In what sounded like a brotherly advice to a colleague politician, the laughter and roar that accompanied it could make it look like a mockery and disapproval. Yes! A very discouraging and ‘stomach running’ statement from an astute politician can cause one to give up in life. And this one is not different. Former Member of Parliament for the Nabdam Constituency in the Upper East Region Hon. Moses Asaga has called on Mr. Boniface Gambila to forget returning to Parliament this year again. He said Mr. Boniface Gambila cannot be the MP for Nabdam any day. He has therefore called on him to come so that they could enjoy their pension benefits as former MPs. Hon. Asaga was addressing thousands of NDC sympathizers during a Youth Walk at Sekoti. “I want you to tell Gambila that Moses Saa Dok says he should come so that we can spend the pension money. So he should allow the smart and energetic person to be our MP. So he should come so that he and Moses Saa Dok who are age mates and also a former MP spend our pension together. So he shouldn’t bother himself engaging in political campaigns.’’ Hon. Asaga counselled. Hon. Moses Asaga is the immediate past Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority. He served as MP of the area from 1996 till he lost it to Boniface Gambila in 2012. The walk was organized by the youth of the Sekoti enclave to drum home the need to retain the Member of Parliament of the area, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane for another four years. This according to them is due to the fact that he has taken the development of Nabdam like his personal home. They also called on the people of the area to vote massively for John Dramani Mahama as President in the December general elections to save their children from dropping out of school. David Dong, a convener of the youth questioned Boniface Gambila that “what legacy do you have as a former MP in Nabdam and you think you deserve to return to Parliament? Do not give your vote out to Boniface because of GHc5.00. The youth of Sekoti are poised to supporting people with development conscience.” The incumbent MP who arrived in the company of Tetteh Zure (constituency chairman) James Tenga (communications officer) Damian Azong (treasurer), Ambrose Yambire (Election Director) among other top shots of the party walked through the principal streets of Ndanbooh through Nyogbare-Benzure-Nabokin to Kotintaabig-Kugrin and ended at Sekoti Senior High School. He commended the youth for the initiative to mobilize themselves to support him to win the elections. He encouraged them to be on guard and campaign vigorously for victory come December 7. He also assured them of Mr. Mahama’s manifesto pledge of making primary health care free for Ghanaians should he win the December polls.

Your respect for the Chieftaincy Institution is outstanding—Paramount Chief of Nangodi to President Akufo Addo
The Paramount Chief of Nangodi Naba Yelzoya Asaga II has shown appreciation of praises to the President of the Republic His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo for his loyalty and respect to the chieftaincy institution in the country. The chief who was excited during the reading of his welcome address to the President narrated how President Akufo Addo has conducted himself anytime he had the opportunity to meet with him in Accra. “We are indeed grateful and deeply humbled to have you in our midst. Your presence is an excellent demonstration of your outstanding respect for the chieftaincy institution. I remember the first time I met you in Accra for a programme about illegal mining when you were entering, your agents wanted to receive you as President of who you are. But I remembered when you came in, you were eager to let chiefs sit, even though we continue to give you the respects that was due you, that is your attitude and anytime I have met, that always what I saw you, that has shown that you indeed respect and regards chieftaincy and that is what I mean by your outstanding regards for the chieftaincy institution.” He said According to Naba Yelzoya Asaga II, Nabdam has not been left out in the share of the national cake. He was satisfied to inform the president that all his good policies, such as NABO, One District One Warehouse (1D1W), Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ), etc are poverty alleviated policies which in one way or the other have to benefit the ordinary citizens of Nabdam. “His Excellency, I am pleased to inform you that Nabdam has got its own share of the national cake of which we are grateful. If you are observant, you can see around you we have placards indicating what we have received from you, we are grateful. We have also the past three years witnessed the implementation of several developmental projects, notable among which are the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ), Nation Builder Corps (NABCO) Youth in Aforestation, One Village One Dam (1V1D), One constituency One ambulance (1C1A), One District One warehouse (1D1W) which you just finished commissioning a while ago.” He stated According to the Nabdam Chief, Nabdam has been known as a largely farming community, interventions of this nature will go a long way to enhance their livelihood. He extended appreciation to the president for the Minibus he provided to the only Senior High Secondary School and also the pick up to the District Education Directorate. However, like Oliver Twist, Naba Yelzoya appeals to the president for an ultra-modern office complex for the District Education Directorate and a pick up for the Kongo Senior High to enhance education in the district. “Also worth noting, is our initiating of a community base Senior High School in Nalerigu and Sakoti which are been challenged with the implementation of the Senior High School policy, we will therefore be grateful if the Ministry of Education will fully adopt these schools to prevent their collapse.” He pleaded The Nabdam Chief made these pronouncement during the President two day tour in the Upper East Region.
