Fulanis in the Northern Region have thrown their weight behind the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to enhance his chance of winning the presidential election on December 7.
According to them, they assisted the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to win power in 2012 and have decided to direct their focus on the NPP this time round.
They indicated that the decision had been taken based on motivation by Samira Bawumia, wife of the vice presidential candidate of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. By their judgement, they claim the NDC told them lies prior to the 2012 elections, adding that they have now realized the truth.
This development happened at the campaign launch of the NPP parliamentary candidate for Tamale North Constituency, Hajia Kulsumi Mohammed.
Speaking to the media, the Chairman of the Fulani Community in the Northern Region, Eliasu Dauda, said it was the NDC that made them (Fulanis) realize what voting is about after the party had registered them.
He alleged that the NDC told them that if they voted for the NPP to come into power, they would be sacked from the region.
According to Mr Eliasu Dauda, as long as their sister, mother and friend (Hajia Samira Bawumia) is involved, they will vote for the NPP.
He stated that women have their children at heart and urged the people of the Tamale North Constituency to vote Hajia Kulsumi to become their Member of Parliament on December 7.
Hajia Kulsumi Mohammed also urged the electorate to vote massively for her and the NPP to bring transformation into their lives.
She asserted that she is the only surviving female candidate in Tamale, indicating that she would be a mother for all.

Change is blowing and this is why issifu said Bawumia should warn Samilra, he sees the 2nd lady to be as a threat to his future cos he smel defeat. Hajia Kulsumi b3ba, nana b3ba
This that my party is doing is dangerous. Campaign to all people DON'T segregate your messages. This Fulani bit may not go down well with people around Agogo and Kwahu areas. People may say Fulanis are becoming daring because they have the support of NPP. We should not forget that Fulanis have been a source of distress and pain to some people. Please, let us thread cautiously.
Thank you Samira. This is what NPP need, votes from settlers who rejected NPP beceause of lies by NDC. These settlers are about 100,000 in the whole Ghana. Thank God, I am now convinced change is coming
