A statement issued by the group, indicated that, until their demands are met, the party’s communication team would not work for the party.

[contextly_sidebar id=”sImOGdjg8XB2Gl6v9Yqo4myqbe9ewkJF”]A similar threat was made by the communicators and serial callers of the NPP in the Norther Region in May 2017.

The Northern NPP group calling itself NPP SMS group, is unhappy about what it calls the neglect of some senior communicators including the Regional Communications Director, Mohammed Abdul Kudus, A. Latif, and Yussif Danjumah in Nana Addo’s government.

The  statement, signed by the group’s Vice President, Abdul Rashid Goodman, expressed disgust in the appointing authority’s disregard of the appointment of the communication team members.

Below is full statement from the Upper Region Serial Callers 

The Upper East Regional Communication team of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has declared an indefinite boycott of all communication activities of the party starting 6th June 2017.

The protest is as a result of the fact that, the communication team members seem to be used and dumped immediately the party won power in the 2016 general elections.

Members went through various ordeal including physical attacks both on radio and on the ground in trying to project the party’s laudable policies such as the One district One factory, One Village One Dam etc in the just ended elections.

Upon all these, not even one person among the communication team has gotten any appointment. Efforts to get the National executives to listen to us have proved futile. Hence we shall continue to boycott all communication activities until our demands are met.

A group calling itself NPP SMS group is unhappy about the neglect of some senior communicators including the Regional Communications Director, Mohammed Abdul Kudus, A. Latif and Yussif Danjumah in Nana Addo’s government.

PRESS RELEASE

We the NPP SMS GROUP, a wing of the northern regional communication team is calling on H.E the President of the Republic of Ghana to as a matter of urgency appoint the communicators within northern region in to his government, following the fact that there are competent people among them who can help bring the vision of this government to reality.

It appears that, senior communicators in northern region have been neglected or forgotten since the commencement of appointments.

In fact it is also clear that communicators in the region have performed tremendously as far as the gargantuan and unprecedented victory of the new patriotic party (NPP) in the just ended general elections is concern.

Mr. president, it is un-doubtable they spent days and sleepless nights carrying out the campaign massage of the then opposition party now ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the masses, which the party will need in subsequent elections.

So therefore H.E president Akuffo Addo should include them in his government. Below are few members of the communication team who have shown interest of serving in this government:

Mr. Yussif Danjumah, who is lobbying for the position of Tamale metropolitan NADMO coordinator.in fact this gentleman has served this party with the best of sincerity and commitment and he must reap the fruits of his labor, he has been threatened severally both physically and with texts, to the extend he had to vacate his residence for good three months, just because of discharging his duty as a communicator of the party.

Another vibrant person who worked tirelessly for the party is Mr. King Faisal Yajaara, who is lobbying for Tamale metro youth employment coordinator, this young man has faced lots of threats to an extend he was almost burnt alive in a locally based radio station here in Tamale by name Justice FM, all because he was promoting the vision of the new patriotic party.

Mr. president, our abled and hardworking regional communication director, Mr. Mohammed Abdul Kudus has also been left out, as we have not heard of him being appointed into any of the vacant portfolios.

Last but not least is Mr. A. Latif who is also lobbying for the northern regional Health Insurance Scheme manager is one communicator we cannot forget.

Your Excellency, we cannot talk about the massive victory of the party in the northern region without mentioning and acknowledging the efforts of these communicators and many more.

As a matter of urgency Mr. President, you must adhere to our plight by considering immediate appointment letters to senior communicators in the region, as we believe their efforts must be rewarded accordingly.

We wish to state categorically that, failure to meet our demands within SEVEN DAYS would force as to consider series of action, the least being the boycott of all radio programs in the region.
Signed;
Mohammed Mustapha

The UPCA is a composition of NPP serial callers and social communicators, defending the party in the mass media in the Northern Region.

The party’s Northern Regional Communication’s Director, Mohammed Abdul Kudus at the event, called for enough support to enable the group members diligently perform their duties.

He said such advocacy networks are needed to thwart the governing National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) propaganda machinery.

Mohammed Abdul Kudus tasked the association’s members to by extension, move from house to house and spread the NPP’s message of hope to the electorate.

He condemned government for failing to employ fresh nurses and doctors who have graduated from the nation’s tertiary institutions.

The United Patriots Callers Association Chairman, Mashud Yakubu, alias Tumanikpema, reaffirmed the association’s commitment to increase the NPP’s electoral base in the Northern Region.

He said members were determined to visit villages and market squares, but complained about logistical constraints. Mashud Yakubu implored the splinter groups within the party to join forces and kick the NDC out of office.

Bayaan Umar, Secretary to the UPCA, said President John Dramani Mahama does not deserve a second term.

He asserted that the electorates would commit political suicide by retaining the Mahama-Amissah Arthur led NDC administration in office.

Bayaan Umar claimed the NDC government has monumentally failed in managing the nation’s resources.

He insinuated that the untold hardships unleashed on the citizenry were unbearable for which reason the NDC should be rejected at the December 7 polls.

A member of the NPP regional communication’s team, Yussif Danjumah, reiterated the need for party unity. He warned that internal rivalry and bickering could affect the party’s victory at the December polls.

He impressed upon the NPP youth to remain steadfast and resist any form of intimidation from the NDC. Yussif Danjumah said the NPP deserved victory to build on the foundation laid by the Kufour led NPP administration.

He mentioned pro-poor government policies such as the School Feeding Programme, the National Health Insurance Scheme, free maternal care, capitation grant among others as the NPP’s solid achievements from 2000 to 2008.

Other speakers including the NPP Northern Regional youth Organizer, Alhaji Rashid Salifu, the regional women’s Organizer, Hajia Amama Shaibu and a deputy national youth Organizer, Abdul Salam Mustapha, served notice that they will foil any attempt by the Electoral Commission to rig the elections in favour of the NDC.

They said the NPP could not be in opposition beyond 2016, and posited that the party must win the December 7 elections.
