The Tamale Polytechnic youth wing of the ruling National Democratic Congress has kicked against calls by the Gbewa Youth Association, a local youth group in Tamale that the Tamale MCE should be sacked by President Mills for failing to create jobs for them. The Gbewa Youth on Monday embarked on a demonstration asking the MCE, Alhaji Haruna Friday to give them jobs or face the consequences. In a later development, the group called for the outright dismissal of the MCE by the president on grounds that he has failed to provide them the jobs he promised them. This request has not gone down well with the other youth group, the Tamale Polytechnic branch of the party’s support base, describing it as unnecessary and unwarranted. Giving reasons why the MCE should not be sacked, Ibrahim Fuseini, secretary to the Polytechnic’s Tertiary Education Institutions Network of the NDC told Citi News on Friday that, “the Mayor, Alhaji Haruna Friday has just been in office for just some few months. We can at least testify to the fact that he has done many good things for we Tamale people.” He said, “For instance, he was able to build at least a three classroom block at St. Joseph Junior High School and at least just some few months ago, he was able to give contracts to various youth groups within the Northern region to clear trash and to drain the various gutters within the Tamale Metropolis.” He attributed the Gbewa Youth group’s agitations to the fact that they may not have received their share yet but called on them to exercise patience. “I do realise that maybe that particular group was not given their share and you and I know very well that everything cannot be shared equally. Even if at all it can be shared equally, it cannot get to anybody. So we are saying that they can equally wait maybe next time, if there is anything of that sort, maybe they can be considered,” he said. "But for now, if they are coming out to say that the president should remove the MCE from office just for the mere fact that he has not been able to satisfy them then, we don’t see it to be any mandate,” he concluded.
