29-10-2011       

The Upper East youth wing of the NDC had been urged to device new campaign plans and strategies to entice more people into the party. An aspiring NDC parliamentary candidate for the Binduri Constituency, Stephen Atubiga gave the advice in a brief interaction with members of the Upper House, an NDC youth caucus in the Bawku municipality of the Upper East Region. He said the upcoming general elections would depend on the collective efforts of the youth and urged them to remain committed and dedicated to the cause of the party, since government and for that matter the President is committed to the wellbeing of the youth. This, Mr. Atubiga explained in evident in the appointment of more energetic youth in the presidency. He moreover emphasized that the youth, constitute the nation entire workforce and that any group of person or individual who do not appreciate the welfare of the youth is bound to fail. Mr. Atubiga recounted that the NDC as a social democratic party believes in ideals and principles that stands to unite members of the party, adding that such principles should not in any way be forgotten, hence the need to stick to those ideals.   He therefore urged members of the house to live above reproach and prepare adequately towards the pending elections, which according to him had been described by many as a ‘do–and- die’ affair. He said as 2012 elections approaches, there is the need for the youth in the NDC to map out plans and strategies that will help ensure another resounding victory for the party. Mr. Atubiga caution the youth against apathy and divisive tendencies as well as apathy but rather attach equal importance to the unification of members and executives of the party. This, he noted, is the key to retaining power come 2012.  He stressed that the task ahead was enormous and required a united action and effort to consolidate the political power gained in the 2008 Election. The Secretary of the Upper House, Dauda Ayamga Ali, for his part encouraged his members to go all out and spread the gospel of development in the region and the country at large. He said the massive infrastructural development springing up in most parts of the country , especially deprived areas of the north clearly goes on to define government’s commitment to ensuring the wellbeing of Ghanaians and not members of the NDC as a party. He expressed the hope that members particularly the youth will join hands in portraying the good work of the government. This, he indicated will make an impact in winning more people to its fold.  He also advised members of the party to remain united and eschew acts of rancour and acrimony, which he believes could spell doom for the party if care is not taken.
