An executive member of the NDC in the Volta Region, Mr. Emmanuel Tokeme has urged President Mahama to reinstate the former Chief of Staff, Mr. Prosper Bani before the NDC`s world bank turn to microfinance.

Prosper Bani was relieved of his position by President John Mahama who has now appointed Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Julius Debrah, to replace him but the executive member of the NDC in the Volta Region said he [Prosper Bani] should be reinstated.

Speaking Monday evening to Afia Pokua on Adom FM’s Burning Issues programme, Mr Tokeme said the Volta Regional branch of the party did not know about the decision to relieve Mr. Prosper Bani off his duties, describing it as unfair for the whole of the region to hear such a shocking change at the Presidency.

“We are going for elections and it doesn’t sound well for us about relieving of Prosper Bani from his post because it is the grassroots that has made the NDC what it is today…,” he said.

Mr. Bani's successor, Julius Debrah prior to his appointment as the Local Government Minister served as the Eastern Regional Minister. He also headed the Ghana Tourist Board and was the Eastern Regional Chairman of the NDC.

He gained national prominence in 2014 as the Local Government Minister.

His relentless campaign against the filth in the country's cities, towns and villages, endeared him to many traditional and opinion leaders across the country.

Mr. Debrah has proven to have vast organizational skills.
