The New Patriotic Party’s Northern Suhudoo Commentators group in Tamale has sent a signal to government that its members and other concerned citizens in the Northern Region will embark on a series of demonstrations if government goes ahead to purchase the proposed five jets for the military. The group described the endless debate on the purchase of the five jets as one of government’s misplaced priorities which should be kicked against by all well meaning Ghanaians. This came to light at a news conference organized at an abandoned US 20 million Dollar Jubilee market at Kukuo in the Tamale metropolis. Fredrick Tahidu, Spokesperson of the group reminded government of the numerous development challenges that have engulfed the people of the three Northern Regions for which reason monies meant to purchase the five jets should be channeled into bridging the yawning gap between the South and the North. He mentioned the Tamale-Kumbungu, Tamale-Salaga, Tamale-Gushegu, Yendi-Bimbila, Yendi-Gushegu and Sawla-Fufulso roads as some of the projects government should execute rather than attempting to buy five jets for the military. Fredrick Tahidu also impressed upon government to inject the jets money into the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority kitty to enable the administrators execute projects captured under SADA.
