A Tamale-based electrical contractor, Mr Mahmud Mohammed Mumuni, has expressed his willingness to contest the Tamale North Parliamentary seat on the ticket of the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP).
Describing himself as an illustrious son of the area, Mr Mumuni said he wanted to accelerate the pace of development in the constituency, which he noted had not seen enough development over the years.
The aspirant who graduated in electrical engineering from the Tamale Polytechnic also promised to reach out to all segment of the society, including chiefs, traditional and opinion leaders for consensus building to ensure harmony and cohesion.
‘‘I believe in spirit de corps since it is in unity and concerted efforts that we can grow as a nation,’’ he said.
He also promised to help build the human resource base of the people through the promotion of education. ‘‘This I would do by setting aside a portion of my share of the MP’s common fund when given the nod, to establish an ICT Centre,’’ the aspirant assured.
Mr. Mumuni further pledged to establish a scholarship scheme to assist brilliant needy students to excel in their respective fields of study.
In the area of health, ‘‘I intend to organise periodic clean-up campaigns, liaise with the appropriate development partners to put up more public places of convenience, ensure good drainage systems and also sensitise the people to the need to ensure good sanitary practices since cleanliness is next to godliness,’’ he intimated.
On agriculture, the aspirant observed that it was the mainstay of the people in the area for which reason he hoped to lobby agencies and non-governmental organisations to offer micro-credit credit to peasant farmers to increase productivity.
‘‘I shall also establish a community centre and ensure the formation of vibrant social clubs to strengthen social cohesion,’’ he added.
