Mohammed Salisu withdraws application for MCE position

The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the Ejura-Sekyedumase Assembly in the Ashanti Region, Mohammed Salisu Bamba, has withdrawn his application for reappointment to the position.

This was contained in a letter addressed to the MMDCEs Vetting Committee.

He did not state in his letter whether his action is specifically linked to the disturbances that ensued in the municipality two weeks ago, which led to two deaths and injuries to four others.

He, however, said he took the decision for the peace of the municipality and the general growth of the New Patriotic Party.

“I write to withdraw my application for the position of Municipal Chief Executive of Ejura/Sekyedumase Municipality.

“I arrived at this decision for the peace of the Municipality and the general unity and growth of the New Patriotic Party,” the letter said.

Mohammed Salisu Bamba also thanked President Nana Akufo-Addo for appointing him to the position in his first term, and also thanked the people of Ejura/Sekyedumase for voting for him as an MP in the 6th Parliament.

“I express sincere appreciation to H.E the President of the Republic for the confidence reposed in me to serve in his first term of office.”

“I also graciously thank the good people of Ejura/Sekyedumase constituency for giving me the opportunity to serve them in 6th Parliament between 2013 and 2017.”
