Bongo NPP: Our mission to Accra was to resolve issues which largely remained unresolved–NPP Executives

Executives of the New Patriotic Party in the Bongo Constituency have disassociated themselves from the accusations of attempting to remove their District Chief Executive as posted by Wilson Dabuo, a party member. Apexnewsgh.com report According to Wilson Dabuo in a Meta post on Friday, August 26, 2022, he accused the Bongo Constituency Executives of what he says is an attempt to remove District Chief Executive Rita Atanga from office. Mr. Dabuo additionally pointed a finger at the former District Chief Executive Peter Ayinbisa for being the brain behind the DCE’s removal agenda. However, responding to the accusation, the Bongo Constituency Executives of the governing New Patriotic Party said, their mission in going to Accra was not to remove Miss Rita Atanga from her position as Bongo DCE but to resolve the misunderstanding between the DCE and the party Executives which they said, is currently affecting the party growth and unity in the area. Read the full statement: PRESS STATEMENT For immediate released To: All media Houses The attention of the Constituency Secretariat of the New Patriotic Party in Bongo has been drawn to a piece authored by Wilson Dabuo. The said piece is captioned as “Peter Ayinbisa Ayamga: The Problem of Bongo Constituency has now become the Problem of the Region’s Communication Team. An Avoidable Bad Omen”. As much as we would have wanted to ignore this loose cannon, we are reluctantly responding to his piece of scraps to reassure our numerous members in the Constituency that we were elected as officers to work for the interest of the Party and we are prepared to do just that. Aside, it is increasingly becoming clear that, Wilson Dabuo is an imposter with an unbridled ego who is always ready to throw tantrums at any person and anywhere once few cowries are thrown at him. We are aware of his love for money and the use of his persona as a vehicle to denigrate others at any beck and call, however, the extent at which he goes about it nowadays is a disgrace to the youth and the Institution in which he is currently working under. The public would recall that in 2019, this same Wilson was suspended from NPP Regional Communication Team for making baseless statements and virtually denigrating the persona of former deputy Upper East Regional Minister and then member of parliament for Zebilla, Hon. Frank Adongo Fuseini. As one of the spokespersons of our respected party, one would expect that he would exude the highest level of discipline, accuracy and sense of maturity to reflect the goodwill and image of the New Patriotic Party. Though he later apologized and was subsequently recalled to the team, one thing that is not recalled off him is his penchant to say anything once the thoughts money crosses his mind. Once again, he is at it because of his perception that he has been deprived of money. It is not our duty as Constituency Executives to respond to issues concerning the Regional Communication Team and what happened during the President’s recent visit to the region, however, the deliberate dragging and wanton denigration of the Constituency Chairman and Executives’ hard-earned reputation in the mud in that manner is what we wish to address. It is of public knowledge that, the Bongo Constituency Executives disagreed with certain decisions taken by the District Chief Executive which does not engender trust and unity among the rank and file of the Constituency. Several efforts to have such issues resolved at the constituency level proved futile. Subsequently, such issues were escalated to the regional level by the Constituency Executives in our bid to address such problems between us and the Hon DCE. As much as the Regional Executives together with the Hon Regional Minister tried in resolving the issues, same remained largely unresolved to the extent that, the Constituency Executives cannot have a meeting without armed thugs from the Hon DCE disrupting them. Matters involving political thuggery are not only affecting the cohesion of the Party in the Constituency but the general operation and development of the District. It is of great worry to every citizen and more especially members of the District Assembly that as at now, the District is yet to organize an Assembly session to elect a Presiding Member for business of the Assembly to go on. It will only take members with tainted love for the Party like the likes of Wilson not see this as concern that needs urgent resolution. As Executives elected to the further course of the Party, we see it very worrying and repugnant to the antecedence of our tradition of rule of law for an Assembly not to have organize any Assembly meeting as yet. Hence, as an interested group and a major stakeholder in the developmental discourse of the District, we will take every necessary step including but not limited to, our recent visit to Local Government Minister’s Office to have the issues confronting Bongo resolved. To do this and have a member who claimed to have much love for the Party describing this constitutionally bound duty of ours, as an assortment to an individual (Peter Ayinbisa Ayamga) interest is most distasteful and mind boggling. It must be put on record without hesitation that the Hon Former DCE, Ayinbisa Peter was not part of the delegation. We are grown enough and well educated to dance to the tune of an individual. Again, the claim by Wilson that, the Constituency Executives are seeking the removal of the Hon. DCE only demonstrates his character of spewing out lies mostly driven by motives other than genuineness. The Constituency Executives have always maintained that, they prefer the path of working peacefully with the DCE for the good of the Party in the Constituency to her dismissal. For want of a better word, the Constituency Executives have NEVER asked for the DCE to be removed from her position. Regarding the claim that, the Executives were denied access to the His Excellency, Vice President

BONGO: Telling Citizens of Bongo That Coronavirus Doesn’t Exist Clearly Means You Have No Message- Bongo NPP To Edward Bawa

The Constituency office of the New Patriotic Party in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region has responded to what they described as cruel and callous claims contained in a video in circulation in which the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bongo Constituency, Edward Bawa was captured campaigning in the means of some community people seriously knocking the peoples head against the government following their action with the global Covid-19 pandemic on citizens and school children. According to the Viral Video in circulation, the MP was captured accusing the government of deliberately closing down schools due to her inability to pay fees meant for the free Senior High School policy and using the Covid-19 as a cover up. Here are some of his pronouncements. “EDWARD BAWA: if it is true that coronavirus is where people are always crowded, why is it that, they lifted the ban for people to be going for funerals? If you are comparing school to funeral houses, which one normally contains many people? People responded Funeral… EDWARD BAWA: why is it that today, people are allowed to gather for a political campaign? EDWARD BAWA: There must be a reason why they lifted the ban for funerals and not schools” He stressed The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Bongo Constituency appeared disappointed by such pronouncements coming from an MP who should know better. According to them, it is difficult for one to understand why an MP will look at the faces of his own constituents and lied that this global sickness called corona virus does not exist despite the devastating havoc it has cause on the lives and health of people across the world. “Many countries have their educational institutions closed down for several months now and some including France and England have recently tried reopening their schools but closed them down again only after a week or two. Economies across the globe are not spared either and many western countries are considering a second lockdown due to the very recent spikes in infection. No country has been spared on the havocs occasioned as a result of this global deadly pandemic. Indeed, Ghana has managed the situation very well to the admiration the World Health Organization and has since been placed third globally after China and Sri Lanka of countries that managed the situation very well as a result of the sterling leadership of His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.”   Below are the full deatails: PRESS CONFERENCE ORGANISED BY THE NEW PATRIOTIC PARTY, BONGO CONSTITUENCY ON THE HONOURABLE MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT ON HIS CLAIMS OF NON-EXISTENCE OF COVID 19 PANDEMIC ON WEDNESDAY 18TH NOVEMBER, 2020. Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen of the media. On behalf of the Parliamentary Candidate, the Chairman and the Constituency Executives and indeed the entire membership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Bongo Constituency, I welcome you all to this press conference. We convey our sincerest appreciation to you for honoring our invitation to this press conference though at a very short notice. We the NPP deem it fit and indeed a call to duty to talk to the good people of Bongo through you in furtherance of our civic responsibility to protect the health of all Boosi (indigence and residence of Bongo) in particular and the country as a whole. We believe that, a healthy people will make a stronger nation. It is based on the above that we are organizing this press conference to respond to a rather cruel and callous claims contain in a video in circulation in which our supposedly Honorable MP, Edward Bawa is heard dishonorably telling a gathering of people that the global Covid-19 pandemic does not exist. He went ahead and accused the government of deliberately closing down schools due to her inability to pay fees meant for the free Senior High School policy and using the Covid-19 as a cover up. For the avoidance of doubt, we will play the said video to you at the end of the conference which has been widely shared on various social media platforms. Nonetheless, I will try to paraphrase what the MP said in the video. “They say children should not go to school because of Corona Virus which they say thrives on crowded areas. I agree, but if that were the case, why have they allowed funerals to be performed. Funeral grounds and schools, which place is more crowded”. And the people responded, funerals. He continues, ‘’how come they allowed a crowded gathering like ours here whilst schools remain closed. There is a reason to this. As we speak today, didn’t they say no parent should pay for his or her child’s school fees any longer? If children are not allowed to go to school, will we pay their fees? The crowd again responded ‘No’. ‘’that’s the reason we are not paying fees any longer, is it not education that enables me to stand before you and talk? It is not always our prayer that our children will be successful through education to be able to care for us in the future. But what is more painful is the deliberate denial of children’s right to education today. Today our daughters and sisters are sitting with us and those of them who can’t hold themselves properly are becoming pregnant. And we now see children giving birth to children. Do you know why I said children are giving birth to children? The teenage girl, who gave birth, is a child herself. Now a child carrying a child at her back, both are now children moving about. What is even more painful is that they (referring to people in government) are able to bring teachers to teach their wards in their houses while we the poor children are wasting away”. Ladies and gentlemen of the media, these are words coming from no other person but Hon. Edward Bawa, the MP for Bongo Constituency who is being paid by the taxpayers which he is deceiving.

Video: Poster war between NPP and NDC in Bongo

There has been growing tension between the youth of the two main political parties in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region. A viral video which was seen by Apexnewsgh.com captures the moment of some youth believed to be in the Bongo District were spotted removing the campaign flyer of President Akufo Akufo-Addo.   According to the information reaching Apexnewsgh.com, the youth were actually removing the flyer of the president to make Edward Abambire Bawa’s flyer more visible all because they alleged that he was the first to have his flyer on the said billboard. Edward Abambire Bawa happens to be a Ghanaian politician and member of the Seventh Parliament of the Fourth Republic of Ghana representing the Bongo Constituency in the Upper East Region on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress. The video which has gone viral has also caused some tension between the fans of the 2 main political parties. Some were actually of the view that they had no right to do that and that it was totally illegal and should be arrested for their actions whilst others were of the view that the whole campaign picture should have been pulled down. However, the paramount Chief of the Bongo traditional area Bon-Naba Baba Salifu Atamale Lemyurum has advised the two parties to remove their posters from the billboard to allow peace prevail in the constituency. video attached   Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana/Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen Please kindly contact APEXNEWSGH on Email: apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible News publications
