The group said Mr Zongbil, who is a Contractor and Assembly Member for Kanvilli, in the Sagnarigu District, was capable of driving the developmental agenda of the district area, given his track record as an Assembly Member for two consecutive terms.

Mr Alhassan Zakaria, Secretary of Concerned Citizens of Sagnarigu, who addressed a press conference at Kanvilli, a suburb of the District, said Mr. Zongbil used his links with non-governmental organisations to bring social development to the area and would do more if appointed DCE for the District.

Mr Zakaria touted Mr. Zongbil's experience as the Chairman of the Finance and Administration Sub-Committee of the District where he suggested innovative ways that raised revenue.

He also described Mr. Zongbil as a unifier saying: His people management skills have led him to make peace among clans and families, who would have taken their conflicts to a bigger and more dangerous dimension.

He said Mr. Zongbil was a committed member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who in diverse ways, supported the NPP's 2016 Parliamentary Candidate for the area as well as defended the Party at various platforms leading to its victory in the 2016 elections.
