The Chief Director of the Health Ministry Alhaji M.N.D Jawula who has come under intense pressure to resign after he was seen adorned in NPP colours on Sunday’s rally says those calling for his resignation have no justification for such calls. Citing a Supreme Court ruling in the case NPP vrs. Opoku Manu and Dr. Oteng in 2000, Alhaji Jawula said “one has to resign at the point of filing the nomination.” Alhaji Jawula has come under fierce criticism since he was spotted in party regalia at the NPP Kasoa rally at which the flag-bearer of the party, Nana Akufo-Addo was formally out-doored. Since then many have called on him to resign for violating the Civil Service Code which bars civil servants from displaying partisan political loyalty. But Alhaji Jawula who is also a chief and tipped to be chosen as the running mate to the NPP flag-bearer, Nana Akufo-Addo explains that since he has not filed for any nomination there is no basis for the call for his resignation. Asked if he would resign after his nomination as running mate to Nana Akufo-Addo, Alhaji Jawula told but he explained that “on moral grounds” and “by [his] discretion” he would resign before the electoral commission opens nominations in September. He told Adom FM “I will leave after am nominated, look this is based on the Supreme Court ruling am not flouting any rule,” he said. The Lepo Wura said his detractors were only engaged in cheap propagandist politics targeted at vilifying him. Referring to the former Chief Executive the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Prof. Kwabena Frimpong Boateng, Alhaji Jawula said he resigned only at the point when he was about to file his nomination for the flag-bearership of the NPP. Responding to allegations that while the NPP was in opposition he (Alhaji Jawula) denied then candidate Kufuor access to his house, Alhaji Nuredeen Jawula said the allegations made by the NDC were false and baseless. He was in Egypt at the time and could not have thrown president Kufuor out of his house. He said “Look this one will not wash; they have tried it and it didn’t work, who was there to hear that I said I will not allow the President to sleep in my house when I was far away in Cairo,” Jawula asked. “They are joking, we the party people know where we have come from and we cannot allow anyone to do politics just because they want a position,” the football administrator noted.
