The Vice President, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, who is also the
Presidential Candidate of the NPP, has donated a Pickup vehicle to
the Hilla Limann Senior High School at Gwollu in the Upper West
Region.
The NPP flagbearer promised to provide the vehicle to the only
Senior High School in the Sissala West District in response to a
request by the late Paramount Chief of Gwollu, Kuri-Biktie Limann IV,
made just before he passed away. Dr Bawumia made the pledge on
Saturday, June 29, 2024 when he led a Government delegation to the
late Gwollu overlord's funeral at Gwollu.
Less than a month after the pledge Dr Bawumia, on Thursday 25th
July, 2024 handed over the keys to a brand new Nissan Navarra 4WD
Pickup to the school authorities at the Gwollu Palace, Gwollu.
Expressing delight at the donation, the Chiefs and people of the
three traditional areas in the Sissala West District commended Dr
Bawumia for promptly fulfilling his promise.
Reading a speech on behalf of his fellow Paramount Chiefs of Zini,
Gwollu and Pulima, Kuoru Osman Deiwia Nankpa III, Paramount
Chief of Pulima expressed surprise at the speed with which Dr
Bawumia had fulfilled his pledge.
"Your recent pledge to grant the request of our late father and
colleague, late Kuoru Kuri Buktie Limann to get a bus and a Pickup for
the Dr Hilla Limann Senior High School are testament of your
government's and personal commitment to groom quality human
resource for the benefit of our country.
"So let me be fulsome on behalf of the Chiefs and people of our land,
in showing our profound gratitude for such meaningful
interventions. I have gathered from very reliable sources that what
you told us at this same grounds, barely a fortnight ago about
making the Pickup available, will come to fruition today.
"I ask on behalf of our people, 'What kind of a politician is this?' You
promised and you delivered. We are deeply touched and express the
same here with elation" Kuoru Deiwia Nankpa stated.
Members of the Limann family, the Board and Management
expressed deep appreciation to Dr Bawumia for the gesture, and
promised to ensure it's proper use and maintenance.
