Just because some goat has climbed logo ligi ladders to the hill top does not mean that goat can see all that is below the hill. With low cost education in low cost institutions the so called Akamuri is buying the media to get a shot at a position reseved for veterans such as Adabre, Cletus,the late Abulu etc. Where are Akatapori, Ntim Chris and the PNDC guys? They better come out and tie this goat to a tree and give him some grass and a calabash of water from the Navrongo dam. He needs a lot of help.

What a mistake the president would be making to choose Akamugri. That knows nothing and cannot manage this region besides no one will respect him because of his arrogance, greed and divisive style.Yes, he has been with the party, but he is a follower like many and not competent for a sensitive post such as Regional minister.

The profile of Akamugri does not tell one of a person who has what it takes to administer a region. Being a long standing cadre and having risen through the ranks as described by the poorly write up of Atampobire does not equate to Akamugri's ability to manage a diverse and complex region like UER.

The region should not be seen as a toy for people like Akamugri to play with. Atampobire be serious next time. UER deserves better.

lets be serious here, how can one think that Akamugre has what it takes to be Minister of a region like the U/ER. We are talking about policy, administration, vision, honesty and strong character. He lacks its in all these departments.That man is not only the lest competent of all those in the raise, he is also the lest in popular vote. Arrogance,greed and division are his stock in trade.

instead of thinking of people who can lobby are strong and appealing, confident, incorruptible, unifer, and can owe the international commuinty they are talking about this good for nothing local boys. even if they have to bring someone from outside so be it. Chose smart, confident affable , incorruptible and intellengent people and not cadres. You can get some work for the cadres to do if they have none

Nbaa you are right. This Akamugri guy simply is not qualified. The Regional NDC Executives in the UER are doing his bidding for him, so that when he is appointted they can get contracts as kick backs. The do not half baked people to manage the affairs of the region. President Mahama should not make the mistake of appointing Akamugri

A discourse which focuses merely on regional or tribal equalization without more is depressing especially for a gravely deprived region as the Upper East. If that argument were to be made and sustain, then the Builsa should be the rightful people to lay claim to the position of the position of Regional since none of their sons nor daughters has ever occupied that seat since the region was created neary 50years. In that time, we.ve had kassena-naakenas, frafras,kusasis, and Mamprusis superindentending over the region for better or for worse.

I'm shocked my brother Abuluk cannot remember Madam Chigabatia from the Builsa area who served as Deputy Minister in the Kofour Government. On his issue of equalisation,the constitution of Ghana provides for regional balance in appointments and the same case is used at the regional level. it is Bongo all the way and the man is Dr Avea

I do not know all the guys lobbying for the post of the UER's Minister, but between Akamugri and Dr Avea, Dr Avea stands tall. There is no comparasion between the two.

The argument being made is for the postion of a Regional Minister AND NOT A DEPUTY REGIONAL MINISTER, for an indigene of Bongo on the strength that they have not previously held that position. My simple case which i think has be made out factually is that a frafra has ever occupied that postion but no Bulsa has. If you have evidence to the contrary, let's have it and move away from your puerile logic.

The watch word is competence, and strong character, and he does not have any. Talking about Bongo Donatus is not the only one from Bongo in the race for the post. If People like Dr Avea are in the race where stands Akamugri? Somebody tell him to go sleep the President is not ready to gamble with his better government.

Hi Mr.Atampobire, i appreciate your concern for the appointment of Mr. Akamugri for the said position but to resort to the use of media might not be the best. this is because the appointing authorities does not rely on media publications for their information neither the prez. After i read your article i spoke with Donatus about it but he is not too confortable with the development he belief in the structures of the party, he respect the people he wish to serve as well as the prez and the appointing authorities hence he will not do anything that will bring dispute to them.
Donatus is a distinguished personality in the party and the region,he knows how to handle such issues hence restrain from it.THANK YOU.

If Mr Akamugri finds any iota of truth in de popular saying dat courtesy begins @ home,he disqualifies himself in his own conscience. He should rise to the responsibities of a good husband and father and allow those who have passed the "God given exam" that he trailed to battle it out.He is too divisive and self centered for my liking.He shd give us a break! He does not at all think outside the box, except what happens within him, he knows nothing. Upper East Region deserves better than Akamugri. I am a Bonga myself, but i think Bongo Youth shd come again not Akamugri!!!

A rather ridiculous public CV? Any employers around who may be interested in this desperate man's CV for employment as a 'Lobbyist Support Team Leader'?

How can a mediocre like Akamugri be given the position of a regional minister? Do you think regional administration is like teaching Social studies in the classroom? The media should excuse us.

How can you challenge your Lecturer for the position of a regional minister?
Its a lie that Akamugri even has MA in Human Rights, He is yet to. He should stop his greediness and give Dr Avea way,
