NDC VICE CHAIRMAN DENIES EMBEZZLING SUNYANI CONGRESS FUNDS



Former Member of Parliament for Zabzugu constituency and northern regional NDC
Vice Chairman, Hon. Jagri Mohammed has denied the allegation leveled against
him by members of the NDC Gbewaa Youth group in Tamale over his alleged
embezzlement of resources that were allocated for their trip to the recently
held Sunyani congress.
The Gbewaa youth group in Tamale at a news conference addressed by the
Chairman, Salman Sibri demanded that the NDC regional vice Chairman should be
relieved of his post or else he will find it uncomfortable to operate at the
regional secretariat in Tamale.
Responding to the accusation, Hon. Jagri Mohammed said he was nowhere near
funds allocated to the NDC regional secretariat meant for organizing the
recently held Sunyani congress.
According to him, he joined the delegates and party supporters from the
northern region at Techiman to Sunyani for the congress and wondered how he
could have had in his possession monies meant for the congress.
The former Zabzugu MP advised NDC youth to always use party structures in
settling their grievances and stop rushing to the media to settle their scores
with their leadership.
Hon. John Jagri Mohammed who wants to stage a comeback for the Zabzugu
constituency seat on the NDC’s ticket in 2012 urged all NDC supporters to
strengthen unity in the party by embracing the outcome of the Sunyani congress
that overwhelmingly endorsed President John Evans Atta Mills as the flag bearer
for the 2012 general elections.
Jumping to his defense, Alhaji Umar Yussif Alhassan, the northern regional NDC
Secretary rubbished the allegation leveled against the vice Chairman and
described him as a hard working team player.
