Asawase NDC
Executive rescind decision
Kumasi, July 3, Ghanadot/GNA - The
Executive Members of the Asawase Constituency of the
National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kumasi on Friday
rescinded their decision to resign from their posts.
A statement signed by Mr Joseph Salifu and Mr Baba Mohammed,
Constituency Secretary and Organizer, respectively, and
issued in Kumasi on Friday, stated that the Executive
Members have with immediate effect taken up their various
posts in the interest of the party.
It explained that the decision of the members followed a
marathon meeting between them and the leadership of the NDC
in which they were impressed upon to bury their differences,
forget about the past and take back their posts which they
gave up last week.
It would be recalled that the Executive Members resigned en
bloc following what they described as unfair treatment meted
out to the Member of Parliament for Asawase, Alhaji Mohammed
Muntaka Mubarak, who was until recently the Minister of
Youth and Sports.
The Executive Members could not come to terms as to the fact
that even though the Minister was cleared of all the
allegations of financial malfeasance leveled against him,
the Presidency failed to give back Alhaji Mubarak his
position as the Sector Minister and rather appointed some
one else to man the sector.
They were also aggrieved of rumors that the Minister was
forced to resign against his will.
The statement appealed to all well-meaning NDC supporters to
forgive the Executive Members for the inconvenience they
caused the party as a result of their mass resignation.
It also apologized to the Ashanti Regional Police Command
for the inability of some NDC supporters at Asawase to seek
permit before embarking on a demonstration soon after the
Executive Members had resigned.
“We wish to assure the Command that in future such
occurrence would not be repeated”.
