Chairman Bugri Naabu in a Citi News interview earlier claimed the NPP Northern Regional Secretary, Sule Salifu is usurping his power as the regional Chairman.

 

He chided Sule Salifu for issuing out a Parliamentary nomination form to Mohammed Hafiz who resigned as NPP Organizer in the Savelugu constituency to join the Parliamentary race.

 

The action of Daniel Bugri Naabu according to the Concerned NPP Youth Group in Tamale is an affront to the party’s guidelines on the upcoming Parliamentary primaries.

 

The group’s Spokesperson, Yussif Danjumah has impressed upon the Paul Afoko led national headship to sanction Daniel Bugri Naabu.

 

“Owing to the long standing accumulated attacks on the national executives and party leadership by the northern regional Chairman, we deem it necessary to call the attention of the national executives to the effect that their silence on the incessant attacks by the regional chairman of NPP in northern region on national executives now descending to party regional executives is unfortunate.”

 

“The silence of the national executives on the attitude of the northern regional chairman is unfortunate and we are calling on the Paul Afoko led leadership of the national executives to take action: to take the necessary disciplinary measures to sanction the regional chairman appropriately, what he is doing in the northern region is going to affect the fortunes of the party in the northern region,” Yussif Danjumah lamented.

 

Meanwhile, the Tamale Central NPP Nasara Coordinator, Abdul Rahaman Samari has called for ceasefire on the media warfare.

 

He said the NPP needed a united front to wrestle power from the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2016.

 

“The media war should be stopped immediately because it is not helping us: we are giving our opponents ammunition to use against us.”

 

Abdul Rahaman Samari reminded party leadership and members to use internal conflict resolution mechanisms to address their grievances.

 

“If anybody has any grievances I think the party has channels and any concerned members should use the channels to make sure that we always portray the good side of the party in the media but attacking each other to me is unnecessary.”

 

He advised the Savelugu constituency Chairman to operate in line with the party’s constitution.

 

“The Savelugu Chairman should also adhere and make sure that they all go in line with the party’s constitution and that is the best way to go: NPP has been a patriotic party, the party is for everybody and nobody deserves the right to deny any other person of being a member.”

 

Abdul Rahaman emphasized party unity as the surest bet to winning the 2016 general elections.

 

“For the sake of power come 2016 we need to be united and the leadership at the top there have set the example and I am proud of our national Chairman, Paul Afoko and the General Secretary for the way and manner they have managed to keep the party up to now and the current peace that we are enjoying in the party.”
