The National Executive of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by the National Youth Organizer, Anthony Abayifa Kabu have toured the Upper East Region to sympathize with persons affected during the recent flood disaster experienced in parts of the region. This is in response to the clarion call made by the NADMO and the Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) seeking the support of concerned individuals and organizations interesting in reaching out to the affected victims. In view of this, Mr Kabu on behalf of the leadership of the party has donated assorted items to the office of the NADMO for onward distribution to victims in worst affected areas, particularly displaced individuals. The items include 50 bags of maize, 100 bags of cement and 100 pieces of mats.   Mr Kabu was assisted by some party loyals including the Parliamentary Candidate for Bolgatanga Central, Dr Geiseka Gambilla and the former MCE for Bolgatanga Municipal, Mr.  Rockson Bukari. Also present was the National Women’s Organizer, Madam Rita Asobayere among a host of other party faithful.  Presenting the items, Mr Kabo said the NPP respects the concerns of the Ghanaians and would go the extra mile to attend to their pressing needs irrespective of party affiliation. More so, the party is poised to alleviate the plight of the suffering masses particularly the youth and the vulnerable group, stating their commitment to ensure their wellbeing at all levels. The donation which according to him was engineered by the flagbearer of the party, Nana Akuffo Addo was intended to attend to the vulnerable and the displaced involved in the floods. This, he reiterated, goes ahead to confirm that the leadership of the party was indeed committed to improving the lives of the people for the better. He however called for transparent and equitable distribution of the items and appealed to NADMO to concentrate much on the displaced.  Mr Kabu was however worried about the perennial flood situation in the region and further called on NADMO and the RCC to intensify adequate early warning systems so that people living in flood prone areas would be prepared enough to move to safer grounds in case of any flood event. The Regional NADMO Coordinator, Mr Patrick Akake who received the items thanked the leadership of the NPP for the show of concern and called on other political parties to emulate the gesture. Meanwhile, Mr Kabu and his delegation paid a courtesy call on the Deputy Regional Minister, Mrs Lucy Awuni at her office to announce their presence in the region and to also inform her about the donation. Mrs Awuni in a brief statement lauded the effort of the NPP and called for attitudinal change among persons living in flood prone areas of the region. According to her measures are in the pipeline to curtail the perennial flood situation in the region. She also urged the leadership of the NPP to be committed in ensuring free fair and transparent elections, come December.
