"Your Excellency, I am mindful of the numerous achievements by your government, notably in the areas of health, digital technology, infrastructure among others.
"Notwithstanding it's few challenges, the Free SHS programme remains uncontestably the most far-reaching social intervention of our time, which has also benefitted my traditional area" he maintained.
Dr Bawumia was at the palace of the Overlord of Builsa as part of his constituency-focused nationwide campaign tour, during which he shares his vision for Ghana's with all stakeholders including traditional and religious authorities, the youth and constituency at large.

I also pray for Allah's blessings on you personally, your family and members of your campaign team...
