A group of young men and women in the Tamale Metropolis has called a bluff of President John Dramani Mahama a few minutes after he had inaugurated the rehabilitated Tamale Airport. The group numbering about five hundred was spotted in red coloured attire around the Tamale Airport.
According to the spokesperson for the group Musah Huzairu the president has expanded the Tamale Airport, which now allows pilgrims to fly straight to Mecca. “Muslims in the three Northern regions appreciate this gesture”, Musah Huzairu noted. The group however, noted that a mere decentralization of the operations of the Hajj Committee does not mean the president has solved the problems that Muslims in the North face.
A member of the group Azumah Alhassan also observed that government is in power to fix the challenges confronting the citizenry. “So if Mahama has expanded the airport does it mean we must burn the sea?” According to Azumah Alhassan the Mahama led administration has crippled Muslims.
He alleged that it is the NDC government that has scrapped monthly allowances meant for Arabic Instructors in the Northern region. “If you cut the source of my income and you expand airport how do you expect me to pay for my Hajj fee?, Azumah Alhassan questioned.
The group expressed their intention to speak to the press in the coming days on how the scrapping of the allowances for Arabic Instructors is impacting negatively on the lives of the affected persons and their families.
