Trade Minister's Boy Suspended from NPP Communications Team in Northern Region

A letter signed by the Regional Communications Director of NPP copied to Soireenews said, his suspension follows his participation in a radio program which is in violation of the party's regional chairman directives.

"My attention has been drawn to your participation in a program on Radio Tamale (a Tamale-based radio station) designed for the sole purpose of advancing the campaign of a purported flag bearer aspirant. This program and your participation in same is in clear violation of a directive issued by the Northern Regional Chairman of the NPP for party people to cease, among others, all media engagements purporting to campaign for flagbearer hopefuls”, Director Sheriff mentioned.

“As you are aware, this directive of Chairman was pursuant to an earlier directive issued by National Council under the signature of the General Secretary and in sync with article 18 of the New Patriotic Party Constitution”, he added.

“As already noted in Chairman’s statement dated 30 December 2021, the unfortunate situation of seeking before time has the tendency to disrupt H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s governance and the peace within the New Patriotic Party in the region, more so, jingles played”, the statement said.

According to him, the words used on the said program are divisive which has the tendency of bringing the party and government into disrepute.

Meanwhile, Alhaji Kaleem and other individuals have been projecting the Minister of Trade and Industry, Hon. Alan Kwajo Kyremanteni on radio Tamale every Tuesday.
