“My attack on Joseph Amiyuure is purely based on developmental issues–Abdallah Salifu
Abdallah Salifu a Communication member of the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Bolgatanga Municipality of the Upper East Region who recently issued a threat of demonstration against the incumbent Bolgatanga Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) if appointed by the President in his new MMDCEs appointment said, is not true he attacked the MCE because of money owed him by the Assembly. Mr. Salifu gave his response during an exclusive interview with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnews Gh. In a recent interview granted by Apexnews Gh, the acting Bolgatanga Municipal Chief (MCE) Joseph Amiyuure who is currently seeking for re-appointment as the MCE for Bolga Municipal said, those attacking and threatening him with demonstration are against him because he wasn’t sharing them money. “We are in a democracy and people have their own views but, if is about work, I don’t think that there is anybody who has worked more than me among all of them there. Some of them think as an MCE, I should be sharing money with them”. Mr. Amiyuure said. However, responding to the comment made by Mr. Amiyuure about money sharing, Mr. Abdallah described his talk as a lose one insisting that, he did not attack him based on his inability to pay him for a job he completed since 2016, but purely based on a developmental issue “My attack on Joseph Amiyuure is purely based on developmental issues, he not paying for my contract is a secondary matter, am not the only contractor who he has not paid. In fact, we were about 5 contractors, who were given projects. The rest are still working on them, I have finished and they are also complaining of payment. So, I don’t attack him not necessarily because of the funds or the money he hasn’t paid me, I attacked him because he has not brought development to Bolga. In fact, where Bolga was, is the same way bolga has been, he hasn’t added anything”.

“We need the type of Peter Ayinbisa as MCE in the Bolgatanga Municipality,–NDC Communication member
A member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) communication team in the Bolgatanga Municipality of the Upper East Region Abdallah Salifu has said, the Bolgatanga Municipality needs the type of Peter Ayinbisa of Bongo District to bring development in the Municipality. Mr. Salifu made the pronouncement during an exclusive interview with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnews Gh. According to him, the work of MMDCEs shouldn’t be seen as a spending officer job, but rather a job to more creative and anxious of looking for development in and outside the region for the betterment of the Municipality. He further sighted examples with the acting DCE for Bongo District Peter Ayinbisa who he said has been working hard by way of searching for development outside his district office far away in Accra. “We need the type of Peter Ayinbisa as MCE in the Bolgatanga Municipality, we need someone who can operate like him or even operate more than him, someone who can go to Accra and lobby for projects, and someone who knows the ministers and the Ministers know him. We don’t need someone who will only sit and wait for funds to come and he became a spending officer. When you do that, you are killing the Assembly. We want someone who has revenue-generating skills”. Meanwhile, he insisted that Bolgatanga as a Municipality has the capacity to generate its own revenue to develop the Municipality.

Bandits with military-grade weapons planning to launch attack in Bolga and Tamale
Ghana Police Service has warned of a planned attack by some Burkina Faso-based bandits in communities within the Bolgatanga townships and their environs including areas in Tamale in the coming days. The Police in a wireless message said it suspects the bandits are in possession of military-grade weapons and may have already infiltrated Ghana at yet to be identified locations in the Northern region. The Police noted that the bandits are poised to launch the attacks any moment from now and has, therefore, directed its commanders to increase patrols to quell the planned attacks. The warning comes on the back of concerns over the state of insecurity in the country. On Monday, 14 June 2021, three armed men on two motorbikes with unidentified registration numbers attacked and robbed a Nissan bullion van with registration number GT 8592 W with the inscription Montran Company. A policeman aboard was shot dead by the robbers. The driver was left injured. The James Town District Police Command rushed to the crime scene and found the said van parked in the middle of Adedenko metal market road with the glasses of three doors shattered. The body of the murdered policeman identified as Constable Emmanuel Osei of the National SWAT unit, was found in a puddle of blood at the front seat. The police said the driver, known only as wisdom, was not met at the scene. Onlookers led the police to a wooden structure where the body of one Afua Badu, about 40 years old, was found lying in a prone position in a puddle of blood. The police said their enquiries revealed she was pursued and shot by the robbers for raising an alarm. The police also located an official, Grace Essel, who escaped from the van unhurt and took refuge in the community. She has been sent to the police hospital for treatment. The two bodies were conveyed to the police hospital morgue for preservation and autopsy. The police said they have gathered information that the robbers made away with the AK 47 rifle of the deceased policeman and an unspecified amount of money.
