UPPER WEST NDC SUPPORTSPREZ MILLS (PAGE 16, DEC 7)

THE Upper West Regional Executive of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has pledged its unflinching support for the Prof. John Atta Mills-led government in its quest to deliver on its “Better Ghana” promise.
It said it was amazed at the diligence and purposefulness with which President Mills and his Vice had carried themselves so far in the performance of their duties and called on all Ghanaians to support them.
Addressing a press conference in Wa at the weekend to state their position on the recent criticisms of the Mills administration, the Regional Secretary of the NDC who is also the Deputy Upper West Regional Minister, Mr Kale Caesar, said, “We the regional executive on behalf of the rank and file, especially the foot soldiers of our great party, want to unequivocally pledge our unflinching support to President J. E. A. Mills and his Vice, Mr John Dramani Mahama, for their courage, humility, discipline and dedication to deliver a better Ghana for all”.
Mr Kale said even though some of the criticisms could be genuine concerns which would be taken in good faith, some of it could also not be overlooked especially when it was coming from a few “ disgruntled people who are motivated by greed and selfishness”.
He, therefore, reminded members of the party not to reduce their memory of the political history of the NDC to just the eleven months Prof. Mills had been in power but to remain steadfast in the face of all the challenges confronting the Mills administration.
“We are calling on all party members to be wary of selfish individuals who are masquerading as concerned party members and remain steadfast and support Prof. Mills and his government,” Mr Caesar stressed.
He further advised members of the party especially the stalwarts to respect the constitution of the party, as well as the norms and conventions, and channel all their grievances through laid down structures, saying, “We may disagree on issues but that should not push us to make inflammatory statements especially from the well-respected members of the party.”
