NPP Northern regional Secretary expresses gratitude to gov’t

The Northern regional Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sule Salifu has expressed gratitude to the NDC government for dedicating the second edition of the National Sanitation Day to the late Vice President, Alhaji Aliu Mahama. He says it was not surprising when the day was dedicated to the late Vice president, since he stood for greater discipline in his life time as well as championed campaigns on proper sanitary conditions among the citizenry. Mr. Sule Salifu expressed the gratitude in an interview with Fiila News during the second edition of the National Sanitation Day at the weekend. The late Vice President Alhaji Aliu Mahama in the past initiated a similar campaign to ensure cleaner environment and healthy conditions in the country. Members of the NPP in the region joined several youth groups, departments, Civil Society Organizations, the security services and the Aliu Mahama Foundation to clean the metropolitan area. Mr. Sule Salifu says the NPP as the largest opposition political party recon the need for good sanitation hence the need to lead the course for proper and cleaner environment in our societies. He urged Ghanaians to see sanitation as everybody’s business and embrace the initiative since diseases has no barriers. The Executive Director for the Aliu Mahama Foundation, Dr Samuel Kojo Frimpong says the recognition of the late Vice President is recognition of the fact that he has paid his dues not as a president alone but as a citizen who was concern about the ordinary Ghanaian. He hopes the exercise will not just end but be a habit for Ghanaians to ensure cleaner environment for the sake of our health.
