Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaak, has reacted to the letter sent to the presidency by Dagbon State over the renaming of the Tamale Airport.
The Dagbon State has issued a letter in which it expresses its wish to the president to name the Tamalee Airport Yakubu Tali International Airport.
It is the position of Dagbon State that the renaming of the airport after Tolon Naa Yakubu is unacceptable.
It added that the renaming will be contentious and counterproductive.
The letter, which was issued and signed by Ya-Na Abubakari II, said he was the one who released the land for the airport.
He added that since the announcement of the renaming, he has received several calls in opposition to the decision.
Reacting to this, Dr. Apaak said the partisan approach towards the renaming of state institutions and facilities is what has caused this.
He slammed the government over the matter, stating that a new government under the leadership of former president John Dramani Mahama would address the issue.
He assured Ghanaians that all institutions of state that this government has, through partisan means, renamed would be reversed.
“You see where the needless partisan-induced renaming of public places and institutions is leading to? Ghanaians should be rest assured that John Dramani Mahama will reinstate the original names of all these public places and institutions when he is elected President of Ghana,” he said.
