Otiko Djaba was deeply involved in Adams Mahama's death - Bugri Naabu
The Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu has alleged that Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Otiko Afisa Djaba was involved in the killing of NPP’s Upper East regional chairman, Adams 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.
