We Want a Neutral Referee–Jonathan Abdallah Salifu Stressed

Abdallah Salifu, Upper East Regional Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has emphasized the party’s desire for a neutral referee in the upcoming 2024 elections. Apexnewsgh reports Speaking to Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of ApexnewsGh, Salifu stressed that the Electoral Commission (EC) must ensure a fair and transparent process for a peaceful election. The NDC has been vocal about its concerns with the EC, citing several issues that need attention. One major concern is the addition of 38 people from Tamale South to the Pusiga constituency, which Salifu believes is not a mere mistake. Furthermore, the party has detected over 249,000 names added to the voter register without accountability and 15,000 names transferred between constituencies without proper documentation. Mr. Salifu views these irregularities as manipulation by the EC, led by Jean Mensah, which he claims is biased towards the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). The NDC is seeking transparency and accountability, emphasizing that a neutral referee is essential for a fair election. The party’s concerns come ahead of the December 7, 2024, presidential and parliamentary elections, with former President John Dramani Mahama urging stakeholders, including the EC, to ensure a free and fair process. As tensions rise, the NDC’s demand for neutrality highlights the importance of trust in Ghana’s electoral system.

NDC Regional Communication Officer Condemns Members in Controversial Oath swearing Video

Jonathan Abdallah Salifu, Upper East Regional Communication Officer, has refuted allegations regarding the recent viral video in which Elvis Afriyie Ankrah and several party members were seen swearing an oath with their lives and those of their innocent children in the name of politics. Salifu maintains that their actions do not align with the party’s ideology. The video has sparked significant criticism from the Ghanaian public, who have raised numerous questions about its implications. Salifu, a respected member of the party, expressed his disapproval of Afriyie Ankrah’ behavior, stating that he felt it was unnecessary to go to such extremes. Salifu noted that it would be more fitting for their work and actions to demonstrate their loyalty to the party, rather than taking such drastic measures. Salifu further explained that there may have been underlying issues stemming from the internal contest preceding the national elections in which trust became a concern. Specifically, there were concerns about the handling of results collation and declaration during Afriyie Ankrah’s tenure as the Director of Elections in 2020. According to Mr. Salifu, these issues developed a perception that hindered his consideration for the position of general secretary. Promotions within the party are typically contingent on an individual’s performance in their current role. Thus, Elvis was appointed as the Director of Elections, which raised questions regarding his previous performance in that position. Salifu suggests that the controversial video may have been an attempt to address this perception still lingering in people’s minds. However, he emphasizes that Elvis’s actions have crossed a line in his opinion. Meanwhile, while Jonathan Abdallah Salifu acknowledges the underlying concerns surrounding Elvis and his fellow party members, he advocates for a more measured and effective approach to prove loyalty to the party and dispel any doubts or negative perceptions.

NDC Unity in Upper East Region Strengthened by Reconciliation Efforts

In a bid to consolidate party strength and foster unity, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has made significant strides in the Upper East Region. Jonathan Abdallah Salifu, the NDC’s Regional Communication Officer, expressed great optimism following a successful reconciliation exercise conducted by the Regional Executive and the visit of National Chairman Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketiah to the region. Salifu highlighted that the reconciliation efforts extended beyond addressing internal disputes among party members alone. The NDC sought to engage influential opinion leaders, regardless of their affiliation, who could provide valuable support to secure election victories. For instance, if a Member of Parliament (MP) was at odds with a Tindaana (traditional leader) in a specific area, the NDC took it upon themselves to reconcile the two parties involved. It is worth noting that not all of the places visited by the National Chairman were a direct result of the reconciliation exercise. The Chairman chose to visit certain areas in order to encourage the local NDC members, as exemplified by the visit to Garu. In Garu, where peace already reigned, those who contested in the primaries initiated a “Thank You Tour” amongst themselves, further solidifying their unity. However, stated that another reason for visiting the Garu Constituency was as a result of the military brutality which occurred late last year in the area. Stressing that Chairman couldn’t have visited the region without visiting the Garu people. One noteworthy aspect of the recent reconciliation exercise was the opportunity it provided for party foot soldiers to interact directly with the National Chairman. Mr. Asiedu Nketiah ensured that every individual had a chance to voice their concerns, whether at the district, constituency, regional, national, or polling station level. It is important to note that most of the grievances expressed did not pertain to unity since the NDC members already stood united. Salifu expressed strong confidence in the NDC’s ability to make former President John Dramani Mahama proud in the 2024 general election. The National Chairman’s three-day tour of the Upper East Region served as a reaffirmation of his commitment to party solidarity and the continued success of the NDC.

UER: Binduri AstroTurf nicknamed “4 by 4 AstroTurf” by NDC Regional Communication Officer

The Upper East Regional Communication Officer of the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr. Abdallah Salifu described the Astro Turf pitch constructed by Binduri Member of Parliament Abdulai Abanga for his people of Binduri as a 4 by 4 Astro Turf. Apexnewsgh.com reports The Regional Communication Officer Abdallah Salifu made the pronouncement during an engagement with Mr. Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com on Sunday, April 30, 2023. “As for what the current MP is doing, what is it? Is it the Astro Turf? That 4 by 4 Astro Turf he is building? An AstroTurf that has no sitting place for spectators? Asking why he described the Astro Turf 4 by 4, he responded, that the Astro Turf has no sitting place to even match officials”. Mr. Abdallah also accused the Deputy Minister of Works and Housing Mr. Abanga of deceiving the people of Binduri by telling them he bought a wreck for the constituency, when the MP knows the wreck is for his personal and private use. He questioned whether the MP after leaving office will hand over the wreck to the people of Binduri. “Is it because he said, he has bought a wreck for the constituency? That wreck he said he bought is for his own personal use, he speaks as if he used the money for the constituency to buy the wreck, and per my check, is his personal wreck and I don’t know if he will leave the wreck for the constituency. When he leaves the sit today, he is going away with his wreck and currently, the wreck is somewhere in the Upper West working. So, is not a wreck that he has used the Common Fund or any of the statutory funds allocated to him as an MP to buy, is his personal wreck and those things will not change anything, whoever emerges as the winner after the primaries between Dr and Lawyer will definitely have a way. He stressed However, when this platform engaged the Binduri MP, Mr. Abanga, he confirmed the Astro Turf project is funded by an agency. Also, confirming whether the wreck belongs to the people of Binduri as alleged or his personal property. Mr. Abanga responded: The wreck is my personal money, as you can see, I didn’t buy a V-8 like the other MPs have got a V-8. I used part of my loan for the V-8 and my personal resources to buy it because I think the Binduri people need water. Water is a very serious need in Binduri. So, I added money to buy the wreck, is my personal property.

What Binduri MP is doing is a non-starter, past NPP appointees did same and lost to NDC—Abdallah Salifu

The Upper East Regional Communication Officer of the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr. Abdallah Salifu has re-established massive confidence in possibly recapturing the only parliamentary seat captured by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Binduri Constituency. Speaking exclusively to Mr. Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com, the NDC Regional Communication Officer described some of the initiatives embarked so far by the current Binduri Member of Parliament Abdulai Abanga as a non-starter. “If is about what they are doing in that constituency, is a non-starter. In the past, people like Lawyer Kpemka, and Tangoba Abayage who were government appointees just like the current MP for Binduri and people thought picking those seats back from the NPP was going to be a very difficult task but, it turned out to be one of the easiest constituencies we won in 2020”. Explaining what led to their party defeat in 2020 at the Binduri Constituency, he pointed out internal wrangling as the main cause for their defeat”. He explained “Binduri is our stronghold, that our defeat had to do with internal wrangling, that is just all about it. The internal wrangling started from constituency elections and then traveled all the way to the regional election and because we have a very powerful person in Binduri contested also for the regional Chairmanship. So, when he lost, and some of his favorites also lost at the constituency level, it travels to the Parliamentary primary with another candidate and the candidate also lost. So, the anger within them, made them not to work for the NDC. That was why we lost the seat nothing more”. “Currently part of the problem is been resolved and I believe immediately after the primaries, the problem in its entirety will be resolved. You see, they are human beings, they also have reasons and concerns. So, those concerns are been addressed and I believe those concerns will be fully addressed after the primaries, for us to have a very united front in Binduri”. “For the internal wrangling, it happens to both political parties and if you check in the last election our Navrongo candidate was the person who got more votes than President Mahama in Navrongo. “So, it simply tells you that we enjoy some leverage from their internal wrangling and it was all because Kofi Adda died and people thought Madam Tangoba came as an intruder or through the back door to take the seat from them. She is contesting anyway, we here is a contest between Alhaji Abdallah and the current MCE Mr. Joseph Adongo and we are monitoring them closely”.

Binduri: NDC Communicators receives first of kind capacity training

The leadership of the Upper East Regional Communication Bureau of the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) led by Mr. Abdallah Jonathan Salifu has taken party Communicators in Binduri Constituency through a capacity-building workshop. The workshop was organized by the Constituency Communication Officer Counselor Jambeidu Mbawini Sadat and his Deputy Communication Officer Alhassan Hamza. The training program was described as the first of its kind to be organized in the Binduri Constituency, which is the only Orphan Constituency in the region. Meanwhile, addressing participants at the capacity building workshop, the Constituency Communication Officer Mr. Jambeidu said “We need to come together to brainstorm to see how we can work as a team because a Communication team is not an individual work”. “So, I realized that we needed to have some sort of training”. he noted Meanwhile explaining a little about the number of communicators, Mr. Jambeidu said, there are some here already who are members of the communication team and others are joining and in this particular training, people even ask about the numbers, we are going to have two sections under the Communication Bureau. We have a communication team that will go on the radio and do other social media work and we are going to have a research team under the same Communication Bureau because without research, without information we cannot talk about the party achievement much and the research will have a lot of work to do”. He explained He further stressed, “We have to nose within our zones to identify the project NDC have done when we are in government but by next year God willing, we should have a brochure for the constituency that will tell us whatever the NDC has done, so that as a Communication team members when you are going on radio to speak, you will have a working tool”. Mr. Jambeidu was confident that with evidence-based Communication on both radio and social media regarding Binduri Constituency recapturing the lost seat back from the governing NPP is highly possible. However, Mr. Abdallah Jonathan Salifu was supported by Mr. John Paul Danka and Yussif Otumba, both of whom are members of the Upper East Regional Communication Bureau.
