Alhaji Soyibu Yussif, A.K.A Agenda, the Northern Regional Treasurer of NPP and a true visionary, has his eyes fixed on the prize, determined to 'move mountains' by breaking the Eight in the Northern region, proving that 'where there's a will, there's a way'

Alhaji Agenda's namesake raises eyebrows - is it fate or a testament to his innate ability to set and achieve goals? The conventional spelling of his name 'Agenda' only fuels the curiosity. It seems his name 'Agenda' was 'cut out' for greatness, reflecting his exceptional strategic thinking and cleverness.

No wonder they call him 'the master planner', for 'a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet', but Alhaji Agenda's name is a constant reminder of his remarkable abilities.

The 'master planner' title is just the tip of the iceberg, for Alhaji Agenda is 'a goldmine of talent', with 'Chief Achiever' and 'Master Strategist' being more fitting descriptions of his remarkable profile.

Calling Alhaji Agenda a 'master planner' is like 'calling a lion a cat'; it does not do justice to his exceptional abilities, which are better captured by titles like 'Chief Achiever' and 'Master Strategist'.

Alhaji Agenda is a 'Chief Achiever' and 'Master Strategist' through and through, with a rare blend of vision and expertise that makes him a 'shining star' in leadership. His accomplishments speak for themselves, for 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating'.

He is the epitome of smart leadership, with a unique combination of intelligence and foresight that sets him apart. Alhaji Agenda 'walks the talk', letting his remarkable achievements be his testament rather than relying on empty words.

Now, let us get to the heart of the matter, for 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating'. You may be wondering what this Patriotic Gem, Alhaji Agenda, has done to warrant such widespread acclaim, recognition, and accolades. It is time to reveal the substance behind the praise, for 'actions speak louder than words', and his achievements are a testament to his exceptional leadership and dedication.

Can you guess why Chief Agenda is basking in accolades? He has 'found the key to unlock the door' to breaking the eight, a longstanding hurdle in the north. He has discovered the 'spark that ignites the flame' to propel progress, and it's none other than the vibrant youth. With their energy and potential, he has 'caught the fish with his own hands', cracking the code to effortless success. Indeed, 'the youth are the future', and Chief Agenda has tapped into this 'goldmine' to make H.E. Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia 'the captain of the ship', not just a passenger.

In his quest to 'catch the wind' of youth energy and break the eight-year cycle, Alhaji Tohibu Agenda brought together influential NPP youth groups in the region, 'pooling their strengths' to amplify their impact. He 'put his money where his mouth is', providing each group with Ghs4,000 to fuel their political endeavours, and pledged to extend this support to seven youth groups in the Tamale area, 'giving them the wings to fly' and continue their vital work.

Prominent among the youth and women's groups in attendance were the Northern NPP Concern Youth, How to Break the Eight movement, Bawumia Ladies group, and Dankwah Ladies association.

Seizing the moment, Chief Agenda 'struck while the iron was hot', emphatically assuring the youth groups that 'breaking the eight' is a 'must-win' battle. He pledged to stand 'shoulder to shoulder' with the youth, providing unwavering support in all aspects, empowering them to 'burn the midnight oil' and work even harder for the party's success.

With his characteristic selflessness, Chief Agenda advised the enthusiastic youth to 'set their sights high' and define their personal political objectives, focusing on what they aim to accomplish as the party 'rides the wave' of success with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia at the helm as president.

September 7th, 2024, will be etched in history as the day Alhaji Agenda's residence became the backdrop for a monumental achievement: the demolition of the long-standing myth of the eight's invincibility.

The electric atmosphere was palpable, as uncontainable joy and anticipation filled the air. The sweet aroma of triumph wafted through as youth and women's groups were energized, their infectious enthusiasm fuelling the moment.

This was a moment of unbridled triumph, where doubts and negativity were 'swept away like chaff in the wind', giving rise to an unstoppable tide of optimism and promise - the promise of a Greater Ghana, born from the 'seed of vision' sown by H.E Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia's leadership, and the hope of finally 'breaking the jinx' of the eight.

A tree is known by its fruit, and Chief Agenda's selfless investment in the grassroots is a testament to his commitment. This ground-breaking move marks a new chapter in northern politics, where a regional executive is sowing seeds of empowerment with their own resources. Let this be a shining example for national leaders to acknowledge and for regional party leaders to follow, mobilizing the youth through similar initiatives, for 'when one hand washes the other, both hands become clean'.
