A youth group in the Binduri constituency of the Upper East Region affiliated to the New Patriotic Party has called on the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo, to consider promoting the District Chief Executive, Hon. Ayinga Abagre Yakubu in his next government as a reward for his hard work which won the NPP its only seat in the region.
The group which has its members drawn from all the 12 Electoral Areas and all the 87 polling stations in the constituency in a press conference organised in the regional capital of the Upper East Region, justified their call following the hard work of the District Chief Executive which resulted in the parliamentary victory of the party in the constituency.
“The success story of Hon. Ayinga Abagre Yakubu in the district is the results we have delivered in the just ended General elections in Binduri which warranted our conviction and enthusiasm to appeal to good conscience and to you Mr. President, in particular, to promote Hon. Ayinga Abagre Yakubu.”
The group highlighted the many achievements of the Hon. Ayinga Yakubu as reasons which make him suitable for a higher position.
“We are proud young men and women of the Binduri state and very much optimistic about the leadership prowess of the Honourable District Chief Executive, Hon. Ayinga Abagre Yakubu. Politics it is thought to be, is all about development and decisiveness in the lives of people. This Honourable man that we support today has shown his love and enthusiasm for progressive society and as tomorrow’s people we find a consolation in him and feel the edge to let the President know that if all other people in the Upper East Region have failed him, the chiefs and people of Binduri, because of the hard work of Hon. Ayinga Abagre Yakubu, have not let him down. Hon. Ayinga Abagre Yakubu has done a great job in the area of our roads, education, health, agriculture, water and sanitation, security, local economic development and energy, and many more, all in fulfillment of central government policies.”
The NPP for the first time since the creation of the constituency Binduri, won the parliamentary elections in the 2020 general election where Mr. Abanag was elected the member of parliament.
Mr. Abanga Abdulai pulled 15,016 to beat the incumbent, Robert Baba Kuganab-lem of the NDC who pulled 14,562 and Ayeeda Ayebilla who pulled 999 votes.
Binduri is the only constituency out of the 15 that has an NPP Member of Parliament after the 2020 general elections.
This, the Binduri NPP Youth believe was as a result of the hard work of the DCE, Ayinga Abagre Yakubu.
“we are convinced that he deserve a commendation and for that matter a promotion for good work done.”
The group said a promotion of the Hon DCE for Binduri will be a reward for hard work and will bring honour to the chiefs and people of the constuency.
“This gesture if done on him wouldn’t just be an honest honour onto him as an individual but an honest honour onto the chiefs and people of Binduri and its entirety. Also, it would have been an honour to hard work and therefore an encouragement to we the youths of the great New Patriotic Party”
