We the NPP youth in the Yunyoo constituency want to state unambiguously that the northern regional minister Salifu Saeed and his deputy Solomon Namlit Boar are AGAINST the president nominee JK Alhassan for the position of the district chief executive for Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo district.

We are therefore warning the two party leaders to allow peace in the area because any attempt by them to continue with their resistance to the nominee could compromise the political harmony in the area.

We are also daring the two party leaders to deny their involvement in stifling confirmation process for further exposure.

We conclude by appealing to the president to call the Northern regional minister and his deputy to order and discipline them for disrespecting his choice of Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo DCE
