Alhaji Masawudu, the 3rd National Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has launched a scathing attack on Dr Mustapha Hamid, former Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA)

According to Alhaji Masawudu Mustapha, Hamid was so arrogant during his tenure as the National Petroleum Authority boss.

He disclosed that Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid never answered calls from the party’s national executives.

Speaking on Atinka TV, Alhaji Masawudu stated, “Someone like Mustapha Hamid was so arrogant. We even had to report him; he has been a national officer, youth organiser, became a Zongo Minister and even CEO of NPA.

He should have been the one to respect the party’s national executives. Could you believe nobody in the National office, the ten of us can call Mustapha Hamid for him to answer the call. Our minister did not give us the respect that they were supposed to give us as National officers ”.

Some Ghanaians reacting to Alhaji Masawudu’s claims stated, “He wasn’t that type of person wai. He was so humble and down to earth. How can you make such a terrible statement about him? Please, we want peace in the party. Let’s stop making these statements about our party people”.

A netizen added, “Not disputing his claims, but at this material moment, it’s clear that this is sheer bitterness aimed at denigrating his contender, @MustaphaHamid Buga, the days for this kind of politics are far gone .

You can do better!!!”.

Another X user added, “When you read the OSP charges on Dr Mustapha, you realise that most of his charges are related to some donations to the NPP party, and so I wonder what this man is talking about

Was it because some of the national executives felt entitled, or they had a personal banter?”.

In related news, Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid has officially announced his intention to run for the NPP National Vice Chair position.

The former NPA CEO highlighted that the decision follows persistent calls from the rank and file of the party urging him to contest.

According to Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, his ambition is not driven by personal gain.

Dr Abdul-Hamid, in his statement, further traced his long-standing involvement with the NPP to its formative years.

In a press statement to party faithful, Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid stated, “In the past few days, there have been persistent calls for me to run for office as a national executive member of our great party. The rank and file have sent out a clarion call to me, to place my experience, institutional memory and strategic insight at the disposal of our collective revival. I have listened

Therefore, I hereby formally announce my decision to vie for the position of National Vice Chairman when nominations open.

This is not an ambition born of personal gain, but a desire to give back to the party what it has invested in me. Under the tutelage of the late Lawyer J.K B. Spio, I was a founding member of the UCC branch of the NPP in 192. I was present at Victoria Park in Cape Coast when we lit a bonfire to signal the transition from Danquah-Busia Club to New Patriotic Party (NPP) on 18th May 1992. I ran for National Organiser in 2001 and lost. I was the first elected National Youth Organiser of the party. I ran for General Secretary in 2005 and lost. I served as Spokesperson for Candidate Akufo-Addo for 10 years. I served as Deputy National Campaign Manager for the party in the 2020 election. I have been forged in the fire of battle. I have won some and lost some. I have the scars to show.

I am a scholar in the true sense of the word. I believe I have enough intellectual firepower to give covering fire to whoever will be elected as chairman.

Together, we shall re-strategise, rebuild and reorganise and return this party to its rightful place in leadership. The battle to recover our nation begins from within. Victoria Ascerta”.
