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. The MP told Apexnewsgh.com
