Story: Tim Dzamboe, Ho

THE concerned youth of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Akan Constituency of the Volta Region have embraced suggestions from certain quarters on making the Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Alhaji Rashid Bawa, the running mate of the NPP presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in the December elections.
The group claimed that it was not surprised at the suggestions coming from different parts of the country, because they knew that Alhaji Bawa had all the requisite and necessary qualities that would be required for a running mate.
Ambassador Rashid Bawa is an excellent team player, affable, goal-oriented, humble, youthful and down to earth,” it stated.
This was contained in a release signed by the Chairman of the youth, Mr Bernard Nana Akompi, and issued in Ho last Monday.
 It said Ambassador Bawa was adored and admired by the youth and seen as a symbol of strength and inspiration to the youth in the Volta Region, adding that he extended the same sterling qualities to both sports men and women in the entire country.
The statement said though Ambassador Rashid Bawa was born and raised in a Muslim home at Kadjebi, he was also popular in the three northern regions of the country.
 It stated that as a devout Muslim with good reputation in the Zongo communities, he also related very well with Christians and ensured that good relations existed between both religions in the district and the region as a whole.
“This had given him an in-depth knowledge of co-existence between the two religions in the country as a whole,” it stated.
It said Ambassador Bawa was one exceptional, inspirational and loyal person who would best partner the NPP flag bearer, Nana Akufo-Addo, in the 2008 general election.
