Nabdam’s Loyalty Deserves More–Chief Naab Bileehsong Lagwonht Tells NDC Leadership
Chief Naab Bileehsong Lagwonht of Kontibtaabig, under the Sakote Traditional Area, delivered a powerful and unvarnished message to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the party’s Thank You Tour, led by National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah on Monday. Addressing the crowd, Chief Lagwonht emphasized Nabdam’s decades-long support for the NDC, stating, “The people of Nabdam have sacrificed for the governing party for 26 years, yet there is little to show for our loyalty.” With remarkable candor, the Chief highlighted how close the NDC came to losing the Nabdam parliamentary seat to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and singled out Honorable Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane for special recognition. “He used his own resources to repair our broken roads, like the Yakuti Road, which we now enjoy. Snatching the seat from the NPP and winning by 3,000 votes deserves commendation,” he noted. Drawing wisdom from a local bishop, Chief Lagwonht remarked, “If you walk in the light, everything will be in your glory. Nabdam has walked in the light of the NDC for almost 26 years, but what we are receiving is not what we envisioned.” The Chief did not shy away from pointing out unfulfilled promises, such as the poor state of the Assamese Road. He also praised Honorable Asiedu Nketiah as a true grassroots leader: “I admire you from afar. You are the one who took the floor yesterday. Nabdam deserves more because we have always voted for you.” Chief Lagwonht reminded the NDC of repeated, unanswered appeals for development: “Even when you visited to support another party, our advice was not heeded. I trust your next minister will consider Nabdam.” He drew attention to the abandoned Agenda 111 hospital project and the struggles of local farmers. “Our people are mostly farmers. The NPP promised One Village One Dam, but did you see it? We ask for at least three major dams for dry-season farming, so our people have opportunities and won’t be forced into other things.” Water scarcity remains a serious concern. “While the DCE and Regional Minister have made efforts, like providing 74 boreholes, it is not enough. Water is life. We need more,” the Chief stressed. In closing, Chief Naab Bileehsong Lagwonht challenged the NDC to take concrete action. “Analyze our situation and address our issues. These are the challenges confronting us. Nabdam deserves more for our loyalty. Trust us and keep us in your good books.” Source: Apexnewsgh.com
Nabdam DCE Shares Projects Shaping the District’s Future
When the General Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, arrived in Nabdam District on his Thank You Tour, the atmosphere was charged with pride and anticipation. The people gathered not just to welcome a leader, but to reflect on a journey, one shaped by unity, resilience, and a shared vision for a better future. Standing before the crowd, the District Chief Executive, Mr. Francis Tobig Yenwona, spoke with conviction. He reminded the people that the strides made in Nabdam were no coincidence. They were, he emphasized, the direct result of collective discipline, focused leadership, and the guiding vision of John Dramani Mahama. For him, unity was not just a word, it was the backbone of the district’s transformation. He painted a vivid picture of progress, beginning with healthcare. At Soaliga, a Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound was steadily taking shape, promising to bring essential medical care closer to the people. In Gundork, a newly completed maternity ward stood ready to serve mothers and newborns, a symbol of life and hope. The crowd responded with applause as Mr. Francis highlighted these milestones, describing them as proof of meaningful, people-centered governance. Beyond healthcare, development stretched into sanitation and infrastructure. In Pelingu, a modern toilet facility with an attached shower system had been completed, while similar projects were underway in Kongo and Nangode. Cleanliness, he reminded them, was not just a necessity but a reflection of dignity and public health. Education, too, remained a pillar of the district’s growth. A kindergarten block in Nkunziese had been completed, while a junior high school in Damulogo neared completion. Quoting Nelson Mandela, Mr. Francis reaffirmed that education was the most powerful tool for change, an investment Nabdam was determined to make for its future generations. Development efforts extended to solving local challenges as well. To address the issue of stray livestock, a dedicated animal farm had been completed and was ready for commissioning. Water access had improved significantly, with fifteen boreholes drilled and five mechanized systems constructed, bringing relief to many communities. Meanwhile, a modern slaughterhouse in Kongo stood as a beacon of innovation, combining hygienic food processing with environmental sustainability through the use of a biodigester. Yet, amid the celebration of achievements, Mr. Francis did not ignore the district’s struggles. He spoke candidly about the growing number of unemployed graduates and called for urgent interventions to create opportunities for the youth. He also highlighted the poor condition of key roads, particularly the stretch from Gane-Asongin through Pelingu to Sakoti, urging swift government action. Looking ahead, he stressed the importance of agriculture, calling for the establishment of a Famine Service Centre as the farming season approached. He also pointed to the need for expanded rural electrification, expressing confidence that every community would soon be connected. As his speech drew to a close, Mr. Francis left the crowd with a powerful message. Nabdam, he declared, remained steadfast, committed, loyal, and ready to contribute massively to the progress of both party and nation. The Thank You Tour, in that moment, became more than a political event. It was a living story of a district in motion, honest about its challenges, proud of its progress, and united in its pursuit of a brighter tomorrow. Source: Apexnewsgh.com

Mr. Chiragia also underscored the crucial importance of supporting the NDC parliamentary candidate, Simon Aworigo, on ballot number 2, alongside casting votes for John Dramani Mahama for president on ballot number 8. He warned that simply voting for the presidential candidate without also supporting the parliamentary candidate would not fully benefit the constituency.

And if Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia calls him an empty barrel, we are waiting for him”. “So, they should know we have a dossier of Bawumia and when we start opening Pandora’s box, Bawumia cannot walk around in peace”.

25,000 Youth to be Recruited Into Security Services Under 24hrs Economy Policy–Brogya Genfi
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) announced an ambitious plan to transform Ghana’s economy. The NDC’s Deputy Director of Special Duties, Brogya Genfi, revealed the party’s vision for a 24-hour economy aimed at creating job opportunities for the country’s youth. Apexnewsgh reports The plan involved implementing a three-shift system in factories to allow more people to work and prosper.

This initiative was designed to offer employment opportunities for those who sought to serve in the security sector. In a groundbreaking move, John Mahama, the flagbearer of the NDC, selected a woman as his running mate, setting the stage for Ghana’s first female Vice President.

General Mosquito Inspires Navrongo Central with Compelling Unity Parable
National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, recently shared a thought-provoking parable with the people of Naaga community in Navrongo Central. Apexnewsgh reports He told the story of four donkeys tied together by a farmer, with food placed just out of reach. The first two donkeys struggled and died trying to access the food simultaneously. However, the remaining two donkeys learned from their mistake and decided to eat one after the other, ultimately surviving. Asiedu Nketiah used this parable to convey a crucial message to NDC members: unity and patience are key to success. He emphasized that every position will be contested, but only one person can win. Instead of fighting and potentially losing everything, members should support the chosen candidate to ensure the party’s victory. By working together and taking turns, NDC members can achieve their goals and secure parliamentary representation. This message is particularly relevant ahead of the 2024 elections, as the NDC seeks to regain power. Asiedu Nketiah’s leadership and guidance will play a significant role in shaping the party’s strategy and unity.

Instead, by visiting individual communities, Asiedu Nketiah aims to gain a deeper understanding of their needs. This approach enables him to be a witness to the challenges faced by the community, which will be crucial when their Member of Parliament presents development proposals to the government. Asiedu Nketiah assured the community that he will advocate for their needs and support their development. As the newly elected National Chairman of the NDC, Asiedu Nketiah is focused on strategizing to bring the party into power.

By engaging with community members and listening to their concerns, the national chairman hopes to inspire change and bring about a better future for the people of Navrongo. However, he further advised the people of Naaga and the entire Navrongo Central to vote for their 2024 Parliamentary Candidate Simon Aworigo and former President John Dramani Mahama.
