General News of Wednesday, 24 August 2016Source: Daily GuideMahama gives out more carsPresident John Dramani MahamaMany people, especially chiefs, are benefiting from President John Mahama’s car donation, the latest being the regent of the Abudu Royal Gate of Dagbon, the Bolin Lana Mahamadu Abdulai. The presentation of the Toyota Fortuner to the Bolin-Lana has sparked several reactions from both the Abudu and Andani circles. While those from the Abudu Family see it as an attempt by the President to obtain votes from the Abudu Gate, others think it is a reconciliatory move by President Mahama to make up for always ignoring the Bolin-Lana’s palace anytime he visits Yendi. Some Andanis are also of the view that the donation of the vehicle to the Abudu regent is aimed at performing the funeral of the late Yana Mahama Abdulai. It is left to be seen whether the donation of the vehicle to the Abudu Regent would pull more Abudu members and NPP to the NDC in Yendi.
