Bawku youth against MCE nominee

The Bawku Municipal Security Committee has met over the dispute that erupted over the nomination of Amadu Issah Wabu Karimu, as Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the area.

The committee chaired by Alhaji Limuna Mohammed-Muniru, Upper East Regional Minister, met with the youth, opinion leaders and executives of National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The youth have vowed to foment trouble if the authorities go ahead to confirm the nominee and resign from the party.

Alhaji Mohammed- Muniru called on them to discourage the act of lawlessness and direct their grievances through the right channels such as the courts or the Municipal Assembly so as not to come into conflict with the law.

The Minister paid a courtesy call on Bawku Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II and explained the processes involved in the selection of the nominee.

He said people interested in the position were asked to submit their applications at the constituency level for vetting.

Alhaji Mohammed-Muniru said five of the applications were selected and submitted to the regional level for consideration.
