Executives of the New Patriotic Party in the Bongo Constituency have disassociated themselves from the accusations of attempting to remove their District Chief Executive as posted by Wilson Dabuo, a party member. Apexnewsgh.com report
According to Wilson Dabuo in a Meta post on Friday, August 26, 2022, he accused the Bongo Constituency Executives of what he says is an attempt to remove District Chief Executive Rita Atanga from office.
Mr. Dabuo additionally pointed a finger at the former District Chief Executive Peter Ayinbisa for being the brain behind the DCE’s removal agenda.
However, responding to the accusation, the Bongo Constituency Executives of the governing New Patriotic Party said, their mission in going to Accra was not to remove Miss Rita Atanga from her position as Bongo DCE but to resolve the misunderstanding between the DCE and the party Executives which they said, is currently affecting the party growth and unity in the area.

PRESS STATEMENT
For immediate released
To: All media Houses
The attention of the Constituency Secretariat of the New Patriotic Party in Bongo has been drawn to a piece authored by Wilson Dabuo. The said piece is captioned as “Peter Ayinbisa Ayamga: The Problem of Bongo Constituency has now become the Problem of the Region’s Communication Team. An Avoidable Bad Omen”.
As much as we would have wanted to ignore this loose cannon, we are reluctantly responding to his piece of scraps to reassure our numerous members in the Constituency that we were elected as officers to work for the interest of the Party and we are prepared to do just that.
Aside, it is increasingly becoming clear that, Wilson Dabuo is an imposter with an unbridled ego who is always ready to throw tantrums at any person and anywhere once few cowries are thrown at him. We are aware of his love for money and the use of his persona as a vehicle to denigrate others at any beck and call, however, the extent at which he goes about it nowadays is a disgrace to the youth and the Institution in which he is currently working under. The public would recall that in 2019, this same Wilson was suspended from NPP Regional Communication Team for making baseless statements and virtually denigrating the persona of former deputy Upper East Regional Minister and then member of parliament for Zebilla, Hon. Frank Adongo Fuseini. As one of the spokespersons of our respected party, one would expect that he would exude the highest level of discipline, accuracy and sense of maturity to reflect the goodwill and image of the New Patriotic Party.
Though he later apologized and was subsequently recalled to the team, one thing that is not recalled off him is his penchant to say anything once the thoughts money crosses his mind. Once again, he is at it because of his perception that he has been deprived of money.
It is not our duty as Constituency Executives to respond to issues concerning the Regional Communication Team and what happened during the President’s recent visit to the region, however, the deliberate dragging and wanton denigration of the Constituency Chairman and Executives’ hard-earned reputation in the mud in that manner is what we wish to address.
It is of public knowledge that, the Bongo Constituency Executives disagreed with certain decisions taken by the District Chief Executive which does not engender trust and unity among the rank and file of the Constituency. Several efforts to have such issues resolved at the constituency level proved futile. Subsequently, such issues were escalated to the regional level by the Constituency Executives in our bid to address such problems between us and the Hon DCE. As much as the Regional Executives together with the Hon Regional Minister tried in resolving the issues, same remained largely unresolved to the extent that, the Constituency Executives cannot have a meeting without armed thugs from the Hon DCE disrupting them.
Matters involving political thuggery are not only affecting the cohesion of the Party in the Constituency but the general operation and development of the District. It is of great worry to every citizen and more especially members of the District Assembly that as at now, the District is yet to organize an Assembly session to elect a Presiding Member for business of the Assembly to go on. It will only take members with tainted love for the Party like the likes of Wilson not see this as concern that needs urgent resolution. As Executives elected to the further course of the Party, we see it very worrying and repugnant to the antecedence of our tradition of rule of law for an Assembly not to have organize any Assembly meeting as yet. Hence, as an interested group and a major stakeholder in the developmental discourse of the District, we will take every necessary step including but not limited to, our recent visit to Local Government Minister’s Office to have the issues confronting Bongo resolved. To do this and have a member who claimed to have much love for the Party describing this constitutionally bound duty of ours, as an assortment to an individual (Peter Ayinbisa Ayamga) interest is most distasteful and mind boggling. It must be put on record without hesitation that the Hon Former DCE, Ayinbisa Peter was not part of the delegation. We are grown enough and well educated to dance to the tune of an individual.
Again, the claim by Wilson that, the Constituency Executives are seeking the removal of the Hon. DCE only demonstrates his character of spewing out lies mostly driven by motives other than genuineness. The Constituency Executives have always maintained that, they prefer the path of working peacefully with the DCE for the good of the Party in the Constituency to her dismissal. For want of a better word, the Constituency Executives have NEVER asked for the DCE to be removed from her position.
Regarding the claim that, the Executives were denied access to the His Excellency, Vice President is most laughable. It is only people like him that cannot have such access not Executives who are working for the interest of the party to break the eight.
In conclusion, we urge all well-meaning citizens, especially members of the New Patriotic Party to ignore this rabble-rouser since there is no iota of truth in his rattles. Whilst this will be our first and last of giving him the slightest dignity of responding to him, we urge all and sundry to henceforth regard him as a fraudster seeking undeserving attention.
Attached to this press release is a Report addressed to the Honorable Local Government Minister by Constituency Executives. In this report Executives were emphatic about their dislike on any move to have the Honourable DCE removed from Office.
Thank you
Signed
Johnson Ayikene Anaane (Constituency Secretary)
