The serene North Eastern Regional towns of Walewale and Nalerigu in the North East Region were set agog on Monday when Vice President Dr. Mahamudu visited for the first time as flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Dr. Bawumia, who was historically elected flagbearer of the NPP earlier this month, is in the North for what can be described as a special homecoming visit to express gratitude to the people including traditional rulers and ask for their support and prayers.
In line with tradition, Dr. Bawumia started his visits by going to his home region, the North Region, where he called on the Nayiri (Overlord of Mamprugu) Naa Abdulai Mahami Sheriga
Before he arrived at the Palace of the Nayiri in Nalerigu where a mammoth crowd welcomed him, the new NPP flagbearer and his entourage drove through Walewale, his hometown, where scores of people started coming out from all corners to catch a glimpse of their son.
Dr. Bawumia, who was seated in a bus alongside a number of MPs and party executives had to leave the bus to be in an open-top vehicle to be able to respond to the cheers from the enthusiastic crowd.
The cheering crowd, made up of the young and old, lined up on the main Walewale-Bolga highway to give the Vice President a befitting reception as he passed through to Nalerigu.
The reception was even more tumultuous when the entourage arrived in Nalerigu.
From Langbinsi through Gambaga to Nalerigu itself, crowds lined up the streets to cheer the Vice President.
In Nalerigu, Dr. Bawumia held discussions with the Nayiri and his elders before addressing the charged crowd waiting for him outside.
Dr. Bawumia said the 2024 election will be about the track record of himself as Vice President and John Mahama as a former President.
While listing a tall list of policies he recommended as Vice President, which he said are having positive impacts on the nation, he challenged the crowd to remind him of any policy former President Mahama introduced under his regime and the silence was deafening.

This is not Kumasi, Koforidua, Sekondi/Takoradi, Sunyani or Sefwi Akontonbra but once the heart of the Ndc. Yoo, Mahama is winning the 2024 election, yoo yate.
Analytical Info or whatever it calls itself is telling Ghanaians that presidential candidate Bawumia is getting 30 percentage of votes in the North. When the election fever hits in, the Ashanti, Eastern, Bono and Ahafo will come to their natural party and Bawumia is winning the North as well not forgetting the large concentrations of Moslem communities in the Bone East and greater Accra. There is no pathway for Mahama.No matter the insults and the insinuation castigating against our next president Bawumia. He will prevail. It is possible.
Bawumia is visionary and competent,he’s the leader Ghana needs now.God keep him safe to lead Ghana.
The support must continue throughout the nation NDC is nation detractors. They have no long term positive vision for the country. Nations building takes time and it takes time with people or leaders who have vision. Not yooyoo gangs whose interest is insults!!!!!!!
