The Northern Regional executive committee of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has condemned the New Patriotic Party (NPP) regional Chairman, Daniel Bugri Naabu over his ethnocentric comments.
[contextly_sidebar id=”v8Tp9Lauz0jS7l68yB2Hvphr2LYnUWr8″]The outspoken NPP regional Chairman has incessantly accused President John Dramani Mahama of sidelining Konkombas in his administration.
It is against this backdrop he has asked all Konkombas to reject the NDC at the polls in 2016.
But the NDC Northern Regional executive committee has warned Daniel Bugri Naabu to stop making ethnocentric sentiments.
The NDC Deputy regional Secretary, Sualisu Be-Awuribe in a Citi News interview advised Daniel Bugri Naabu to stop inflaming ethnocentric passions.
“Yes there is nothing wrong to call for representation of your people in various ways but when you have a checkered track history and indeed you are going ahead to making not just any kind of statements that will inure to your political fortune but to polarize the people of the north that is terrible and unfortunate.”
He said the NDC had a solid record of appreciating the contribution of Konkombas to national development.
He mentioned the appointment of former Northern Regional Minister, Moses Bukari Mabengba as Ghana’s Ambassador to Angola and other Konkombas occupying high profile positions in government to buttress his point.
Sualisu Be-Awuribe encouraged well meaning Konkombas to call Daniel Bugri Naabu to order.
“All of us must condemn him and I know the good people who are Konkombas are also not comfortable with his statements and he must be called to order: ever since he was made the NPP regional Chairman he has never spoken anything good.”
He posited, “This is an advice I am giving to him as a father to desist from making such comments because we are in a specific region which has got its peculiarities and with its own history and some of these things will not be helpful for our forward movement but will rather retrogress us.”
