The immediate past Minority Leader in Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu, has denied posting any information on social media regarding the change in leadership announced by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He said those social media handles do not belong to him.
“For the record, I wish to state that the said Facebook and Twitter Accounts do not belong to me and that I have never owned a Facebook or Twitter Account neither have I caused any such Account to be opened and operated in my name,” he wrote.
This was contained in a release dated January 23, 2023 in reaction to a post on Tuesday that read, "Never let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be. I will, and forever serve my country."
“Indeed, I have never been on social media. I have never had or caused to be opened and operated in my name, any form of social media Account. The said Accounts purported to be in my name are therefore FAKE and so are the posts,” Mr. Iddrisu stressed.
The MP for Tamale South therefore urged the public to disregard any statements posted on the two platforms.
“I therefore entreat the general public, particularly the rank and file of our great NDC Party, to ignore the posts with the contempt they deserve. The creation of the Accounts and the posts therein are mere attempts by detractors to sow seeds of discontent within the hierarchy of the Party and to smear my person but they shall definitely FAIL. I have no doubt that the truth will always prevail,” he concluded.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Tuesday announced a reshuffle of its leadership in Parliament. The Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu and the Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak, both with close to 20 years of experience in Parliament were changed as leaders of the Caucus.
A letter signed by the party’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey announced Dr Cassiel Ato Forson as the new Minority Leader with Emmanuel Kofi-Armah Buah as the Deputy Minority Leader.
MP for Adaklu, Kwame Governs Agbodza was also named as the party’s new Minority Chief Whip, taking over from Asawase MP, Muntaka Mubarak.
This decision was berated by many supporters of the party including Tamale Central MP, Murtala Mohammed who questioned the timing and relevance of the decision.
Some supporters of the party in Tamale were also unhappy with the changes and called on the party to rescind its decision.
A meeting between the Minority and the party leadership has been scheduled for January 31 to settle the differences arising from the reshuffle.
