A Branch of the National Democratic Congress at Nima, in the East Ayawaso Constituency, Rasheediya has commended President John Dramani Mahama for appointing the Member of Parliament for North Ayawaso, Dr Ahmed Mustahpa as Minister of State at the Presidency.
In a statement signed by the spokesperson for the group, Alhaji T D Sakibu, the group noted that “we the members of this group are so elated that the President found Dr Ahmed as competent to support his pursuit to building a better Ghana for us all.”
According to the group, the appointment is a testament to the confidence reposed in the President by the electorate in the constituency, who since 1992 has voted massively for the NDC.
The Nima Rasheediya Branch also extended congratulatory messages to President John Dramani Mahama for his successful election and inauguration as President of the Republic of Ghana and the Member of Parliament for East Ayawaso, Naser Mahama alias Mcnaza for winning the 2012 Parliamentary election.
“The Nima Rasheediya Branch of the NDC see your victory as a victory for the youth and will do anything humanly possible under the sky to support your tenure to bring development to the people of our area and Ghana as a whole” the statement added
The statement stated that ‘‘we have admired your leadership skills and capabilities over the years and we have no doubt that the appointed time has come for you to lead a united Ghana in an all-inclusive government.”
The group prayed for the President and the MP and said ‘it is our candid wish that God will grant you a positive and achievable vision, good health, the blessings of long life, wisdom, protection and successes to take our beloved country to the promised Land’.
‘We also wish to salute the Ghanaian population for taking the initiative they took in voting for issues, personalities and their beliefs in political parties and not on tribal grounds. May God guide us through under the stewardship of President John Dramani Mahama’, they added
The statement also commended the electorate in the East Ayawaso Constituency for the peaceful manner they conducted themselves before, during and after the election. They also urge the opinion leaders like the chiefs, Pastors and Imams to continue preaching peace and unity to the people in the community
