The overlord of Dagbon, Ndan Yaa Naa Abukari II, has acknowledged the contributions of former Vice President of Ghana and the 2024 NPP presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, to the development of the country.

He assured the former vice president that his efforts will be rewarded soon.

Welcoming Dr Bawumia to the Gbewaa Palace in Yendi during the NPP's thank you tour of the Northern Region, the Yaa Naa told Dr Bawumia not to be discouraged by his defeat on his first attempt to be President, adding that his remarkable record as vice president will earn him the support of Ghanaians in the future. "We recognise your contributions to Ghana's development, particularly in digitalisation and economic modernisation initiatives during your tenure as Vice President."  "As a Vice President, you did your best and contributed more actively than most of your predecessors in the Fourth Republic." "With determined efforts, you spearheaded several transformative projects including Ghana's digital addressing system and mobile money interoperability.

All these have not gone unnoticed and Ghanaians are grateful for your efforts," the Ya Naa said.
