“We the BONABOTO zone are not united in terms of development”. This is according to an angry resident from the BONABOTO zone Ibrahim Aneribazanga an NDC Communication Officer for the Bolgatanga East Constituency. Apexnewsgh.com report The NDC Communication Officer shared his opinion during an engagement on Apexnews Ghana’s flagship development programme dubbed “SPEAKOUT UPPER EAST REGION” with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen on Monday, October 24, 2022. Meanwhile, pointing out issues of development bothering the region, he sighted the Upper East Regional airport brouhaha as one good example of disunity among people from the BONABOTA zone. “If this particular airport was supposed to be situated in the Western part of the Upper East, by this time it would have gotten the necessary attention. All leaders would have come in, they would have thrown away their parochial and self-interest and gathered to make sure the project is situated in their area. If it was situated in the Eastern part of the region, the Bawku side, they would have thrown away all their differences, their political differences, their interest differences and make sure that the airport is situated”. He stressed Mr. Aneribazanga who couldn’t hide his feelings when expressing his opinion says, he is disappointed with the posture exhibited by the people from the BONABOTO Zone toward the airport project. “In Upper East, we the BONABOTO zone and I mean Bolga, Nangodi, Bongo and Tongo, I must say I am disappointed. Because such is a very nice project, and you are playing with it in the name of Sumbrungu and sherigu. Is it that we want the project or we don’t want it? He asked He insisted that when the then Minister of Aviation the late Kofi Adda try pulling back the project to the Western part of the Upper East, they BONABOTO Zone were still there fighting between Sumbrungu and Sherigu. Stressing that “If all the BONABOTO zone have stood their ground and said it is Sumbrungu by this time we would have finished with the airport”. However, Mr. Aneribazanga said, it will be a waste of time to blame the NPP or NDC for their regrettable predicament on the airport drama, insisting that they must swallow the blame themselves because they have allowed politicians to play political football on them. “We have allowed ourselves to be played like a political football by politicians, I won’t blame the NPP or the NDC on this we must blame ourselves from the BONABOTO zone. I must say it. Because this is a project that is going to bring about development”.
