In a concerning development that could impact the upcoming 2024 general elections, reports have surfaced regarding the behavior of certain members of the NPP Flagbearer, Dr.Mamoud Bawumia’s campaign team, particularly the military detail, in Bawku.
During the NPP flagbearer’s recent visit to Bawku, tensions flared when some members of his military detail reportedly exhibited disrespectful and arrogant conduct towards other military personnel stationed in the area.
Allegations surfaced regarding a clash between WO Gyabaah Richard, a member of the advance team of THE Vice President, and Major Ankamah, the OC of Bawku.
WO Gyabaah Richard allegedly demanded that the military personnel in Bawku pay him compliments, a request that was met with resistance as per military protocol since Major Ankamah outranked him.
The situation escalated as WO Gyabaah Richard purportedly disrespected and insulted Major Ankamah, leading the latter to charge him for misconduct.
In a concerning turn of events, Brigadier General JM Punamane, allegedly associated with the Jubilee House, intervened in the matter and reportedly threatened Major Ankamah to withdraw the case or face consequences, leveraging his alleged ties to Dr. Bawumia’s office and the Jubilee House.
Moreover, Brigadier General Punamane has been accused of using his influence for personal gain, including seizing state lands at Amarhia Derry Farms and engaging in questionable land transactions, potentially tarnishing the reputation of Dr. Bawumia’s team.
The unchecked behavior of individuals like WO Gyabaah Richard and Brigadier General Punamane, known for their alleged abuse of power and accumulation of wealth, poses a risk to Dr. Bawumia’s electoral prospects among the military and the public at large. It is imperative that such misconduct and abuse of power be addressed promptly to safeguard the integrity of Dr. Bawumia’s campaign and ensure a fair electoral process.
The actions of individuals tarnishing the reputation of the campaign must not go unchecked, and a return to the humble nature exemplified by Dr. Bawumia is crucial for the success of the party.
As tensions rise and concerns mount over the behavior of certain members of Dr. Bawumia’s team, vigilance and responsibility are paramount to uphold the values of respect and professionalism within the campaign and beyond.
