PETITION AGAINST THE NATIONAL YOUTH ORGANISER AND CO TO STEP ASIDE.
SUBMITTED TO THE NATIONAL DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE THROUGH THE GENERAL SECRETARY
Name of complainant: IDDRISU SALIFU Designation/Locus:
Regional Youth Organiser- Northern Region.
Aide to Dr.Edward Mahama
NARRATION OF EVENTS On 21st June, 2016, we had a call from one television station in Accra announcing to us a supposed press conference to be staged by the youth front of the party led by the national youth organiser at 10:00am at the party’s headquarters, Accra.
The theme of the conference was to support the Ford Expedition gift to the president of Ghana.
Conferring with the leader, national chairman and general secretary, they all expressed surprise and denied knowledge of same. Consequently, the flag bearer and leader ordered his security to go to the party headquarters to guard and prevent them from carrying out unsanctioned arrangement. Since he had already expressed his view on the matter.
See link below; https://m.myjoyonline.com/marticles/politics/gift-saga-i-would-have-rejected-the-offer–edward-mahama We later got information that the Greater Accra regional chairman offered his private office to the national youth organiser and his people to carry out the conference.
Later, the communication director, Mr. Emmanuel Wilson, distanced the party from the so called press conference.
Again, see the link below
