Mills expresses concern about the
North
Tamale, Sept. 26, Ghanadot/GNA -
Professor John Evans Atta Mills, Flag bearer of National
Democratic Congress (NDC) has advised members of the party
not to allow opponents of the NDC to use any subtle means to
penetrate and break the unity within the party.
He said their opponents had
measured and seen the unbeatable strength of the NDC and
were using various means to use "NDC to fight NDC"
particularly in the Northern Region where other parties
cannot measure up their strengths to equal the popularity of
the "winsome NDC" in 2008 elections.
Professor Mills gave the advice in Tamale on Tuesday when he
met NDC Northern Regional Executives and Executives of
Tamale North, Tamale South and Tamale Central constituencies
and some party supporters.
The meeting was to address pertinent issues concerning the
party in the region and to urge members not to relent on
their efforts to work harder and galvanize more support for
the NDC to win the 2008 elections with ease.
"Let our opponents fight us but don't allow them to use us
to champion their agenda. We have persevered in opposition
for seven years and now that we are winning power you should
not loose your guard," he said.
Professor Mills called for unity in the party and advised
members to avoid acts that would run the NDC down, reduce
its strength and popularity and advised them to be part of
the winners in 2008.
He specifically mentioned propaganda machinery in the Tamale
North, South and Central constituencies where efforts were
being made to run down the hard working Parliamentarians,
Alhaji Abubakri Sumani, Mr Haruna Iddrisu and Mr Inusah
Fuseini.
Professor Mills described the three Tamale Parliamentarians
as some of the best in Parliament and “if I have my way no
one would contest them in next year's Parliamentary
elections”.
He warned members of the party against negative stories
about the party from Accra that were not true saying “those
in Accra are united and do not indulge in acts that would
divide the party”.
Professor Mills called on the Northern Regional Executive of
the party to be more active, vigilant and take disciplinary
measures on supporters who would not be in line with the
party's constitution and regulations.
He paid a courtesy call on the new leader of Ambariyya
mosque, Sheikh Zakaria Saaid and urged him to use his office
to pray to Allah for continued peace in Dagbon and Ghana for
a peaceful election in 2008.
