President John Dramani Mahama as part of his cabinet reshuffle has replaced the Northern Regional Minister, Alhaji Mohammed Muniru Limuna with Abdallah Abubakari, a defected member of the Peoples National Convention (PNC).<\/p>\n
Alhaji Limuna, who was moved from the Upper East Region to the Northern Region in a similar cabinet reshuffle, is \u00a0now going to the Ministry of Food and Agriculture.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”nee2MiAGd7yH1OQRXrVmglIUudzU3ZIU”]He succeeded in developing the region to an appreciable level and his major unfinished agenda is the implementation of the roadmap to peace in Dagbon.<\/p>\n
Alhaji Limuna in collaboration with the Otumfuo-led committee of three eminent chiefs mediating the Dagbon chieftaincy dispute, was almost through with the agenda to perform the final funeral rites of the late two Dagbon overlords.<\/p>\n
The incoming regional minister, Abdullah Abubakari, is a Mamprusi and a social development worker.<\/p>\n
He quit his job as Action Aid Ghana’s Programmes Manager and contested the 2012 Parliamentary election in the Walewale constituency on the ticket of the Peoples National Convention (PNC).<\/p>\n
Abdallah Abubakari crossed carpet to the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and he is the party’s 2016 Parliamentary candidate for the Walewale Constituency.<\/p>\n
The new appointment has been described as a calculated attempt by the NDC to politically break through the Mamprugu land where the NPP’s Vice Presidential candidate, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, gained considerable\u00a0control during the 2012 elections.<\/p>\n
