He was accompanied by a delegation of some members and staff of Parliament, including the Member for Wa Central, Dr. Rashid Pelpuo, who is also brother of the Waala.

In his introductory statement, Dr. Pelpuo said the Speaker was home after his election to show gratitude to the people, whose support and prayers have made him who he is today.

He added that there was no better place to start his gratitude tour than the palace of the overlord.

Welcoming the Speaker to his palace, Naa Fuseini Seidu Pelpuo VI stated that the whole Upper West Region was proud of Mr Bagbin’s unique qualities that enabled him to attain the Number 3 position in the country.

According to him, the Region’s desire for him to be Speaker was not just borne out of regional favouritism but by their firm belief that he was qualified in his own right to occupy that position.

He said the success story of the right Honorable Speaker was his commitment, hard work and unalloyed patriotism.

The Overlord further stated that, so far, the Speaker has lived up to the expectation of many by stamping his authority in the House.

“If there was iota of doubt in any one’s mind about your suitability for the position, it has been expelled,” he said.

“The over-riding factor in your steady rise to prominence is your perseverance in education, in spite of a very disadvantaged beginning, you rose to the three most enviable position in the country. This is a testimony that for us in the region to move forward education must be a priority,” he added.

On his part, Speaker Bagbin said education has been and would continue to be his priority area of attention.

He told the massive crowd that welcomed him, mostly youth, that he did menial jobs to help support his education and that effort has enabled him to get where he is today and urged them to prioritize education as it is the only way out of poverty.

He also noted the special role of women in the country’s development and added that there cannot be a better society without women empowerment, and promised to invest in the empowerment of women in the region and the country in general.

The Speaker and his entourage later called on the regional minister at the Regional Coordinating Council, where they spoke about the need to put Ghana first.

Speaker Bagbin spoke about the events leading to his election and said the unseen hand of God was at work and that he will ensure that the interest of the country is paramount.

He added that democracy has come to help the country but not to divide, and urged all to endeavor to work in harmony for peace to reign.

The regional minister, after welcoming the delegation reiterated the fact that as Ghanaians we have a common destiny and that should be the guiding principle instead of partisan politics.
