INTERFERANCE OF NDC YOUTH GROUP IN THE SELECTION OF MCE FOR EVALUA AJOMORO GWIRA
It has come to our notice that Axim Youth Alliance (AYA) leadership which is made up of NDC party activists, are moving from one local Fm to another fronting for the MCE position for one Dorcas Amoah in Axim.
We wish to school the so called leadership of the Youth Group that the NPP Party believes in the structures of the Party which I will like to quickly ran you through:
1. The Party invited interested parties who are card bearing and dues paying members to apply through the constituency as has always been the case regarding processes relating to the application for the office of the MCE.
2. All applicants were interviewed at the regional level as part of the processes.
3. The national level is preparing to further evaluate the Applicants after which a Short list will be sent to the president to select in consultation with the council of state an MCE for the Nzema East Municipal Assembly(NEMA).
The question is: how come the leadership AYA who are known NDC activists jumping the gun by openly attacking one of the applicants and actually threatening mayhem if that applicant is chosen?
The constituency is fully aware of their diabolic attempts and therefore wish to use this medium to send a warning to them, that they have no locus whatsoever in the selection of MCE, and that if they continue to denigrate any of our applicants, the party will take them on to let them know that, the winning team in Evalua Ajomoro Gwira will not allow misguided young men to destabilize the peace and joy in our constituency.
We want the so called executive of AYA to know that MCE’s are not selected on Whatsapp platforms but through Party structures and also to call on those applicants who know they will not be selected, to desist from using fame hungry youths to do their fruitless bid.
AYA as Non Political as they claim made it obvious to us during the regional vetting of the applicants for the office of the MCE, their political ambitions by Siding with one of the applicants and went to the extent of massing up on the said date in their numbers to support Madam Dorcas Amoah, one of the applicant in the contest.
We also want AYA to know that they are not the mouthpiece of the people of NEMA and therefore do not speakand fight for us but rather speaks and fight for Madam Dorcas Amoah and their own selfish interest.
We therefore caution AYA executives especially the president and the vice not to meddle in our party affairs butrather focus on how to be accountable in their so called AYA activities, since that has been the reason why 2/3rds of the members have deserted them. We also want to state that AYA cannot impose on us an MCE for NEMA.
We want to ask the AYA executives the criteria they used in defining the former MCE, James Kakra Baidoo as a failure, is it because they were not giving money to chop and resisted them from manipulating him?
We stand for the true youth group that respect the elderly, traditional leaders and peers. We finally indulge AYA to stay away from NPP business.
Long live NPP

PRESS RELEASE BY TRAIN FOR CHANGE(NPP YOUTH) EVALUA AJOMORO GWIRA CONSTITUENCY.
NZEMA NPP YOUTH CONDENM TRIBAL STATEMENTS BY THREE CHIEFS
We the good people of the three Nzema constituency condemn in the strongest terms the unfortunate tribal statements made by the three chiefs of Nzema.
We wish to put on record for the entire nation to note that the views expressed by the three (3) chiefs do not reflect the views and visions of the peace loving people of Nzema.
There are seven (7) paramount chiefs in the Nzema enclave and our checks have confirmed that the other four who were not part of the so called press conference are in total disagreement with the unilateral decision by the three chiefs.
We wish to state emphatically that, we dissociate ourselves from this unfortunate tribal and ethnocentric statements by the three chiefs. We are all Ghanaians and the constitution is very clear on equal job opportunities irrespective of one’s tribe, religion and sex.
If the Ashanti kingdom were also to decide that all jobs in the Ashanti region should be offered to only Ashantis or the Greater Accra chiefs also were to rise and make statements that jobs on their land should go to onlyIndegenes, will Ghana be united?. Jobs should be applied for based on merit, competence in the field of endeavor and loyalty to Ghana, not tribe. If the chiefs in the Northern Region have staged a press conference, rejecting the retired professor. Would he have become the acting vice chancellor of the UDS, He should give us a break.
Ghana Gas is not reserved for only Nzema people, it’s for Ghanaians and the unfortunate ploy by a few individuals to scuttle the success of the NPP in Nzema will fail.
We the NPP youth, the entire people of Nzema fully support the appointment of Dr Ben Asante because he is qualified, experience and better suited for the job. He is a Ghanaian and not a Mongolian for God sake.
It is within the perview of Awulaemo to lobby for jobs for Nzemas, but it should not be limited to only jobs in theNzemaland. Awulaemo should lobby the president to giveus jobs in Tamale, Ho, Tema etc but not tie the hands of the president to specific jobs in Nzema for Nzema people.
The path taken by the three (3) chiefs is dangerous for the unity of this nation, and we call on Well Meaning Ghanaians, the media, civil societies, and our development partners to join us in condemning this tribal and ethnocentric practice.
We do not wish to denigrate the retired professor who is using the three chiefs to coerce the president to give him a job. Since he has brought on himself, we will set the record straight.
Where was the retired professor when we were campaigning? Does he still stands by his mathematical analysis that Nana Akufo Addo will not win the 2016 elections? Is he still teaching in Kenya as a professor since he was convinced NPP will not Win, Did he openly campaign for the NDC and got an award for his so called efforts?
It is embarrassing and a cheap ploy for him to hide behind three induced chiefs to look for a retirement job, after he and his team openly campaigned against his Excellency Nana Akufo Addo and the NPP parliamentary candidate. Jobs should be applied for based on merit, competence in the field of endeavor and loyalty to Ghana not tribe.
In this day and age of globalization of globalization our three chiefs have made us a laughing stock of the nation by sending a wrong signal out there that we are inward looking. Such ethnocentric and xenophobic statements will not be tolerated by us the progressive youth of Nzema.
We are aware that the very chiefs who addressed the press have sent their children to Dr Ben Asante to hire them to work at Ghana Gas. The question is did they realize he wasn’t an Nzema? Such hypocrisy is wrong and must be discouraged by all peace loving citizens of Ghana.
The constitution is very clear in article 78, the president has the sole Prerogative to appoint, not chiefs. We want to use this chance to tell the president that overwhelming majority including the other chiefs and Queen Mothers of the good people of Nzema are grateful for his wisdom in appointing Dr Ben Asante.
The young engineer is perfect for the job and so far has proven himself to all and sundry that the president made the right decision. Why did the three chiefs not reject the Chinese who built the plant designed by Dr Ben Asante? Such unfortunate statement from the three chiefs should be treated with the contempt it deserves and must be ignored.
We further state that, Awulae Amihere Kpanynli, paramount chief of Atuabo traditional area, the chief on whose land the Gas plant is situated sent us a message that he support the appointment of Dr Ben Asante and that he believes Dr is the right person for the job.
“ I believe Ghana gas at Atuabo as the first Ghanaian gas endeavor command a strong potential for expansion. This means employment for all Ghanaians, we look forward for this growth and economic development. First of all we here in Nzema are grateful for the leadership role of the president, Nana Akufo Addo and will continue to support his administration and leadership. We want the nation and its inhabitants to know we are host to the first gas plant and wish for their support for a continuous growth and stability. The truth is we need the Nation’s best men and women to achieve growth in the world market. We are thankful again to his excellency for your directions”
We the youth are also using this medium to tell the president and the energy minister that we will resist any attempt by the three chiefs to foster the retired professor on us simply because of tribe. Our futures will be bleak and we will be confined to only looking for jobs in Nzemaland based on logic.
That is not the Ghana we hope for, we hope for a Ghana where all tribes live in harmony, peace and free to work anywhere one chooses to.
Long live npp
Long live tfc
Long live Ghana.
