THE Tamale Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), Alhaji Abdulai Haruna, has called on persons appointed to serve in various capacities in any elected government to exhibit modesty and honesty in discharging their duties.
He stated that since they held such positions in trust for the people, they must remember to exercise the authority given them to meet the aspirations of the people.
Alhaji Haruna stated this in a solidarity message to commemorate the June 4 celebration in Tamale.
He entreated members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and youth groups within the party to work as a team to ensure effective implementation of the party’s manifesto.
The MCE also urged them to put the past behind them to help recapture power in the 2012 general election and help consolidate the gains so far made in the country’s democratic dispensation.
“We believe that June 4 was significant and still relevant as all forms of suppression, oppression, corruption and discrimination that were eliminated had resurfaced during the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration,” Alhaji Haruna stated.
He urged Ghanaians to rally behind President John Evans Atta Mills and his vice, Mr John Mahama, to lead the party to effectively implement the party’s manifesto, as well as consolidate the gains made as a result of the June 4 and the 31st December revolution.
“We are again urging the cadres to identify themselves with the united cadre front, as well as work themselves into the mainstream of the structures at all levels in the party to ensure that ideas and principles they believed in were adhered to,” Alhaji Haruna stated.
He said, “As a result of these antecedents, we are held to a higher standard of accountability than our political opponents; the principles of June 4 and 31st December revolution are the basis for our present democratic system.“
