U/E PNC expresses shock

The People's National Convention (PNC) in the Upper East Region has expressed deep shock at the death of Mr Alando Moses Banaba, Party's Parliamentary Candidate of the Nalerigu Constituency in the Northern Region in Election 2008. Mr Banaba was shot dead on the 12th of November 2009 at Nalerigu by an unknown person. A statement signed by the Upper East Regional PNC Secretary, Mr Henry Fatchu said Mr Banaba was one of the loyal supporters and activists of the Party in the constituency that had made the party one of the strongest in the Nalerigu constituency over the years, adding that the vacuum created as a result of his death was irreplaceable at both party and family level. The statement said the actions that led to the death of Mr Binaba was unacceptable under the present democratic dispensation and should be investigated fully. The statement called on sympathisers and supporters to remain calm and unite while investigations went on in order to bring the perpetuators to book. The statement, however, commended the chiefs and people of Gulugu and the Northern Regional Police Command for their cooperation that led to the arrest of the suspects. The Upper East PNC expressed their heart felt condolence to the bereaved family and prayed that God should give the family strength and courage to go through the difficulty time.
