NYUPED DESCEND ON VEEP
A Non Governmental Organization called the Northern Youth for Peace and
Development (NYUPED) has called on Vice President John Dramani Mahama and all the Ministers of State of northern extraction to resign their positions for not doing enough to make the Savanna Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) policy to be on tenterhooks towards the development of the three northern regions Ghana.
It observed that the NDC’s promise made to the masses through the SADA policy formed part of the assigned reasons the people in the northern sector voted massively for the party.
The NYUPED mentioned that the NDC during the 2008 elections promised to make two hundred thousand million US Dollars as seed money to address the socio-economic needs of citizens of the northern sector under the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority concept which was not fulfilled.
The Executive Director of the Northern Youth for peace and Development, Prince Hardi Adam made the called at a news conference held in Tamale over the weekend.
According to Prince Hardi the people in the three regions in the north have observed with regret and bewilderment that apart from the twenty one thousand million cedis in the Kufour government left for that purpose, the current administration only deposited a blank cheque of twenty thousand Ghana cedis in SADA’s account.
The Northern Youth for Peace and Development therefore threatened to mobilize people in the three Northern Regions to hit the streets if the President John Mills led NDC administration after one week fails to make available the needed resources to the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority to function effectively.
Prince Hardi Adam advised electorate not to allow politicians continued use them for their parochial interest.
