Regional organisers and Deputies of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have expressed concern about what they described as “unhealthy leadership problem emerging in the party” concerning former first family and President John Evans Atta Mills.
In a communiqué issued and signed by the Regional and Deputy Organisers of the party after a three-day workshop in Kumasi, they noted with concern “the seemingly unhealthy leadership problem emerging in the party, particularly between the former First family and the President” .
They have therefore called “ for restraint and urge all party faithful associated with these personalities to note the effects of the crises on the fortunes of the party”.
Among those who signed the communiqué were the Central Regional Organiser, Mr Patrick Aniagyei, Greater Accra Regional Organiser, Mr Jerry A. Thompson, Brong Ahafo Regional Organiser, Alhaji Baba, Northern Regional Deputy Organiser, Alhaji Nashiru Iddrisu, Upper West Regional Organiser, Mr. A.M. Ishaahaq and Volta Regional Organiser, Mr Harry Amatepe.
Others were the Upper East Regional Organiser Baba Kumasi, Eastern Regional Organiser, Mr Tawia Boateng, Western Regional Organiser, Mr. Kaku Korsah, Ashanti Regional Organiser, Alhaji Sarnie Abudlai and Northern Regional Organiser, Alhaji Silinboma.
The workshop enabled the regional organisers and their deputies to have fruitful interaction on issues concerning the party, making it possible for them to deliberate on strategies needed to win the 2012 general elections.
In the communiqué, the NDC organisers expressed their profound “appreciation of government at resolving the challenges facing the country, especially in education, health and unemployment sectors”.
“ We are particularly appreciative and supportive of the national Programme on the Local Enterprise and Skills Development Project (LESDEP). We believe that this and other programmes envisaged will significantly ease the unemployment in this country and accelerate growth in the economy” they noted.
Commending the Ashanti Regional Police Command “ on efforts being made to check the incidence of armed robbery on the roads, they urged the Inspector General of Police “ to issue similar directives to other Regional Commands as a measure to halt the menace of Armed Robbery on our roads”.
They pointed out that in his usual peace loving and mature leadership, President Mills directed that “all former NPP MCEs /DCEs should be paid their end of service benefits” but said those who served under the NDC administration have not been paid such benefits.
They therefore appealed to President Mills “ to set the necessary process in motion to have them (MMDCEs) paid their ex-gratia as done to the NPP MMDCEs.”
