THE New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Upper West Region has refuted assertions by some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the region that it caused the removal of the former Regional Minister, Mr Mahmud Khalid.
It noted that events which led to the immediate dismissal of Mr Khalid were purely an internal NDC affair and, therefore, the NDC must concentrate on solving its problems rather than pointing accusing fingers at the NPP.
A statement signed and released by the Upper West Regional Secretary of the NPP, Mr Stephen Engmen, therefore, urged members of the NDC to stop dragging the name of the NPP through the mud.
It described events which lead to the dismissal of the minister as unfortunate and said the NPP was worried about the development in the region and not that of a few individuals who were fighting for their selfish needs.
The statement further said contrary to claims that the former regional minister was awarding contracts to NPP people, the NDC had rather consciously refused to award contracts to people perceived to be NPP sympathisers.
The statement, therefore, called on the NDC to deliver on its promises and find solutions to their recent intra party wrangling and stop drawing the NPP into such confusion.
It further described Mr Khalid, the former Regional Minister, as a sacrificial lamb who had been sacrificed to appease a few people to the detriment of the interest of majority of the people.
The statement further noted that it was totally wrong for the NDC to misinform the world that NPP members were benefiting from contracts from the NDC when in actual fact it was not the case.
