In a recent event during the Northern Region leg of the NPP’s Thank You Tour, Alhaji Osman Masawudu, widely known as Chairman Buga Buga, has stirred controversy with remarks aimed at Hajia Abibata Shani Mahama, the former CEO of MASLOC.
His inflammatory comments, which included disparaging references to the Akan ethnic group, have raised eyebrows and sparked further divisions within the party.
In a viral audio clip, Chairman Buga Buga was heard lashing out at Hajia Abibata, stating, “you walk about aimlessly like an Asante woman,” while suggesting that, as a married woman, she should focus on her family responsibilities. This outburst occurred in front of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and has sparked significant backlash among party members and the public alike.
Eyewitness accounts reveal that the hostile exchange escalated to the point where Dominic Nitiwul had to step in to defuse the situation. Meanwhile, questions have been raised regarding Dr. Bawumia’s leadership style, particularly his ability to respond assertively in moments of conflict, especially following allegations made by his former aide, Rosemond Obeng.
The implications of Chairman Buga Buga’s comments are concerning, as the Asante people represent a significant demographic within the NPP’s support base. His words seem to directly target this group, and if Dr. Bawumia does not take decisive action to address the growing tensions, the schisms within the party may deepen, potentially jeopardizing the NPP’s unity and public image.
