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

But the MCE, Musah Superior, in a\u00a0Facebook post rubbished the allegations, saying they\u00a0were baseless and \u201cabsolutely false.<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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\u00a0that,\u00a0this is the first time a Tamale MCE has worked so prominently in our communities. I am proud of my relationship with the grassroots.\u201d<\/p>\n

Below is the letter withdrawing the impeachment process
\nHon PM,
\nNOTIFICATION OF WITHDRAWAL<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.
\nSeveral reasons accounted for this decision. Among which include:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> 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<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong>The Islamic clergy also prevailed on us to rescend our decision.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong>The Hon PM in his small way contributed to this current position.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n
