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.

Signed by Seidu Kamal

In an apology letter sighted by Citi News, Bugri Naabu said the allegations made were “a slip of tongue” as he had no ill-intent towards the Upper East Regional Minister.

Mr. Bukari was quick to deny any involvement in the death of the late Chairman, and gave Bugri Naabu 48-hours to retract the allegations or face a lawsuit.

Bugri Naabu, on his part, noted in the apology letter that, he called Mr. Bukari immediately he realized he had erred with his comments.

In his letter, he said “I write to sincerely and unreservedly retract wholly my comments about your client in an interview I granted Accra-based Radio XYZ.”

“I note, most regrettably that those rather unfortunate comments have since Monday 8th May, 2017, gained wide publicity and may have implications for an ongoing trial in the High Court.”

He further described Mr. Bukari as his brother and said, “under no circumstances would I seek to tarnish his hard won reputation.”

The allegations formed part of the fallout from the war of words between Bugri Naabu and the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Otiko Afisa Djaba.

After claims by Madam Otiko to the effect that Bugri Naabu was receiving gifts from persons with the promise of securing appointments in public office for them, the latter, in a subsequent media interview, raised eyebrows when he alleged that Madam Otiko and Rockson Bukari were “deeply involved” in the murder of the former NPP Upper East Regional Chairman, Adams Mahama.

Adams Mahama was attacked with acid on May 20, 2015, and subsequently died after sustaining extensive acid burns and acute respiratory distress syndrome, according to the autopsy report.
