Tamale – Musah Superior, former Mayor of Tamale, has 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.
Mr. Adam’s suspension, according to a circulating letter, was due to comments he made on social media and other platforms, which the party claims caused “significant damage.” However, the letter Superior reportedly says failed to detail the specific nature of Adam’s offence.
Musah 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.
Mr. Superior also argues that instead of suspending Adam, the party should have referred him to the Council of Elders for guidance, as he believed counselling would have been more beneficial in handling the situation.
He called for careful management of internal challenges, particularly in the months leading to the election, to prevent any potential weakening of party unity. He warned that suspending members for expressing their views undermines the party’s core values and could endanger their goal of “breaking the 8,” the NPP’s slogan for winning a third consecutive term in office.
The former mayor appealed to the party’s Disciplinary Committee to urgently review the decision and reinstate the Nasara Coordinator, allowing him to continue his mobilization efforts.
He added that the party must adopt more diplomatic and open-minded approaches to resolving internal conflicts in the future, stressing the need for “political correctness” in such matters.
The NPP has yet to respond to Superior’s comments, but his statement has sparked conversation within party circles, with some members agreeing that a more lenient approach could help maintain party unity ahead of the elections.
