I'm a stranger in NPP - Hawa Yakubu

Iron Lady, Mdam Hawa Yakubu, a political force of consequence has told the county that she is regarded as a stranger in the NPP, The Ghanaian Voice reports.

Speaking on a popular GTV programme, “Kweku-One-On-One” last Sunday she said there were many people in the NPP who had made her felt that she was a stranger. She said there are many in the party who would have wished that she does not open her mouth at all. That she must be mum and not comment on things if she sees them going wrong.

Madam Yakubu claimed that it is unfair and sad that the NPP, which claims to be a national party does not have officers from the Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions.

Madam Hawa Yakubu said the three Northern Regions were short-changed at the negotiation table. She revealed that there was a negotiation that made a northerner to step down for Eddie Annan for the National Vice Chairman’s position, adding that although the National Organiser, Lord Commey, is good material, he was supposed to have stood down for somebody from the Northern part of this country.

The Iron Lady said although she enjoys the support and patronage of President Kufuor she feels disgusted at the attitude of some top-men in the party who seek to isolate her and make her irrelevant.
