THE Upper West regional branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed its appreciation to President John Evans Atta Mills for nominating Alhaji Issahaku Salia, a former Member of Parliament for Wa East, as the substantive regional minister.
“We the people of Upper West will always say thank you. Indeed, you have demonstrated that we have a special place in your heart for the people of the Upper West. You always respond positively to our plea,” it added.
In a statement signed by the Regional Secretary of the party, Mr Eric Dakurah, the party said it was proud to indicate that the President had never “denied us our due share when it comes to development and appointment, for which we are grateful”.
The statement used the opportunity to commend the leadership of the National Democratic Congress for its foresight, support and encouragement to support the President and his team to deliver the Better Ghana Agenda which the party had promised Ghanaians.
It commended the Northern Regional Minister, Mr Moses Magbenba, who was also acting as the Upper West Regional Minister, for his courage, inspiration and sense of direction which was geared towards unifying the party, and said it was against this backdrop that the party in the region would continue to work hard to consolidate the foundation laid by former ministers of the region.
“The Youth Wing, Women’s Wing and all other special constituencies in the region wish to also pledge our support and co-operation for you to develop the region for us. Consultation, recognition and participation is the way forward to lead the region towards its development,” it said.
The statement said the party in the region had set targets and therefore needed to work effectively to reclaim all lost seats in the 2012 general election.
It would be recalled that in May this year, President Mills sacked the Upper West Regional Minister, Mr Mahmoud Khalid, following agitation from members of the party.
