The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC], Johnson Asiedu Nketiah says the youth in Salaga felt 'fooled' after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo swerved them of the regional capital status of the newly created Savannah Region.
He alleged that the NPP during the 2016 General election campaign promised the people of Salaga to bestow on them the capital if they voted them into power.
“You see, when you keep promising all the people of one position and you don’t fulfill it, you get these kinds of responses from them,” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.
However, the Northern Regional Minister, Salifu Saeed, has said the rampaging youth that torched the office of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Salaga South on Tuesday will be dealt with according to the law.
The youth became angry following the selection of Damango as the regional capital of the newly created Savannah Region. They had wanted Salaga to be selected as the regional capital instead.
Salifu Saeed, who has been appointed by the President as the caretaker minister for the newly created North East and Savannah regions, said razing down billboards and setting fire to buildings are strictly criminal.
“The security [personnel] are on the ground . . . I am going to hold a REGSEC [Regional Security Council] meeting . . . those who are destroying properties are going to be treated as criminals,” he said.

WHAT IS THIS MAN TALKING ABOUT? I THINK ASEIDU NKETIAH IS INCREASINGLY BECOMING ***barred word*** IN OUR POLITICAL SPACE. WHAT DOES HE STAND TO GAIN TOTAL FALSEHOOD? HMMMMMMM
Creating extra regions had been on the drawing board for very long time. Akuffo Addo did well implementing the idea although both parties wanted to play politics with it. Ghanaians should know that when it is politics followers are treated like idiiiots because majority of the electorate have very little educational background.It is true NPP promised salaga regional capital but that was to score political points
Asiedu Nketia the grays in your hair was grown by yourself. There is some amount of gray matter in your head use it.
HOW DARE YOU DESTROY THE PROPERTIES IN THE CITY YOU WANT TO BE NAMED CAPITAL? DO YOU WANT THE PRESIDENT TO NAME THE RUBBISH YOU ARE CREATING A CAPITAL. CAPITAL CITY DOES NOT CONTAIN BARNARIC PEOPLE, BUT RESONABLE ONE PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND DEVELOPMENT. IF SALAGA CONTAINS SUCH BARBARIC INDIVIDULS, IS THE PRESIDENT NOT JUSTIFIED IN BY-PASSING THAT CITY AND SEDNDING THE CAPITAL SOMEWHERE ELSE?
edey pain NPP papa haha Asiedu bo ho bio
Liar there he goes again trying to score cheap political points from this barbaric act, you should be bowing your head down in shame, some people who want to rule us, it will never happen again if you guys don't stop the propaganda, deceit & lies. God help Ghana.
ASIEDU NKETIAH AND THE NDC ARE DIRTY LIARS. HE TALKS BY HEART BEFORE THINKING. THE NDC IS A DISARSTER WAITING TO HAPPEN AFTER 2020. JUST WAIT AND SEE.
Do you see how you are shrinking by the day, if you don't stop the lies you will keep on shrinking. The President did not promise anybody a capital for the new regions to be created. He did not even an idea of the regions and its demarcations, how could he have promised the people of Salaga. Meanwhile the people who were agitating never mentioned a failed promise but rather the only Constituency in Gonjaland with NPP MP as such they need to be rewarded by the New Regional capital. MR MAN KINDLY LEARN TO SPEAK THE TRUTH.
This dude always stoke confusion and LIES because his profits from them! Let Asiedu Nketia know that we the right thinking Ghananians have known all that makes him what he is in NDC. LIES!
You and jimii keka de3. ***barred word*** sei ara. You got to grow from that childish talks. Ghanaians are discerning now!!!
