Kotingli NDC youth apologises to MP

Kotingli (N/R), Nov. 1, GNA – The Kotingli zonal youth of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Tamale South Constituency has apologised to the Member of Parliament of the area for destroying his bill board.   The youth protested against Mr Haruna Iddrisu, the Minister of Communication and MP for the area, for failing to connect the community to the national electricity grid and destroyed a bill board belonging to the MP.   At a rally at Kotingli on Tuesday, Mr Iddrisu Abdulai, Kotingli zonal chairman of the NDC said, “We in the NDC and the entire community wish to apologise to the hierarchy of the NDC and specifically to Mr Haruna Iddrisu for ignorantly protesting against him and the NDC”.   Mr Abdulai said it was ignorance that informed their decision and assured the NDC and the MP that extra efforts would be put in place to ensure that every single vote in the community was given to the NDC to retain power in a first round of voting.   “No one will abandon the NDC especially at this time when all indications are clear that President John Dramani Mahama is the only person to take Ghana to the Promised Land,” he said.   Madam Braimah Ayi, Kotingli zonal branch women’s organiser, said the NPP used and dumped the constituency like they dumped then Vice President Alhaji Aliu Mahama and appealed to the people to vote for a party that had their interests at heart.   “Alhaji Aliu Mahama would have been contesting for the president on the NPP ticket but our brother was used as a conduit on which the NPP used to win power on two occasions and dumped him,” she said.   She thanked Mr Haruna Iddrisu for giving some women in the constituency interest free loans.   Mr Mohammed Sulemana, Tamale South Constituency secretary, said the NDC was a party for all and that the national cake would be distributed equitably and asked the electorate to remain patient since the “Better Ghana Agenda” is still on course.   He said Mr Haruna Iddrisu was not engaging in vain promises and assured the community that their concerns would be addressed appropriately.   Mr Sulemana Abdul Rauf, Tamale South Constituency chairman, said the NDC and Mr Haruna Iddrisu were development oriented and everything possible would be done to ensure that the community is connected to the national electricity grid.     GNA...
