The Northern regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Bugri Naabu, has accused leading members of his party of fomenting troubles in the constituency.
He named Member of Parliament for Nalerigu/Gambaga and Local Government Minister, Hajia Alimah and Abdul Nashir Danladi, District Chief Executive are those behind the troubles.
Mr. Bugri Naabu has therefore warned that he would hold both the MP and DCE accountable for any drawbacks in the constituency.

“I’m warning the DCE for Gambaga to stop the confusion he is creating in Gambaga. He is doing this with the knowledge of Hajia Alimah, the Minister for local government.
“If there is any problem regarding this elections, I will hold them responsible. I’m not going to sit down to allow them to create problems. The DCE has no hand in any election neither the parliamentary candidate has any hand in it [sic], this is purely party issue.”
Listen to Bugri
The party in the region on Tuesday issued a statement suspending ongoing processes to elect grassroot executives in Bimbila, Daboya/Mankarigu and Nalerigu Gambaga constituencies, citing insecurity concerns.
Speaking to reporters at his residence after the appointment of Regional Elections Committee Members at Mafara Hotel, Bugri explained that the political tension at Gambaga/Nalerigu constituency was due to the decision by the DCE to disenfranchise other members of the party perceived to be opponents of Hajia Alimah.
He said the Local Government Minister has caused many other “problems” in not only her area in Nalerigu/Gambaga other districts and has therefore called on the National Chairman to call her to order.
“She (Hajia Alimah) is creating problems in the region, not in Nalerigu alone; she extends it to Yunyoo, Bunkprugu and Gushegu, and therefore I’m appealing to the National Chairman to warn her to stay away,” Bugri Naabu complained.
Meanwhile the local government minister who is MP for the area and DCE wasn’t available to comment on the issue.
