The Executive Board members of the Yendi Municipal Students Union of the Yendi Municipal Assembly of the Northern Region have pledged support for the Yendi Municipal Chief Executive, Mr Mahama Adama Hudu Walvis, welcoming his nomination and subsequent overwhelming approval as the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Yendi Municipal Assembly.
In a press release signed by the National Secretary of the Union, Mr Musah Amin it stated that the MCE's outright approval by an overwhelming majority from the assembly members stemmed from the fact that his approval rating in the municipality is unmatched.
On behalf of the student body in the municipality, it called on the MCE not to let the President, the entire assembly members and the people of the area down for their confidence reposed in him by discharging his duties without recourse to parochial, religious and factional interest.
It stated that their support for "this forward match is absolute."
The Union stated emphatically that, the greatest problem of the area is illiteracy and poverty, and these adversely always put the municipality into chaos or war-like situation with the slightest provocation.
It further indicated that it was important to bring the issues to the forefront as they may pose challenges to his administration, adding, "a problem identified is half solved."
They said they will continue to lend their support and will also call on all to support him as the new MCE of the area to further develop the municipality.
