For the third consecutive time, the angry residents staged a demonstration against the MCE and have vowed to prevent her from working.

[contextly_sidebar id=”2eKFwXRUCdZDdKjsEQk4mO70DXNfXA67″]Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show, Mr Gunu said the faction between the two individuals if not addressed might affect the fortunes of the NPP.

“The angry Savelugu residents have staged a number of demonstrations against the  Hajia Ayishetu Seidu, and have vowed to prevent her from occupying the office even at the peril of their lives.

“If such a thing should happen, there is a possibility that it will ruin our chances come 2020 because the constituency is a strong hold of the NDC and this is the first time we have won the seat. It is a very fragile situation. If we don’t take time and handle it properly, the party is likely to lose come 2020 elections,” the MP said.

According to the protesters, the MCE is an alien who played no role in the party’s victory.  They have also accused her of paying for her confirmation.

They say they are not bothered by the security implications of their actions, since they believe they are in the interest of the Savelugu-Nantong Municipality.

Hajia Alima begs Savelugu residents to accept MCE 

Meanwhile the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Hajia Alima Mahama has appealed to residents of Savelugu to desist from preventing their MCE from working.

Speaking at a one-day National Validation Workshop on Draft Fee-Fixing Guidelines, Hajia Mahama said “the MCE has been confirmed so I expect the media people to educate the people to know that the woman has been confirmed. In fact, she was confirmed on the first try.”

Some angry residents of the area opposed to her confirmation have vowed to resist any attempt to allow her work in the office.

[contextly_sidebar id=”R3sSpqKutuz1a2kepmYupgZQfk6Z5g2c”]Hundreds of residents of the Savelugu-Nantong Municipality including some NPP constituency executives for the third time today (Monday), demonstrated against her confirmation.

They held placards with inscriptions such as “Go back Hajia,” “We don’t know Hajia,” “We will never accept her,” “Nana Hajia Alima Mahama is misleading you” among others.

They have remained steadfast that any attempt to impose Hajia Ayishetu Seidu on them will be fiercely resisted.

In a petition submitted to the Municipal Coordinating Director, they maintained that she is an alien in both Savelugu and Nantong constituencies for which reason she should be replaced.

The Spokesperson, Karim Zakari, claimed that Hajia Ayishetu Seidu never participated in any party activities ahead of the 2016 polls.

They also accused the Savelugu/Nantong MCE of bribing assembly members to confirm her.

They warned that the NPP risked losing the Savelugu and Nantong constituencies at the 2020 polls if Hajia Ayishetu Seidu is not replaced.
