The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Tolon in the Northern Region, Habib Iddrisu is likely a battle in his quest to lead the people of the constituency for a second term in the 2024 general elections.
This comes after a former Deputy Chief Executive Officer (DCEO) of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) and famous news publisher, Chief Akilu Sayibu declared his intention to face off with the Deputy Majority Chief Whip in the upcoming NPP parliamentary primaries.
According to Hassan lddrisu, an aide to Mr Sayibu, the decision to join the contest was influenced by the huge endorsement Mr Sayibu had received from key party activists, his family, friends, former students and the residents of Tolon.
He revealed that the majority of the people believe strongly in the ability and capabilities of Mr Sayibu to ensure the accelerated socio-economic development of the constituency.
Mr Sayibu in one of his recent engagements with his kinsmen in the Tolon Constituency, Mr. Iddrisu said, received heaps of commendations for the roles he had played in the lives of many young people to realise their potential.
"Chief Akilu Sayibu's influence is not limited to academia and the corporate world. Some of his former students have become highly successful private-sector players and are passionately enthusiastic about supporting his campaign. Their excitement and belief in the Tolon project further validate Chief Akilu Sayibu's ability to inspire and lead," Mr. Iddrisu added.
Mr. Iddrisu said that Mr Sayibu has confidence in his ability to build a strong network to drive the Tolon project forward.
He emphasised the former GEPA Deputy CEO's unwavering availability and willingness to help others, which has endeared him to the people of the community.
"The residents of Tolon eagerly await his campaign, as they believe he holds the brighter chances of uplifting the constituency from its long-standing lack of development and other opportunities".
