Chairman of the National Hajj Board Alhaji Abdul Rauf Tanko Ibrahim, has been elected as the incumbent National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary candidate for the 2016 elections, in the Yagaba-Kubori constituency of the Northern Region.<\/p>\n
As a former Member of Parliament, he stood unopposed and was overwhelmingly endorsed during Saturday\u2019s presidential and parliamentary primaries.<\/p>\n
Alhaji Abdul Rauf Tanko Ibrahim told Citi News that the chiefs and people of Yagaba-Kubori called for his return to serve them, hence his decision.<\/p>\n
The National Hajj Board Chairman said he never neglected his constituents since he left office.<\/p>\n
He vowed to continue supporting the education of the youth among other social interventions. According to him, he was very instrumental in the creation of the Mamprusi-Mogduri District.<\/p>\n
He thus promised to accomplish his unfinished transformational agenda which he started as the first MP for the constituency which was carved out of the Walewale constituency.<\/p>\n
According to the National Hajj Board Chairman, the NPP MP used deceit and won the seat in 2012.<\/p>\n
He chastised Yussif Mustapha for failing to meet the aspirations of the constituents in line with the numerous campaign promises he made at the last elections.<\/p>\n
Alhaji Tanko Ibrahim is optimistic he will wrestle the seat in 2016 against the backdrop that the constituents have lost confidence in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP, Yussif Mustapha.<\/p>\n
