Tension is reportedly mounting amongst executives and some members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Tamale, as a group affiliated to the party has disclosed the Northern Regional Chairman of the party, Mr. Bugri Naabu’s involvement in a plan to sabotage President Akufo-Addo’s visit to the region.
The group, ‘Get All on Deck’ alleged that Bugri Naabu asked them to disgrace the President who is to visit the region this Friday, October 6, 2017.
A statement issued by the group on Tuesday purported that Mr. Naabu is not happy with the President over issues regarding appointments of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDCEs) in the region, hence the decision to publicly stage a protest against him.
The statement revealed that the Regional Minister, Salifu Saeed and the Tamale Mayor, Musah Superior are also intended to be victims of the protest.
“We wish to bring to the notice of Ghanaians and members of our party that the plans of some section of the party’s youth to stage a demonstration against His Excellency President Nana Addo, the Northern Regional Minister and the Mayor of Tamale, Mr. Musah Superior, this week before the president arrives is masterminded by chairman, Bugri Naabu,” the statement revealed.
The group expressed their reason for bringing the issue to light saying some NDC supporters were identified among members of the intended demonstration and also because the Chairman “only wanted to use us for his parochial and selfish interest”.
“For the avoidance of doubt, you may have heard that, some youth group last Saturday stormed the chairman’s residence with a petition, complaining about some issues against the northern regional minister. This is one of the schemes of Chairman Bugri Naabu. He paid us GHC10, 000.00 to carry out the operation this time around,” they explained in the statement.
President Akufo-Addo began a working visit to the three northern regions on Monday, October 2, 2017 to commission some projects as well as to ascertain developments in the regions.
The 7-day tour is expected to end on Sunday October 8.

No weapon formed against NADAA/Bawumia/NPP will stand! The Battle is Still The Lords...He is NOT a God who sleeps...
Yes, the guy is proving that the only language he understands in politics is not dialogue, but riot. Coming from ***barred word*** into darkness; this man will never change. I believe the NR region NPP wants to teach him a lesson in the next chairmanship contest. Watch out!!!
If this is true, I am really happy and proud to be associated with this particular group of the youth. Not basically on partisan considerations but the fact that we as the youth should start having discerning minds and been able to read in between the lines. Bravo, good for Ghanaian politics. We do not need the likes of Bugri Naabu in our current and contemporary political dispensation.
The same weasel you used against mahama to win power...NPP and this chameleon attitude, I wonder self
So the NORTHERN REGION NPP can't you find someone better to lead the party than this weasel ah He is too controversial and quarrelsome.
