Narration: The Bolgatanga Polytechnic branch of the Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN) has held its swearing in of its new executives at Bolgatanga with a call on NDC party members to be mindful of actions and utterances that have the tendency of creating disunity among the rank and file of the party but rather create healthy avenues to attract more people into the party particularly those belonging to the other political divides. The Upper East Regional Minister, Mark Woyongo who made the call was on the strong conviction that the NDC party was capable of retaining its Presidential seat, come 2012 only if members adhere to the lay down rules and procedures enshrined in the party’s constitution. Isaac Asare was there for Radio Ghana.

Report
Mr. Woyogo said the NDC as a social democratic party, believes in ideals and principals that serves the interest of the majority of the people instead of individual interest, hence the need for party faithfuls to desist from the use of foul languages against their political opponents. Mr. Woyongo said the use of misguided and derogatory statements made by social commentators on radio as well as other medium have the power to inflame passion and worse of it all cause mayhem and violent behaviours. He however seized the opportunity to advice all political parties to be civil and decorous in their utterances in order not to spark of violence since we all aiming at a common goal. Mr. Woyongo who was also particularly concerned about the current happenings in the NDC party, described the situation as a ‘storm in a tea cup’ stressing that the party despite its internal political struggle and wrangling, would come out stronger and more united after the primary to reaffirm ‘ the democratic credential s and supremacy of the NDC”. To him the NDC has come along way and poised to retain power in spite of all challenges. According to Mr. Woyongo the number of developmental projects springing up in the country particularly those taken place in second cycle and tertiary institutions is an ample indication that they are on their way to victory. Mr. Woyongo described such developmental projects as unprecedented in the history of the country, emphasizing that such developments are in partial fulfillment to their campaign promises made to Ghanaians and that more are yet to be done. He outlined a number of developmental projects earmarked for construction in the region and the country in general and called on TEIN members to use their power to reach out to more people so as to ensure massive victory come 2012. He also entreated the new executives to rise up to their responsibilities and face the challenges ahead. The Regional Youth Organiser, Robert Yel-Oni, on his part acknowledged the invaluable contribution of TEIN and urged its members not to be worried about the current developments of the party but rather give priority attention to what they can still contribute to ensure that the party delivers on its mandate. He said with the maturity of the leadership of the party they are poised to overcome all obstacles faced by the party. He however urged members of the TEIN to embark on their membership drive to win more members to their fold. The Outgoing President of TEIN, Nantomah Fuseini, commended the regional youth wing of the party for their level of commitment and selflessness since no youth group in the region had been blamed for taken to the streets to indulge in violent demonstrations to register their grievances. He therefore cautioned party members to remain committed and importantly stick to the ideals of the party for total development. A 10-member newly elected TEIN executives were later sworn into office. Moreover, a fund raising and a symbolic handing over ceremony also took place. Mr. Woyongo during the fund raising donated 5,000 Ghana Cedis to support the activities of TEIN. Other dignitaries including the Kassena-Nankana District Chief Executive, Emmanuel Andema, and the DCE for Talensi-Nabdam, Mrs. Vivian Anarfo who were also present to grace the occasion, as well gave their widows mite in support of TEIN.
