Citizens of the Binduri district of the Upper East Region led by the governing NPP Philip Ayamba have cautioned the President to be mindful of who to appoint as his representative for the people of Binduri in his second term in office.
According to the citizens of Binduri, their contention is that Mr. Ayinga Abagri worked so hard during the first term of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and that endeared the people of the District/ Constituency who expressed their gratitude by voting for the NPP’s Parliamentary Candidate in the December 2020 Election.
Weeks after the general election, the party executives hurriedly appealed for the President to retain Mr. Ayinga Abagre Yakubu, District Chief Executive (DCE) for Binduri.
A statement signed by Constituency Chairman Ayaago Samuel and sixteen others said the allegiance and unity accorded the constituency by Mr. Abanga Abdulai and Mr. Abagre Yakubu is unparalleled and thus, convinced the two will offer unflinching support to his government both at the top level and at the grassroots.
“As far as election 2020 is concerned, the two gentlemen in the Constituency have proven themselves worthy of being part of your government as they were working tirelessly with the grassroots to ensure that we in the NPP snatched the seat from the NDC party and they, Honorable Abanga Abdulai (MP) and Honourable Ayinga Abagre Yakubu, (DCE) were the brains behind this feat,” the executives said in a statement.
An assertion the citizens of Binduri described as been far from the truth.
Per the 2016 & 2020 election results figures attached on the press statement issued on 2nd March 2021 by Citizen of Binduri, Mr. Abagri lost his polling station to NDC, and to them, that is a clear indication showing that he worked behind the scene to undermine the Party’s campaign in the constituency.
Several things can be mentioned to support the position that Mr. Ayinga Abagri worked against the campaign of the Party in the constituency.
According to Citizens of Binduri, “the real contributors to the electoral victory of Honorable Abdulai Abanga and NPP in Binduri are, the unity with which Party Elders & Patrons most of whom came from Binduri Central brought to bear on the campaign, key Party individuals who have always played significant roles in the affairs of the NPP in the Binduri Constituency, the resolute Youth from the Binduri Community who after heeding to the advice of some committed patrons of the Party decided to very strongly come out to campaign for both the President and the then PC (Hon. Abdulai Abanga), and the highly commendable role played by various Election &Votes Collation Day’s Party Agents including most especially the IT Co-ordination Team”.
However, they have registered their displeasure indicating that, if Mr. Ayinga Abagri is mistakenly retained as the DCE for the district, they the Binduri people will resist such appointment to the fullest.
Meanwhile, they extended their appreciation to the President for appointing their illustrious Son Stephen Yakubu as the Upper East Regional Minister.
