A freelance Journalist and Managing Editor of Apexnewsgh.com Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen has donated dozens of handkerchiefs labeled with peace messages with various political party logos inclusive to parliamentary candidates in the Bolgatanga Central Constituency of the Upper East Region. According to Mr. Ngamegbulam, the initiative marks part of his newly established website contribution in maintaining peace among all the political parties contesting in this years election, especially the two big parties New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during and after the December 7, elections. During the donation, Mr. Ngamegbulam said, It is always a pleasure to contribute meaningfully back to society each time he had the opportunity to do so. “…if I have not witnessed war for the first time, at least, I have had the opportunity to read books about some other countries both in Africa and beyond that went into war due to elections.” Thomas Flores once wrote in one of his articles with the headline, ‘Voting under the gun: elections and conflict around the world’ “When voters around the world cast ballots, it is often with bullets on their minds. Voting during civil conflict is sadly frequent and elections can also prompt violence. Despite this, elections are still seen as a means to bolster the peace after the war ends, hinting at a deeper trend: elections and violence seem inextricably connected.” He wrote “That’s is a fact, the reason why I believe peace at this point in time is very paramount. It is my belief that if we are able to engage leaders of the various political parties in our various constituencies across the country in very inclusive peaceful engagement and activities, it will definitely minimize the number of havocs caused by youth during the elections. Yes, because the youth receives some of these regrettable violent instructions from politicians due to their vulnerability. I mean vulnerability in terms of lack of education, lack of finances, and so on.” He spoke According to Mr. Ngamegbulam, what we should all remember is that, when the elephant’s fights, the innocent grasses automatically become victims. When there is war, our innocent little children, grandparents, mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters are the ones to suffer for nothing they have knowledge about and even Journalists will not be able carryout their duties accordingly. However, all the Four personalities contesting the Parliamentary seat in the Bolgatanga Central Constituency for December 7, 2020, general elections received the donations with massive excitements. As they used the opportunity to pledge for peace and extends the same calls to their supporters ahead of the December 7, polls Francis Ayandago the Bolgatanga Central Constituency parliamentary candidate for Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Latifa Abdul Rahman Parliamentary candidate for the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Rex Asanga Parliamentary Candidate for the Governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Isaac Adongo the incumbent Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central Constituency and the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for the 2020 election were all beneficiaries.

I Used To Spend Pounds In School, Moses Asaga Never Paid My School Fees- Lawyer Anthony Namoo
The Upper East Regional Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party Lawyer Anthony Namoo has told Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com that the pronouncement made by the former Member Parliament for Nabdam Constituency against his person is false. In November 2,2020, while addressing party sympathizers at Zanlerigu-Wooredaa during the commissioning of a CHPS facility, the former Member of Parliament for the Nabdam Constituency in the Upper East Region, Hon. Moses Asaga was captured speaking on top of his voice, angrilly saying “the first person he paid his school was Anthony Namoo, stressing that, he expected the NPP Regional Chairman to grow up to respect elders and people who are his seniors in society but was rather taken aback at his ‘lose’ character. But, when Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com approched the Regional Chairman for clarification, this was his reactions. “I lobbied the Vice President for him to help roof Sekoti Multipurpose community center, so the Vice President gave an amount of Seventy Thousand Cedis (Ghc 70,000.00) for me to present. Now, on the programme my position was there as making a remark and after that, I told them that because of my time schedule and concern that day, I had attended 4 funerals in addition to the programme. So, I said after the programme I have to leave. So, i told the chairman that I was leaving earlier. Moses was never task to say anything on the programme. So, what is it? The programme line up was there and my name was there as somebody to say something. After my speech, I donated Five Thousand Ghana cedis (Ghc 5,000.00) myself and the Vice Donated Seventy Thousand (70,000.00). Vice President Ghc70,000.00, was presented to the contractor who will be doing the roofing. So, this is it about Sekoti.” He explained. “For my school fees, Moses Asaga came at a time I had finished A’Level and I got admission at the University of Ghana to do Law, in the course of my studies I use to go to United Kingdom to work and get money ok, So, me I was a student I was rich, I have pounds, I use to make pounds and spend, not bragging. My uncles who supported me are there. It was only on one occasion that the late N.N Nayenbil who was then a presiding member of the then Bolgatanga District Assembly told him that, you have such an intelligent person doing law and you are helping people with Common Fund and don’t give him. Then, I was there Nayenbil said I should come for the Common Fund. So, Asaga as a person, I have never gone to him for any money. Ofcourse, that time he was the Member of Parliament, so, is only on one occasion and that one is Nayenbil asked me to come for the money and not Asaga. Is only one occasion, that money could not even buy one textbook on Law of studies.” He insisted Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana/Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications

The Technical advisor to the Vice president Dr. K.B Mahama, has charged the residents of the North East Region to vote massively for New Patriotic Party (NPP) and all the Parliamentary candidates contesting in the constituency, to continue the massive development agenda that has started four years ago under the NPP administration. Dr. Mahama spoke to Apexnewsgh.com during a campaign tour in the North East Region. He further referred to the current roads in the region, which are seeing some construction to link up with Upper East and Northeast region. According to him, the Pwalugu Multipurpose dam project in the Upper East Region when completed, will bring heavier economic transformation to the two regions. To make this a reality, he charged on all the people the Builsa Zone and the Mamprugu areas not to be deceived, stressing that they should not make a mistake to bring the NDC back to Power because, there is a huge difference between the then NDC administration and the current administration under the leadership of Nana Akuffo Addo and Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia. However, he believes to protect the progress that has been made, there is the need to retain the NPP and continue for the next four years and beyond.

JUST IN: John Mahama Finally Promises To Pay Menzgold Customers If He Wins 2020 Elections
The Presidential Candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress John Mahama says he will pay the premiums of Menzgold customers if he wins the December polls. According to Mr Mahama, even though he is yet to know the full amount of investments at Menzgold, it is estimated to be around 15 million dollars. “The little we can do to help Menzgold customers we will in order to alleviate their plight. If for instance someone invested GHC1000 and was expecting some huge interest if we cannot pay the interest, at least the GHC1000 government should be able to sort that one out. Because they are Ghanaians, it is the duty of the state to protect them. “We will also investigate the issue and retrieve the monies and properties that we can from the management of the company so the government can top up to settle the outstanding issues,” he told Accra-based Power FM in an interview Thursday. Meanwhile, the Coalition of Aggrieved Customers of Menzgold has called on its members to vote against President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo following what the group described as the government’s failure to facilitate the payment of locked up investment of its members. The group made the call at a press conference in Kumasi on Sunday, November 29, 2020, where it urged its members to vote for former President John Mahama. According to the Coalition, John Mahama has shown compassion towards its members and has a roadmap on how he will ensure such locked up investments are paid. The National Vice Chairman of the group, Francis Owusu, at the press conference stated that they believe the current government is complicit in the Menzgold debacle, which they say explains why it has not helped them in retrieving their locked-up cash. “As customers, we have knocked every door of the state including the President of the Republic of Ghana. From the recent utterance of the Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, labelling us as having invested in a 419 unregistered company even though his party was a huge beneficiary of Menzgold funds [we don’t believe this government will pay us our investment]”. The leadership of the group has thus urged all members to vote for the National Democratic Congress’ presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama.

Watching Manchester United And PSG Is Better For Me Than Responding To NDC- Obiri Boahen
The Deputy National Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen has said that he prefers watching the match between Manchester United (ManU) and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) than responding to the manifesto amendment of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr. Obiri Boahen told Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com in exclusive interview on December 2, 2020. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Tuesday, December 1 announced an amendment to their manifesto and has since promised to absorb the fees of students who will be admitted to the various tertiary institutions across the country in the next academic year. According to Mr. Obiri Boahen, “NDC manifesto amendment is a clear indication of a bunch of politicians who don’t read through whatever they present to Ghanaians. They are confused from the flag bearer to their constituency office, they are all confused. I have never heard throughout my life as a politician, I have never heard of an instance where you can amend your party Manifesto, I mean you don’t do an amendment to party Manifesto, assuming that is even practicable, it will come when they are implementing the Manifesto but not when you are in opposition, you have not had the opportunity to be in power and you are yet to go into elections, then you come out to amending portions of your manifesto. That is irresponsible tactics.” “The NPP has never done such thing in the party history, as for NDC is a novelty. Do I even need to waste my time with such discredited and unreliable politicians when in the next hours or minutes I will be ‘watching Manchester United and PSG’, I don’t need to be wasting my time on them.” He stressed Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana/ Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen Please forward your stories to Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications
