Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, New Patriotic Party (NPP) Vice Presidential Candidate at the weekend pledged to bring the needed development to the three Northern Regions to bridge the wide gap that existed between the North and South when NPP was retained in power.
He said he was in perfect tune with Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's vision to give serious consideration for the implementation of a comprehensive development programme for the three Northern Regions.
"I accepted the post of Vice Presidential Candidate because of the state of the three Northern Regions and would support in every way to ensure that the wide development gap is bridged."
Dr Bawumia made the pledge when addressing a durbar of chiefs and people of Zuarungu Tradition Area at this year's annual Ndaakoya Festival.
The festival was to show appreciation to God and their ancestors for good harvest during the just-ended farming season.
It was also used to plan development projects for the area and take stock on achievements in terms of development made so far within the year.
Dr Bawumia noted that poverty was a major key problem that had continuously derailed government's efforts to achieve the needed development targets for the three Northern Regions, and said it would be tackled with all seriousness and from every angle when NPP retained power.
He mentioned the implementation of a special agriculture programme during the rainy and dry seasons, institute feasible strategies capable of moving the wheels of development faster to realize the poverty-eradication dream.
