastern Region, where he has been meeting with traditional leaders, party faithful, and the general public to share his vision for Ghana\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BY Daniel Bampoe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Senior Advisor to the President, Yaw Osaafo Marfo has showered praises on the Presidential Candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party, NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, describing him as the most truthful and honest politician he has encountered in his years of political involvement.
