The Northern regional chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu, has warned of a possible conflict among party members in the Northern Region if Konkombas do not get one of their own appointed as District Chief Executive (DCE).
He said the Konkombas feel deceived and cheated by the NPP as the initial plan was for them to support the party to win some parliamentary seats in the area in order to have some of their own appointed as DCEs in return.
He mentioned Gushegu as a classical example where the Konkombas were assured that if the NPP won the seat, a Konkomba would be appointed as DCE for the area.
Speaking to the media, Mr Naabu said: “In Gushegu, Konkombas are threatening to attack our party facilities and destroy them because they feel deceived and cheated. It was an agreement [among] them and the Vice President and the regional chairman and even the President that if they should vote for the MP to win, the Konkombas would be appointed as DCE.
But now they have realised they have been deceived, because the MP is the Deputy Minister for Tourism, Alhaji Tampuli is the Chief Executive Officer for the National Petroleum Authority, and Rita Tani is a Deputy [High Commissioner] to the United Kingdom, and just the DCE position for the Konkombas. They have been denied again and so there is tension brewing in the area.”
Mr Naabu said in view of this, he would meet with the President and the Vice President for an amicable resolution.
He disclosed he has officially written to the Northern Regional Minister, Salifu Saeed, to hold on to the confirmation of the nominees for West Mamprusi and Gushegu district chief executive.

People should stop blaming Bugri Naabu and face the truth.Is time our leaders and for that matter politician to stop promising certain line of tribes or certain individuals of rewards after victory. Remember you are going to govern the whole country and not certain tribes or individuals after elections.If is true that the persons Bugri Naabu mention indeed promise these people then they must fulfil the promise. If you promise a tribe or individual then you must fulfil your promise.Is like hiring someone to do something for you. When the job is down you must pay or reward the person for the job down
ONLY KOKOMBAS? WHAT A TRIBAL PARTY IS THIS?. NO ONE IN THE CENTRAL REGION IN CABINET?. HAWAH KUMSON NOT FROM THERE.SHE IS NORTHERNER.ONLY THE HUSBAND WHO IS FROM THERE. TYPICALLY CENTRAL REGION OUT. NPP FOR YOU!!!. FOOT FOOT FOR THOUGHT.
thats my man. Daniel Bugri Naaabu. No bagwaya
This ***barred word*** should not be voted again as regional chairman.
KEEP INSULTING. WE ARE WWAITING
If nana addo and barwumia do not act as leaders and keep going round to meet disgruntled party faithful on every unnecessary brouhaha, sooner or later the whole nation would take them by storm because all groups of persons would like to meet them when there is any i called for grievance. What leaders do is be firm and without favor. If today, kokombas are complaining and you yield to them, tomorrow it would be dagombas or gongas, then gas, Kronos, fantis, ashantis, akyems, wasas, ahantas and nzemas. This will make the country ungovernable because you can't kowtow to others and leave the others. The president and his vice must be firm and damn the consequences, because Ghana is a nation and not tribal.
Richard don't be happy of the fall of the NPP for they will rise again stronger that is what God says but for our enemies they will never rise again to be in power. I think we need to share it equitably because for whatever they live by their ethnic groups in the north and sharing must be done carefully. I don't know why they get angry when a position is given to someone from the nearest town or village and if care is not taking it leads to a big fight.Ghana has come far for this to happen but it's all because we allowed ndc to take most part if our independence to destroy us and send us over 100 years back. If this never happened in the Gold Coast and early Ghana why now? The people who have ruled the longest are primitive and have send us back hence all these unnecessary happenings. Ndc is not good for Ghana discard it in the dust bin.
Bugri Naabu is the cause of the Youth unrest in the Northern Region. He must be checked immediately. Is it a force that a Konkomba be appointed a DCE. He is becoming tribalistic.
This Bugri Naabu is such a m0ron! How did he get the position he is occupying? Disgusting!
This man should be brought to his senses. What is the difference between his statement and what emerged in Savelugu recently regarding the protest by the youth against the DCE.
