The entire Northern Regional Executive of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), have withdrawn their services to the party with immediate effect.
The action, they say has been precipitated by the government’s lack of interest in reversing what they call an “unpopular ruling” delivered by an Accra Fast Track High Court discharging and acquitting some 15 persons standing trial for the murder of the Ya-Na Yakubu Andani II.
The executive say henceforth they will not play any role in the party until the situation is addressed.
They have consequently given the government two weeks to initiate the process of reversing the court’s decision else they will resign en block.
According to Joy FM’s Northern Regional Correspondent Mahama Shaibu, the regional Propaganda Secretary of the party and some executives even pushed for their immediate resignation from the party but more moderates amongst them appealed for calm. They said the government should be given some time to consider the issues.
