The Member of Parliament for Savelugu in the Northern region says the ruling party’s Chairman of the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) Selection Committee, Peter Mac Manu is to blame for the chaos in the area.
According to Abdul Mohammed Saeed, Mr. Mac Manu failed to heed to the plea of constituents who were against the candidature of Hajia Ayishetu Seidu.
His comment follows the clash by the youth of Savelugu-Nanton in the Northern region over the appointment of their Municipal Chief Executive, Hajia Ayishetu Seidu.
The joint force of executives from Savelugu and Nanton who are against the appointment of the MCE stormed the Assembly’s office complex on Thursday June 15, 2017 to prevent her entering his office.
But speaking with Adom News, Mohammed Saeed blamed the clashes on the Mac Manu committee for failing to do due diligence before nominating the MCE.
This notwithstanding, he indicated that, he has engaged eminent persons to mediate between the two parties for an amicable solution.
Hon. Saeed however called for the withdrawal of the military and police personnel from the area to ensure peace in the district.

The resort to police and military to quell demonstration by citizens is a sign of incompetence on the part of nana addo. He is not in charge. The man is just sick and is seeking medical attention outside in disguise that he is on working tour. Let remove him from office very soon.
PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF THE PARTY, LETS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE.LONG LIVE NPP,LONG LIVE NANA
HOW COULD THEY HEED TO ADVICE WHEN THEY USED THE SELECTION OF MMDCEs AS AN AVENUE TO AMASS WEALTH. THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS MAJOR CONSIDERATION IN MOST OF THE PLACES WAS THE HIGHEST BIDDER. THEY DID NOT CONSIDER PARTY LOYALTY AND COMPETENCE. THE CASE OF SAVELUGU IS A TYPICAL EXAMPLE. THE MCE IN CONTENTION NOW IS NOT KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITY,BUT BCOS SHE IS A VERY CLOSE FRIEND TO THE MINISTER OF LOCAL GOVT(HAJIA ALIMA MAHAMA)SHE WAS ABLE TO BUY HER WAY THROUGH WITH THE MINISTER'S SUPPORT. THE SAVELUGU NPP YOUTH ARE FIGHTING A JUST FIGHT. THEY SHOULD NOT GIVE UP.
