POLITICIANS ADVISED TO CRITICISE CONSTRUCTIVELY (PAGE 15, JAN 15, 2010)

THE Upper West Regional Propaganda Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Yakubu Yahaya, has stressed on the need for politicians to change the phase of politics from attacking personalities to an issue-based politics of constructive criticisms.
This, he said, was the only way to reduce the tension, rancour and all other negative traits which characterised politics in the country.
Mr Yahaya, who gave the advice during an interaction with the Daily Graphic in Wa, said the NDC organised all its elections in the region peacefully and so all the other political parties must emulate it and do same in order not to mar the peace which the region was enjoying.
“The regional minister, and all the other political heads need peace to continue with the good work they have started and therefore sustaining the peace in the region was very paramount in working to achieve the better Ghana that President Mills has promised Ghanaians” he added and thanked the traditional rulers and security agencies as well as the people of the region for their contribution towards the total development of the region.
Mr Yahaya further called on the media to be as professional as possible and said as the fourth estate of the realm, the government needed their support to achieve its targeted goals.
He called on all NDC faithful to remain steadfast and united even in the face of the initial difficulties which the government inherited and said President Mills’ Government was taking the right decisions to bring the economy back on track.
He said the NDC was a party for all Ghanaians and therefore it would do its best to meet the needs and aspirations of the entire citizenry.
Mr Yahaya further called on Ghanaians to rally behind President Mills’s Government and that the Government would prove to all Ghanaians that it is an able Government.
