Dr Bandim stressed that “Second timer is a world of opportunities” which will inure to the benefit of the good people of Bunkpurugu-Nakpaduri District.

He asked them to consider his capability, human relations, lobbying prowess and experience during the election.

Dr Bandim described leadership as a “responsibility that requires an able person who is healthy, physically fit, intelligent and experienced.”

He stressed that it is high time for Ghanaians to rescue the country from the hands of the NPP government.

“You should know that the NPP has ruined this country. If you go to the market with GHc100, you won’t be able to buy anything with the money, Ghana has been wrecked. That is why we want to rescue this country and the NDC is the only political party that can do it. Ghana needs to be rescued from these people managing us ruthlessly, we need to reorganize and build the Ghana we want,” Dr Bandim added.
