The Upper East
Regional Executives of the NPP has set the 26 of this month for a planned
demonstration to register its displeasure about what it calls shocking
indifference with regards to developmental issues affecting the three regions
of Northern Ghana.
The party is accusing the Mahama-led administration for
being insensitive to the plight of Northerners despite the promises made to the
people in its campaign in the run up to the 2012 polls.
At a press conference in
Bolgatanga, the Regional Chairman of the party, Adam Mahamma said President
Mahama had electoral advantage over his contenders because his major campaign
message was directed at bridging the gap between the north and the south.
He
observed that the plea convinced majority of people northern descent to give
him the mandate since he was a northerner who better understood their problems.
For the executives the government has reneged on its promise, hence their
resolve to go on the streets to remind the President of his promise made to the
people of northern Ghana.
The Regional Youth Organiser of the NPP, Bashiru
Ibrahim, said the government has failed in its mandate to address the concerns
of Ghanaians.
He noted that Ghanaians, particularly, northerners under the
current administration are worse off due to neglect and lack of foresight.
Mr
Ibrahim, entreated government to exhibit exceptional leadership by taking a
closer look at the numerous developmental gaps between the north and the south.
He mentioned job creation, education, health and economic empowerment as some
areas that require priority attention to better the lot of the people.
