DEPUTY CHIEF of Staff at the Office of the President, Aliu Fawaz, has expressed optimizm that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) will surely “Break the 8” by retaining political power in 2024.

Aliu Fawaz’s strong conviction comes after what he described as a recent successful trip to Tamale, capital of the Northern Region, where he convinced scores of people to rally behind the NPP to retain political power during the next national elections.

Fawaz, who commands a lot of respect and influence in the entire Northern Region, also freely interacted with people from various backgrounds, where he thoroughly explained government’s positive policies to them.

In a Facebook post after his visit, Fawaz indicated that “while in Tamale over the weekend to attend to some family commitments, I took time off to visit various youth groups, opinion leaders and elders”.

“It was a great opportunity to explain current government policies, and efforts being made by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to deal with the challenges confronting the country,” Fawaz posted.

The Deputy Chief of Staff continued that “I also enjoyed the useful exchanges of opinions from my interactions. Hopefully we will all work together to address many of the issues and break the 8”.

Fawaz stated that the timely visit gave him the opportunity to know the concerns of the people, which would surely be addressed in due time, adding that he also highlighted President Akufo-Addo’s good works to transform the country to the people.

“The ongoing impasse in Parliament over the passage of the electronic levy bill (E-Levy), apparent financial challenges in the country and the urgent need for unity at all levels of membership and leadership of the NPP are some others issues that came up”, he said.

Among the groups Fawaz interacted with are Kandaha base, popular office NPP group, Young Liberals, Big Six, Zobgeli, and Same Minds (Aboabo). Elders and opinion leaders of the NPP in Tamale, such as Alhaji Wofa, Alhaji Bawa, Alhaji One One, among others.
