Some members of the NPP youth in the area have claimed that the aforementioned pair have been taking monies from members who wish to be named District Chief Executives (DCEs) in the constituency.

Harisu Abudulai, who identified himself as the leader of the group, said Sulemana and his secretary have abused the offices they occupy, claiming there is a conscious effort to lobby for one Ibrahim Abdulai to be chosen as DCE in the area.

The chairman and his secretary were also accused of forging the signature of the Bole Chief in a letter appended to the party’s hierarchy to get them to accept the said Ibrahim Abdulai as the DCE.

“The Bolewura (Bole Chief) has denied any knowledge of such a letter. Interestingly the said Ibrahim Abdulai is the younger brother of the constituency secretary.

“The constituency secretary was installed chief of Wakawaka in November 2014 and instead of resigning his post as secretary as stipulated by law, he still currently engages in active politics and perpetuating such crimes to serve his personal and parochial interest,” Harisu fumed.

According to the group, the two party executives do not want the progress of the party, accusing them of even campaigning against the party’s parliamentary candidate in the constituency.

“In fact, the 2016 parliamentary candidate (Madam Veronica Alelefule) was told in her face by the constituency secretary he was going to campaign against her. The above result is a clear outcome of what the two officers who are supposed to seek the welfare and growth of the party rather did beyond all imaginations,” Harisu added.
