In a strongly-worded response, Yussif Danjimah, Northern Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has lashed out at former Tamale mayor, Musah Superior, accusing him of hypocrisy and failing the party during his tenure as mayor.
Danjimah’s outburst came after Musah Superior recently criticized a decision taken by the party’s Regional Executive Committee (REC) regarding disciplinary measures against a party officer.
In a statement, Danjimah recalled that Musah Superior had previously used the party’s constitution to challenge his(Danjimah) own appointment as deputy regional secretary but was now contradicting himself by opposing the REC’s decision based on the same constitution.
He was given an opportunity as mayor of Tamale for four years, and he failed to help the party. He couldn’t even unite the party during his tenure, Danjimah charged, adding that the former mayor’s time in office was marked by division within the party.
Danjimah also emphasized that the officer in question had apologized for his misconduct and that the party should forgive him and move on. He pointed out that Musah Superior’s actions contributed to the current discord within the party, yet the former mayor now sought to play a critical role in resolving issues.
Musah Superior should stop that hypocrisy. He should be the last person to write a lot of nonsense these days, Danjimah stated emphatically, calling for unity and closure on the issue.
Mr. Danjimah’s remarks came after the former Mayor of Tamale voiced his strong disapproval of the recent suspension of Abdul Fatawu Adam, Northern Regional Nasara Coordinator of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), following what he calls an “unnecessary and unstrategic” decision.
Superior, in a statement shared on social media, expressed concern over the approach taken by the NPP’s Northern Regional Executive Committee. He emphasized that the suspension of the Nasara Coordinator, so close to the upcoming December elections, could do more harm than good to the party’s internal cohesion.
This exchange highlights ongoing internal tensions within the NPP’s Northern Region leadership, as party officials grapple with disciplinary actions and their broader impact on unity ahead of upcoming elections.
