The Paramount Chief of Nandom Traditional Area, Naa Puo-Ure Puobekyiir VII has called for President of Ghana His Excellency John Dramani Mahama to be retained as President of the Republic of Ghana in the coming polls.

The Chief said this when the Chief of Staff Mr Julius Debrah and the General Secretary of the NDC Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketiah called on him to campaign for President Mahama and the ruling NDC's candidate for Nandom, Dr Richard Kuunre.

Naa Puo-Ure Puobekyiir VII who is also a Former President of the Upper West Regional House of Chiefs stated among other things that "we are very grateful to the government of the NDC for giving us this District.." Drawing on his international exposure he asserted that "I have lived in Europe for twenty years. And as I keep saying when a government is doing well you must retain that government." "We are praying that the government of President Mahama will be retained."

Observing the good works of the government of President Mahama the Paramount Chief, to loud cheers from his subjects, said "we are also grateful that Ko Polyclinic has been upgraded." He went on to note, "I was surprised to also learn that the government has started preparing to work on the Kamba Irrigation Project." He therefore sees no reason for which this government of President Mahama should be changed especially when at this current rate of progress, when there are resources, he expects the rest of the road beyond Lawra through Nandom to Hamile will be constructed by this current government.

It would be recalled that the Chief of Staff Mr Julius Debrah, on Tuesday, asserted at the Palace of the Wa Naa that the destiny of a nation is not necessarily about trial and error. Therefore, once the system of a nation is working we must keep it going to bring about the change we desire. He noted that countries like Malaysia, China and other in Asia have achieved progress not because they changed governments by trial, but because they kept governments that were working.

This view by the Chief of Staff has strongly been corroborated by the influential paramount chief of the Nandom Traditional Area, Naa Puo-Ure Puobekyiir VII.
