NDC YOUTH RALLYS SUPPORT FOR SADA

NDC YOUTH RALLYS SUPPORT FOR SADA
Members of the Progressive Action Youth of the NDC in Tamale who recently
attacked the Tamale Mayor’s office in protest against a decongestion exercise
carried by the assembly have commended government for releasing $25 million US
Dollars as seed capital for the successful implementation of projects earmarked
under the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority.
The group said government’s financial commitment towards the smooth
implementation of the SADA programmes indicated that President John Mills was
really committed to bridging the north-south divide on developmental lines.
In a press statement signed by Abdul Fasit Osman, Secretary to the Progressive
Action Youth of the NDC expressed the group’s confidence in the NDC
administration’s forward march to transform the socio-economic development of
the rural poor in northern Ghana.
He therefore called on all well meaning Ghanaians particularly those of
northern decent to rise above petty squabbles and support government and its
development partners to improve the living conditions of northerners.
Abdul Fasit alluded that the Northern Youth for Peace and Development (NYUPED)
which threatened a massive demonstration against government over its delay in
implementing the SADA policy was financed by the opposition NPP to divert the
NDC government’s attention from its Better Ghana Agenda.
“The vile attempt by the so-called Northern Ghana Youth for Peace and
Development sponsored by its paymasters the NPP to antagonize the good people
of northern Ghana and the NDC government especially the Vice President John
Dramani Mahama should be ignored” he stated.
Abdul Fasit challenged the Northern Youth for Peace and Development and other
likeminded bodies to stop issuing “Empty threats” and offer constructive
suggestions to government to uplift the image of northern Ghana throuth its
well tailored programmes.
