Alhaji Farouk Aliu Mahama, New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Yendi has stressed the need for the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON), of the party to remain determined and resolute in working for the interest of the party.
He also implored them to at all times stick to the founding principles of TESCON, which has become the intellectual organ and the number one breeding ground for future leaders of the party and the nation at large.
Alhaji Farouk Aliu Mahama made the emphasis when he addressed members of the Greater Accra Regional TESCON Boot Camp at the University of Ghana Business School in Accra.
He reminded them of the fact that young people represent the life and soul of the NPP political tradition, and urged them to remain very instrumental in promoting the ideas and ideals of the great NPP tradition, which his late father lived and died for.
Alhaji Farouk Aliu Mahama who is also the Board Chairman of the Ghana Integrated Iron and Steel Development Corporation (GIISDEC) used the opportunity to task the TESCON membership to sell the good works of the NPP Government, which has demonstrated a strong commitment to tackling the very challenges confronting the nation’s youth through various interventions and policy frameworks.
He said: “As the youth of the NPP, we may have a tougher responsibility, but breaking the eight (8) is a MUST DO for us. We must convince Ghanaians that changing a productive regime merely because they have lasted for eight years is not healthy for a country that seeks progress.
“We must prove beyond any reasonable doubt to Ghanaians why the party must not go after its two-term regime cycle. Beyond singing the chorus of ‘Breaking the Eighth’, we must critically engage our minds forthwith”.
The Yendi legislator also made a donation of Ghc10, 000 to support the programs and activities of the Greater Accra TESCON and pledge to support the National TESCON when the need arises.
Mrs. Francisca Oteng, a Deputy Minister Designate for the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection advised members of the confederacy to remain loyal and continue to work hard for the party’s success in the 2024 election to break the eight.
Mr. Sammy Awudu, the Director-General of the National Lottery Authority eulogies the late Vice President, Alhaji Aliu Mahama, and made comments about his good works of him and how that transformed his son Alhaji Farouk Aliu Mahama, which made him MP for Yendi.
He charged the TESCON Members to be good ambassadors of the party by promoting the good work of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led administration and also defending the NPP whenever a lie is told on the party.
