Hajia Hamdatu Ibrahim eyes CPP flagbearership

You know my track record in the CPP and the political landscape. I have been committed and dedicated to the cause of the Nkrumahist and then it is very very important that we look for a grassroot person who really understands the mill”.

“You see, unless and until you get who has really gone through the mill of the convention people’s party, who understand the dynamic of politics, the dynamics of what we really stands for, It will be a of challenge if we really don’t continue to preach the legacy of Dr Kwame Nkrumah, ” Hajia Hamdatu Ibrahim said.
