S/R: The Youth of Bole Threaten to Beat NDC Regional Chairman Man Blessing Over MCE Nominee

Tensions are boiling over in Bole as a section of the youth aligned with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have openly threatened to physically assault the party's Savannah Regional Chairman, Alhaji Seidu Imoro (popularly known as Man Blessing), over the nomination of a Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the Bole District.



According to aggrieved youth groups, Man Blessing is allegedly imposing a candidate who lacks grassroots support and is seen as being out of touch with the needs and priorities of the constituency. This move, they argue, goes against the spirit of inclusivity and broad consultation that the NDC has long preached.


Over the weekend, a group of irate youth stormed the party’s constituency office, chanting war songs and issuing stern warnings to the regional executives. Some of them were heard saying, “We’ll beat Man Blessing anywhere we see him in Bole if he dares bring his candidate here again.”

 Others accused the regional chairman of sidelining credible local contenders in favor of individuals perceived as “outsiders” or “elite loyalists.”


The source of their anger lies in what they describe as the undemocratic and unilateral way in which the MCE nominee was selected. They believe that the preferred candidate of the youth, who has served diligently in the party for years, was unfairly snubbed.


Speaking to this blog, one youth leader said, “We are not against the leadership, but we are against disrespect. We sacrificed for this party during the 2024 elections. Our choice must be respected.”


This development poses a serious challenge to the unity of the NDC in Bole, a traditional stronghold of the party. If not addressed swiftly, the discontent could spill into broader factionalism that may undermine the party's chances in the 2028 elections.


Efforts to reach Man Blessing for his side of the story proved unsuccessful at the time of publication.


As tensions escalate, party elders and national leadership are being urged to intervene and mediate before the situation deteriorates further. The people of Bole are watching closely, and the NDC's next steps could determine whether the party emerges united or fractured.

S/R: DABOYA UNDER SIEGE; DARKNESS DESCENDS DUE TO LEADERSHIP FAILURE

Image
  The people of Daboya are suffering through prolonged electricity outages, plunging our once thriving community into darkness. It's disheartening to see our government and leaders seemingly indifferent to this crisis. We recall the past 8 years of stability under NPP rule, where Daboya enjoyed uninterrupted electricity. The previous administration extended electricity to over 30 communities in North Gonja District, including townships extension in Daboya and Linguishe, were commendable. However, in less than 4 months of this new government's tenure, Daboya has lost its reliable electricity supply. Local businesses are struggling, the Coldstore is non-operational, and residents live in fear after dark. Our DCE appears more focused on visiting photo studios for shots than effective action, while our MP seems overwhelmed, ignoring the people's plea. The people of Daboya/Mankarigu deserve better representation and service from their leaders. We urge the government to address t...
