All 31 elected members of the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly who initiated moves to impeach<\/strong><\/a> <\/span>the Tamale Metropolitan Chief Executive, Iddrisu Musah Superior<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>have finally backed down their decision.<\/p>\n This followed the intervention of chiefs, religious and opinion leaders within the Tamale Metropolis.<\/p>\n The Assembly Member for Nakpanzoo electoral area, who spoke for the\u00a0aggrieved members, Mohammed Alhassan, today (Tuesday), confirmed their decision to Citi News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”kulQCMqSfKRWjzKmS6UDsJsOdjDYU2Lw”]He clarified that they were not against Iddrisu Musah Superior’s personality, but his conduct as the head of the Assembly.<\/p>\n “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.”<\/p>\n “…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.”<\/p>\n Mohammed Alhassan insisted that, their concerns as chronicled in a signed resolution were legitimate and therefore called for immediate redress.<\/p>\n “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.”<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n They also claimed he recruited two of his personal assistants and paying each Ghc1,400 monthly.<\/p>\n
