Former DCE under President Mills Joins NPP
A former District Chief Executive (DCE) for
Sissala West District in the Upper West Region
under the administration of the late Professor
John Evans Atta Mills, Mr. Robert Baka Wavei has
cross carpet to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The former government appointee has since thrown
his weight behind NPP Parliamentary candidate for
Mr. Patrick Adamah whom he has described as a
father and a relation.

At a political rally at Sorbelle he said
“election is not merely about political parties
but anyone who will bring development”. People
support and follow political parties where they
are respected. If your father, mother or son
deserts you, you can look for a father outside of
your home. If you also leave your hoe at the farm
it, can get burnt by wildfire or consumed by the
termites”.

Balu Mohammed of Tumu-based Radford Fm, reports
that the new convert bemoaned the high cost of
fertilizer which has left many farmers grappling
to pay the school fees of their wards and
questioned why the NDC should attack the policy of
free Senior High School promised by Nana
Akufo-Addo only to turn round and promise same.

“Why should anyone attack the policy of another
person promising to build factories; we should
rather be asking what type of factory and not to
attack them. In September, how many farmers in the
Northern part of Ghana would be able to bring out
One Thousand Nine Hundred Ghana Cedis as school
fees for their wards? You will need to sell
several bags of maize to pay these fees and how
many of them can do that”, he quizzed

He was not happy that government has withdrawn
teachers and nurses’ allowances indicating that
many parents are not financially capable of
catering for their wards at the tertiary levels
and only depend on these allowances to cushion
themselves.

Mr. Robert Baka who is a retired nutritionist from
the Ghana Health Service appealed to the
supporters to follow parties that will give them
respect.

“I will come into your communities after
today’s event as we wish Patrick Adamah is given
a ministerial appointment to help him bring
development to the people should the NPP win. A
lot of people are aware of what I have gone
through, ”Alhaji knows why I am saying all of
these things today” he concluded.
