Naabu is a liar: N/R NPP Women Organisers

Constituency Women Organizers of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Northern Region have cautioned the Northern Regional Chairman of the party, Daniel Bugri Naabu, to stop peddling lies against the Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Ms Otiko Afisa Djaba.

“We want to clear the air on the purported lies in the news by the regional chairman that the minister came to introduce School Feeding coordinators to them,” the Women Organisers stated.

This follows the disruption of Ms Djaba meeting in the region with NPP Women’s Organisers by the regional chairman with the explanation that Ms Djaba failed to inform him of the meeting since she was in his territory.

Mr Naabu also claimed Ms Djaba was plotting to scuttle the President’s appointment of the regional head of the School Feeding Programme.

But a press statement issued by some women organisers of the party has described the assertions of Mr Naabu as falsehood.
According to the statement: “The Gender Minister was in the region to represent First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo, on the celebration of International Midwives’ Day, being the National Women’s Organiser of NPP, Madam Otiko Afisah Djaba, decided to meet her women organisers.”

The group of women organisers stated “categorically that the meeting was only for the minister to thank her women for working very hard to achieve a resounding victory and moreover to assure us of her commitment to see to the welfare of the women”.

The group said they were solidly behind the minister and will not allow any individual to undermine her authority.

Below is the full statement:
