The founder of the National Liberation Congress (NLC) Stephen Atubiga has revealed that Upper East Region is not developed because the people are good at pulling themselves down than helping one another.
Mr. Atubiga made the pronouncement during an engagement on Apexnewsgh.com dubbed; SPEAKOUT UPPER EAST’ on Friday, January 13, 2023, a developmental programme introduced to look into issues that bother on development in the region.
The underdevelopment in the region has become a headache to most patriotic citizens who want the Upper East as one of the oldest regions to be a better place. Things that are known to be common in some other regions in Ghana such as airports, sports stadiums, passport offices etc, cannot be seen in the Upper east region.
Meanwhile, asking the NLC founder Mr. Atubiga his view on the worrying situation bedeviling the region’s development, he said:
“Is unfortunate that we come from a region people are good at pulling each other down than helping others, a region where we don’t pick each other like the way the southerners do to their people. We are from a region, very poor and we are the best to stab each other in the back. We are from a region where, instead of supporting a neighbor, we support a neighbor because we think we want to have some benefit in a particular political party. We are from a region where we are very wicked to our own selves. The best thing we want to see is when our northern brother fails. We are not united, we have put that brotherly love aside, and everybody cares about their stomach”. He stressed
He further added “Territorial interest is also what is killing us. If you look at the region, chieftaincy issues which has transcended down and if we are not careful, because of the intermarriages, Upper east will be left behind”.
A young man has no future for anyone to look up to in our region because you are not his child. They have allowed our pocket to determine who to sit with.
