The Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Daniel Bugri Naabu, has appealed for calm in Walewale after some irate youth protested against the presidents new nomination of District Chief excutive (DCE).

Saka Sayuti, the first nominee of the president, was rejected by the Walewale District Assembly after he failed to convince assembly members to approve him.Addressing a press conference on Saturday, Mr Naabu said the action of the youth was “embarrassing” while appealing for calm.

He also urged the aggrieved youth to use the party structures to address party issues.

He said:“I want to tell the party executives, the party members, the youth of the New Patriotic Party in the West Mumprusi district, Walewale, to calm down.

"Their concerns will be addressed properly and therefore they should not do that to embarrass the party, the government, and the president."“I know well that their grievances are their rights. I also share the same sentiment with them, but the way they are going about it is not right.

"They should leave it with me, their chairman. I will communicate the truth of the whole issue to the president. I’m appealing to them.”
