Ejura MCE withdraws application for MCE position

The Municipal Chief Executive(MCE) for Ejura-Sekyedumase, Mohammed Salisu Bamba has withdrawn his application for MCE position.

According to him, he arrived at the decision for the peace of the municipality and in the general unity and growth of the governing New Patriotic Party(NPP).

In a letter addressed to the Chairman, MMDCEs Vetting Committee sighted by Naagyeifmonline.com, Hon. Bamba expressed his sincere appreciation to President Akufo Addo for the confidence reposed in him to serve in his first term of office.

He also graciously thanked the good people of the Ejura-Sekyedumase constituency for giving him the opportunity to serve them in the 6th Parliament between 2013 to 2017 to the best of his ability.

“I have always worked in the interest of my party and country, and it is in that spirit that I am withdrawing myself for consideration.

“I will like to firmly assure the people of the Municipality, my party members and the public that I will continue to work for the general good of the municipality, my party and the country,” the statement ended.

Hon. Mohammed Salisu Bamba has been accused of being behind the death of Ejura-based Social activist, Mohammed Alhassan aka Kaaka after some persons alleged to be his bodyguards reportedly clubbed Kaaka to death.

But appearing before the Committee of Inquiry investigating the killings in Ejura last week, Hon. Bamba said he has no close relationship with the two who are polling station executives of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) in the Ejura-Sekyedumase constituency.

“I know them to be party members and they are our polling station executives, that is how I know them. We don’t have a personal relationship, our relationship is a political relationship. I have one Police bodyguard that I move with, I don’t have a personal bodyguard.”

He accused some faceless individuals of using Kaaka’s death for their parochial interest.

In the heat of the accusation, it was reported that he’d been dismissed by the President but he came out to deny the reports.
