The group at a news conference today [Thursday], said the Tamale Mayor, Iddrisu Musah Superior, has so far demonstrated that he is on top of his job.

[contextly_sidebar id=”2uSApsr6XPnHOgaF7YF3Xx3EB1yj9PA4″]According to the group’s Secretary, Bawa Abdul Samed, Iddrisu Musah Superior is capable of turning the Tamale Metropolis into an appreciable hub of the Sahel.

The group commended the MCE for decongesting the business areas of the Tamale Metropolis that has ensured free flow of vehicular and human traffic.

The group further thanked the Assembly for sacking commercial sex workers operating at night in the Metropolis. They advocated the need for peaceful coexistence at the Assembly to enable Iddrisu Musah accomplish his task.

They praised the chiefs of the area for their unflinching support and cooperation with the Tamale Mayor.

No more impeachment; Tamale MCE spared by angry members

In November this year, 31 elected members of the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly who had initiated moves to impeach the Tamale Metropolitan Chief Executive, Iddrisu Musah Superior, finally backed down.

This followed the intervention of chiefs, religious and opinion leaders within the Tamale Metropolis.

The Assembly Member for Nakpanzoo electoral area, who spoke for the aggrieved members, Mohammed Alhassan, confirmed their decision to Citi News.

He clarified that they were not against Iddrisu Musah Superior’s personality, but his conduct as the head of the Assembly.
“Chiefs and opinion leaders play a very critical role at that level. So when this petition came out, the chiefs, the opinion leaders including the Imams didn’t rest in their quest to get this issue resolved amicably.”

“…So we have actually been talked to and though it is hard for some of us, we had to take it like that and also let me state it on record that the impeachment was not against the person of Iddrisu Musah Superior, and so we are ready to work with him.”

Mohammed Alhassan insisted that, their concerns as chronicled in a signed resolution were legitimate and therefore called for immediate redress.

“We are backing down on the decision, but the issues that were raised in the petition are still relevant, and we call on other people to put their eye on the Assembly.”

It would be recalled that the aggrieved members in an earlier petition among other nagging concerns, accused Iddrisu Musah Superior of taken unilateral decisions and awarding contracts without due diligence.

They also claimed he recruited two of his personal assistants and paying each Ghc1,400 monthly.

But the MCE, Musah Superior, in a Facebook post, rubbished the allegations, saying they were baseless and “absolutely false.”

“I run an open office and work with everyone cordially. I tour Electoral Areas with them in my Connect with the communities tour. My information is that, this is the first time a Tamale MCE has worked so prominently in our communities. I am proud of my relationship with the grassroots.”

Below is the letter withdrawing the impeachment process
Hon PM,
NOTIFICATION OF WITHDRAWAL

Please be informed that we hereby withdraw the resolution dated the 25th September, 2017 requesting you to call for a special meeting to initiate an impeachment process of Hon Iddrisu Musah – the Metropolitan Chief Executive of the Tamale Metro Assembly.
Several reasons accounted for this decision. Among which include:

1. Timely intervention by our revered Chiefs including but not limited to the Vittin lana, the Banvim lana, and Lamshenaa. Others are Naa Yeba- Gukpena and Naa bapira- Kugnaa

2.The Islamic clergy also prevailed on us to rescend our decision.

3.The Hon PM in his small way contributed to this current position.

4. Most of all the level of remorse the Hon Chief Executive has shown indicates his readiness and willingness to change his usual ways of contravening the Standing Orders.

“In conclusion, we want to reaffirm our commitment to work to with the Hon. Iddrisu Musah to uplift the status quo of the city of Tamale. Blending the expertise of Hon. Assembly Members and his progressive style can bring a tremendous positive change to our dear metropolis.”
