The Eastern Regional youth organisers of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have appealed President John Evans Atta Mills not to change Mr. Baba Jamal as the Deputy Eastern Regional Minister.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Deputy Eastern Regional youth organiser, Mr. Yaw Antwi, and all the 41 youth organisers and their deputies issued at Koforidua. This, they believed, would enable him to partner the new Eastern Regional Minster, Dr. Appiah Kubi, to handle political and socio-economic developments effectively in the region “We are of the conviction that Mr. Baba Jamal has what it takes to partner Dr. Appiah Kubi to handle the region politically and development wise,” the youth organisers stated.
The statement followed the quarterly meeting of the party’s youth organisers and their deputies from all the 21 constituencies in the Eastern Region.
The statement indicated that, the Eastern Regional executives of the NPP and some faceless persons were fighting hard to get Mr. Jamal out of his position, out of fear and for their own selfish ends.“We the youth hand members of the party, have total confidence in Mr. Baba Jamal and pray the President to keep him her in the Eastern Region for the sake of our party, NDC, and for the 2012 general election,” the statement added.
