What I Stand For

Service, Rooted In Principle

Four commitments run through everything I do — from the television studio to the communities I serve.

01

For Everyone

True to my name, I serve every community — no one left behind.

02

A Clear Voice

I explain policy honestly and stand my ground in the national debate.

03

Zongo & Inclusion

I champion Zongo communities and women in public life, tirelessly.

04

Due Process

I believe in accountability, transparency and respect for Ghana’s institutions.


About Me

A Leader With Vision.
A Servant At Heart.

I am Hajia Rabi Salifu, Deputy National Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party — and you may know my voice from Ghanaian television and radio, from JoyNews and TV3 to Metro TV, GHOne and Starr FM.

They call me “Hajia Nakoowa” — for everyone. A name earned, not given.

From my student days in TESCON to grassroots organising across the Northern Region, I have devoted my life to Zongo communities, women and young people. Being installed as Development Queen-mother of the Baribari (Kanuri) community in Ghana remains one of the great honours of my life.
