Last week, government workers, including teachers, deserted their post following threats from a group calling itself the Concerned Members of Banda Ahenkro.

The group complained that non-natives had taken over their jobs.

[contextly_sidebar id=”5P2fUTPhaSJ8oeeYeTsgVb9UZRF3GNlL”]The National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP for the area, Ahmed Ibrahim, subsequently blamed the NPP in the area for the threats.

But the NPP insisted that it has no hand in the incident, and rather accused the MP of masterminding it.

Speaking to Citi News, the First Vice Chairman of the NPP in the Banda Constituency, Peter Donkor, maintained that they do not have any hand in the threats.

“We have no hand in that matter because now NPP is power and we want the district to develop. Why do we send people away whilst they are coming to develop the district for us? So we don’t have any hand in this matter. So if Ahmed Ibrahim is alleging that it is the NPP youth who are doing that, he [MP] must be held responsible.”

“In the first place, he instigated some people in the NDC, to chase the former DCE in the area. We are calling on all strangers who exited the area because of this problem to come back and help the district to develop,” he added.

Banda chiefs threaten to curse group behind threats

Chiefs in the Banda Township have threatened to invoke curses on persons behind the threats.

Addressing a news conference, the Paramount Chief of the town, Osabirima Okokyeredom Kwadjo Sito, gave the group a one-week ultimatum to apologize or face the consequences.

“If you know you are behind this, we are giving you one week to come out and apologize to us because we are about to take an action that will bring dire consequences on the culprits. What we are about to do will bring a curse on those people and their family members,” he said.

According to the NPP, Mr. Naabu was offered a brand new V6 Mitsubishi, a brand New V8 Land Cruiser and GHc 3.3 million to resign from the NPP and paint the NPP Flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo as a dictator and damage him “beyond electability.”

Addressing a press conference today [Tuesday], the Spokesperson of Nana Akufo-Addo, Mustapha Hamid, reminded fellow sceptics of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that “President Mahama and his people have not relented in their evil ways and means to  use our own people to work against the NPP.”

According to Mr. Hamid, on Friday, October 28, 2016, Bugri Naabu was invited to meet President Mahama in a meeting set up by Ibrahim Mahama and one Mohammed Awal after six months of trying.

“Around the same time, Ibrahim Mahama had tried to convince Bugri with money to leave the NPP to become a chief after Daniel Bugri Naabu’s uncle died, but Bugri refused,” he added.

“According to the President, Bugri should paint Akufo-Addo as a rabid anti-northern person who could never be trusted to advance the people of the north… he was supposed to say that Akufo-Addo was knocking the head of one northerner against the other.”

According to Mr. Hamid, they [NDC], were going to give Mr. Naabu a brand new V6 Mitsubishi, a brand New V8 Land Cruiser, GHc 3.3 million, and on the spot they brought Mr. Naabu GHc 500,000 in GHc 50 notes.

Mr. Naabu then went to the Abbosey Okai branch of the Prudential Bank the next day [Saturday], and deposited the GHc 500,000 in his account, Mr. Hamid narrated.

The NDC later fulfilled the promise of the Mitsubishi, which was delivered to Mr. Naabu on November 2, and Mr. Hamid showcased the documents of the Mitsubishi V6 to journalists present, which indicated the change in ownership.

Mr. Hamid also revealed that the vehicle was imported in August 2016 by a firm called Malin Investments Company Limited.

He noted that the NPP’s checks at the Registrar General’s Department indicated that, the two of the company’s Directors are Hawa Mahama, sister of President Mahama, and Frank Nuhu Alormasor, President Mahama’s personal assistant.
