Acting Presidential Spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has urged National Democratic Congress (NDC) rioting youth in the Bole-Bamboi constituency to exercise restraint.
Some irate youth on Tuesday reportedly burnt car tyres at the residence of President John Dramani Mahama’s father over their MP, Yusif Sulemana’s snub in the ministerial appointments.
However, Mr. Ofosu has admonished that constituents must pride themselves in the fact that President Mahama is an indigene of the land.
In an interview on Asempa FM Ekosii Sen, the Abura Asebu Kwamankese MP stated that was an ultimate prize they must cherish.
He acknowledged that the expectations on regional balance in the appointments are high but all demands can be met and satisfied.
“Sometimes you will try everything possible but a certain dynamic will come up that you will not fulfil it like in the case of the Bole people.
“I can understand that the MP is serving his fourth term and has contributed his part but the people are not focusing on the fact that they have the ultimate prize. The President is from Bole,” he said.
To him, an appointee’s background or hometown do not really matter but their competence.
