Rally behind Dr.Bawumia and all NPP Parliamentary candidates- Mimi Duah tells youth
The Deputy National Women’s Organiser of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Mimi Duah has charged the youth to rally massively behind the flagbearer and Vice President, Dr.Mahamudu Bawumia and all Parliamentary candidates of the party.
According to her, Dr.Bawumia has policies which set the youth of the country on a path to success.
She said most of their policies are youth oriented and have what it takes to empower Ghanaian youth to achieve their dreams.
Mimi Duah made these remarks at the ‘Girls Girls Meet Up’ event which took place at Patty’s Event Centre, East Legon in Accra on Sunday.
The Deputy National Women’s Organiser noted that many policies and programmes have successfully been implemented for which the citizens have reaped the benefits of these interventions.
For this reason, she urged the youth not to sit for the opposition to project a wrong narrative out there.
She therefore called on all sympathisers of the NPP to carry the message of the party’s policies to the people, adding that the NPP has demonstrated over the years that it is not selective but people centered.
“It is our responsibility to sell the message of the party to the people, but not allow the opposition to throw dust in the eyes of Ghanaians,” she said.
Mimi Duah, added that “Let’s recommend our party to people and get more volunteers and those willing to commit themselves to the course of breaking the eight to ensure that our flagbearer Dr.Bawumia wins and our parliamentary candidates within all the constituencies in the country emerge as winners.”
“We know what you can do, we know your capabilities as youth, the party has a strong believe in you,” she concluded and thanked all young ladies who thronged the venue to make the meetup a memorable one.
