Mr. Sidii Abubakar Musah, an aspiring candidate for the position of National Youth Organiser of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has advised the youth to stop destroying the party’s symbols and paraphernalia.
He stated that the party colours carried the spirit and the strong identity of the party that distinguished it from other political parties and that no matter the level of provocation or frustration it should not cause anybody to destroy them.
Mr. Sidii, who gave the advice, while interacting with the media in Wa, said he became sad when news reached him that some irate youth of the party had defaced the front view of the party’s Regional and Constituency Offices in Wa, as a way of registering their displeasure about some changes made by President John Dramani Mahama.
The aspiring National Youth Organiser condemned the act, describing it as an unfortunate incident, which should not be allowed to repeat itself in the history of the party in the region or anywhere in the country.
Mr. Sidii said the party would not be able to win the 2016 election without a vibrant and disciplined youth wing that would rise above the odds and claim victory for the party in 2016.
Mr. Sidii, who is in the Upper West Region to solicit support to contest the party’s National Youth Organiser position, described himself as a team player, who would offer a dedicated and selfless leadership that the youth could trust and rely on.
He said there was no time for arm chair leadership any more within the party, and that, under his leadership, he would create departments for research, communication and fund raising among others to generate concrete information and resources to support the party in the 2016 elections.
Mr. Sidii said social media network politicking was gradually catching up, especially with the youth, and promised that, under his leadership, he will provide the constituency youth offices with laptops, to enable them to connect with each other.
Mr. Sidii, who contested the position four years ago and lost narrowly, believes this time round, he would clinch the position to better serve his party and help win power, come 2016 general elections.
