According to him, such elements take advantage of petty squabbles in the NPP to denigrate the name of the party which abides by the rule of law.

John Boadu’s comment comes after police at Savelugu-Nanton on Thursday June 15, 2017 clashed with some group purporting to be youth of the NPP over the appointment of the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE).

The joint force of executives from Savelugu and Nanton – who are against the appointment of the Municipal Chief Executive, Hajia Ayishetu Seidu stormed the Assembly’s office complex on Thursday morning to prevent her from reporting to work but was stopped by the police.

The same group on Friday June 16, 2017 stopped a planned demonstration in solidarity with the embattled MCE, Hajia Ayishetu Seidu.

They have since vowed to kill anyone who steps out to demonstrate in support of the MCE.

But John Boadu on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Friday stated emphatically that majority of those who perpetrated the crime are not NPP members.

He explained that, while watching news about the incident on Television, he realized the leader of the group was from another party.

The NPP man who is also the National Organizer appealed to the media to be circumspect on the kind of people they interview on their platform when such incident occures.

This notwithstanding, John Boadu appealed for calm as they work to resolve the MMDCEs issues amicably.

The youth earlier vandalized some party properties including billboard for the party after President Akufo-Addo nominated Hajia Ayishatu Saidu as Municipal Chief Executive for Savelugu/Nanto Municipality.

Military and police had warned the youth on Friday evening after they issued Press statement to resist electoral fraud and manipulations and vowed to attack the electoral college, raising tensions in the municipality which has history of political violence.

Hajia Ayishatu Saidu confirmation witnessed heavy security presence as the youth came prepared to cause chaos.

After the vote Hajia Ayishetu got 50 out of 64 vote, representing 78.13 per cent of the total votes with 14 voting against her.

Hajia Ayishetu Seidu was sworn into office by the Northern Regional Minister Salifu Saeed.

Hon Saeed cautioned her to open her doors and welcome all persons in her administration no matter their political affiliation.

“The president has asked me to tell you that from today, you represent the entire Municipality, open your doors to everybody whether government officials or opposition members. Listen to their views and collectively take decisions, decisions should not be my say is final but everybody’s view”.

The new Municipal Chief Executive Hajia Ayishatu Seidu accepted the position and thank all his supporters and pledged to work with the constituents to ensure that  President message of hope will seen in the Municipality.

“The rain that fell right after my confirmation signifies that I come in peace, I thank all that supported me after my nomination and I pledge to work in conformity and unity with the constituents to ensure the message of hope by the president is seen in the Savelugu/Nanton Municipality.”
