The Sissala Youth Forum has expressed deep disappointment and concern over the lack of representation in the John Dramani Mahama's led Government.
According to the Youth group, despite their trust and allegiance to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), all this while, it saddened them not to have representation in the current government. "We, the youth of Sissala Land, are deeply disappointed and concerned about the lack of representation of our people in President John Dramani Mahama's government.
Despite our trust in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to redeem itself by appointing competent Sissala individuals to ministerial positions, our hopes are dwindling," their spokesperson said.
Addressing the media at Tumu, the Municipal capital of the Sissala East on Friday, February 7, 2025, the spokesperson said "As one of the three major ethnic groups in the Upper West Region, number one producers of quality maize and contributing massively to the agricultural fortunes of this country we are perplexed as to why our people have been overlooked in the appointment of ministers." Sidiki Mumuni, President of the Sissala Youth Forum claims the Sissala people have a significant presence in five out of the eleven constituencies in the region, making their exclusion from ministerial appointments all the more egregious. "Historically, other parties have recognized the value of Sissala representation, providing our people with eight years of ministerial appointments.
