A member of the NPP’s Upper East Regional communication team, Johnson Ayine has said, the act of interest self-seeking Chiefs, CSOs, NGOs, Pastors, and Imams in the Upper East Region is a massive contributing factor to the region’s underdevelopment.
Mr. Ayine made the revelation on Apexnewsgh.com flagship program dubbed “SPEAK OUT UPPER EAST” on Wed, September 07, 2022
Responding to the question from the host of the program Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen on issues bedeviling development in the region, Mr. Ayine said some identifiable groups in the region enjoy visiting the President, Vice President, and Ministers of State individually for their own selfish interests and parochial interest without considering development for the regionHe asked “How many times have you seen Upper East either at NDC or NPP administration, how many times have you seen these identifiable groups either traditional rulers, pastors, Imams, Civil Society Organizations moving up and down meeting President or those in various ministries to demand development in our region, how many times? When they visit our region our chiefs, and imams went there individually, the religious leaders went there individually, our CSOs and what have you, and some of them went there individually. How many of them will say, let us go there with one voice and demand what is due us? He quizzed
Sighting an example, he said BONABOTO and TEERE as a group were able to come together and succeeded in getting the people of Upper East Gurune language into GES as a learning language.
“For the Gurune Language was executed by BONABOTO and TEERE Mr. Avea’s NGO and the government listened and that tells you that when we come together as a people and demand for something, the government will listen. When my father delegated his sub-chiefs Dorongo Naaba, Kalbeo Naaba, myself, and some other persons to Dr. Bawumia to talk about this road, he listened. So, that is what we are supposed to be doing”. He stressed
