Youth, men and women of the Navrongo Constituency in both home and abroad have intensified their calls for their son Gregory Abasang to represent the people of Navrongo under the ticket of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 Parliamentary elections. Apexnewsgh.com report
According to the people, they believe Mr. Abasang will be a good replacement for the party and the people of Navrongo after the death of their political hero and the former Aviation Minister late Joseph Kofi Adda.
However, upon hearing all these calls from the good people of Navrongo and knowing the political history about area, Apexnewsgh.com contacted Mr. Abasang for his urgent response following the continuous calls from his people to lead them in 2024 he said: “I was thinking it was too early for people to start looking for somebody to represent them in Parliament because there is an already sitting MP in Parliament”.
According to him, “…the party is very important and bigger than any other person. NPP from the history since the formation of the party in 1992, the only disgraceful election we ever had in Navrongo, is the 2020 election due to hearsay. And that is what am thinking about how to resolve it and am consulting almost everybody in the constituency by way of telling them to sit up and leave everything behind us. Because we need to unite on the condition that we love the party and no matter how it is, NPP is greater than individual interest”. He said
He said most times, people don’t understand that “As an MP, you are your people’s messenger if you understand and is not your duty to be telling them how rich you are. You must go and lobby for projects for your constituency to serve the people. So, it is wrong for an MP to always tell his constituents that he or she brought so and so development and if you don’t vote for him, he will deal with you. The MPs easily forgot that, is the poor boy, poor woman and our poor fathers and mothers who always give them the opportunity to represent us in Parliament”. He pointed
Meanwhile, responding to those asking him to lead them in 2024, he said the voice of the people is the voice of God. But, stressing he has not made a decision yet.
However, he thinks the senior men and women who should rather lead the party not him (Gregory) the poor boy. He wish they all come together and forget of incoming candidate but rather should look forward for good measures to unite the party in Navrongo.
