He alleged that two ministers in government are involved in the plot that led to the death of Mahama.
"Otiko has been a controversial woman in the party. As I’m telling you, this Adams issue, she was deeply involved, so because of that most of us who know her will call her a controversial woman," Bugri Naabu said in an interview on Accra-based Radio XYZ.

Over the weekend, Otiko had an altercation with Bugri Naabu on Friday in Tamale after the NPP National Women's Organiser said she went to meet women organisers of the party in the Northern region.

Otiko Djaba, however, alleged that Bugri Naabu has collected people’s monies, goats, cows and other things from people and promised them jobs with the School Feeding programme.
She stated that "it is not the mandate of the regional chairman to decide who is a caterer [to the School Feeding programme]."

Bugri Naabu in response to the gender minister said "You’ll be surprised that some of these people who masterminded the killing of Adams have come to take positions in the government… like the Upper East Regional Minister. He was deeply involved in the masterminded killing of Adams."
Who is Adams Mahama?
At age 49, Alhaji Mahama was the Upper East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He stood and won the NPP chairmanship during the last NPP congress, the first time he contested a party executive position in the region.
He was an aid to former Vice President Alhaji Aliu Mahama, handling a lot of his internal activities. He had a very high commitment towards his duties, sometimes to a fault.

He was also active in the formation of bases known as Parliament for NPP youth in the Upper East Region and also provided logistical support for party activities.
He strongly believed in his conviction and nothing would distract him from achieving those principles so far as he believed that they were the truth.
In many instances, that stance won him a lot of following among the Zongo community and in a way it helped grow the party’s numbership, particularly in the north.
Alhaji Mahama was an energetic person who brought on board a lot of the youth to the NPP, but his excesses and over-enthusiasm also created some challenges for the party to manage.
Adams had been in the news recently after some hired thugs chased out the party’s National Chairman, Paul Afoko, and General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong, from a meeting in the region.

The incensed thugs allegedly attacked the national executive members and others with sticks and broken bottles for organising the meeting without informing the regional chairman.
The timely intervention of the police prevented a bloodbath.
Adams, who was accused as the mastermind of the melee, later apologised but cautioned national executive to respect party structures.
Family
Alhaji Mahama was married to Hajia Zainabu Mahama, 45, and had four children by her: Humu Mahama, 24; Rukaya Mahama, 22; Abukakar Mahama, 15, and Illiasu Mahama, 10.
