Questions Mount Over Savannah Regional Minister’s Competence as Grassroots Anger Deepens

Image
Recent comments by outspoken NDC communicator Bakari Shaibu, popularly known as “Cbroda,” have exposed what appears to be a growing crisis of confidence in the leadership and governance style of Savannah Regional Minister, Hon. Salisu Be-Awuribe. From Cbroda’s sharp criticism, one disturbing message stands out clearly: many party loyalists are beginning to question whether the Regional Minister is truly competent enough to occupy such a sensitive political and administrative office. According to Cbroda, the Minister has not only failed politically in managing the NDC grassroots, but has also shown signs of weak leadership, poor governance coordination, and an apparent inability to unite party supporters behind the government’s agenda in the Savannah Region. In a political environment where grassroots mobilization and stakeholder engagement are essential, the Minister’s alleged detachment from party loyalists is increasingly being viewed as administrative incompetence rather than mere...

IS THE NDC GOVERNMENT DELIBERATELY SUPPRESSING THE GROWTH OF THE LARABANGA ISLAMIC SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL?

Image
The Larabanga Islamic Senior High School, established in 2024 under the Nana Addo/Bawumia administration, is the most recent addition to the public Senior High Schools in the Savannah region. This school's creation fulfilled a promise made by Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia to the chief Imam and elders of the Larabanga community in November 2016, as he sought their prayers and support for the 2016 elections. During the NPP's time in power, from 2017 until the school's establishment,  leaders like Mr. Saeed Muaz Jibril, the MCE, and Lawyer Samuel Abu Jinapor, the MP for the Damongo Constituency, worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life. The school features a two-storey building with twelve classrooms, separate dormitory blocks for boys and girls, a modern administration block, and housing for teachers. Notably, electricity was extended from the Larabanga community to the school by Lawyer Samuel Abu Jinapor, enhancing its infrastructure. Under the Nana Addo/Bawumia administ...

H.E JOHN MAHAMA's STORY TELLING VISIT; PACKAGED IN LIES, DECEIT, AND INSINCERITY. A REMINDER TO STOLEN NPP PROJECTS

Image
 For Immediate Release  Monday 16th June, 2025. The President, H.E John Mahama, a few days ago undertook a boisterous yet boringly rhetorical visit to the land of his birth, the Savannah Region. It's trite knowledge that, Mr. Mahama displayed a wishy-washy attitude in his mandate as MP, Deputy Minister, Minister, Vice President and President toward the needs of the region. With a rare second chance to shift the needle this time around, his first official visit after ascending to the Presidential throne showed a walk in the old path-ways of neglect and parched developmental agenda. As a leader, truth, honesty, and inclusivity are key ingredients to succeed; the President has chosen once again to deceive the Chiefs and people by making ambivalent statements on major projects in the Region started by the erstwhile NPP Nana Addo/ Bawumia government. The simplest of task is to allow the due process to continue and then supervise the completion for the benefit of the people. Mr. Pr...

NPP Damongo Mourns Hon. Winifred Mbemah: A Pillar of Loyalty and Service

Image
  The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Damongo Constituency is mourning the painful loss of one of its most dedicated and long-serving leaders, Hon. Winifred Mbemah. His death, after a period of illness, has left a deep void in the hearts of party faithful and the wider Damongo community. In a heartfelt press release signed by the Damongo Constituency Assistant Secretary, Mr. Ndodu John, the party described Hon. Mbemah as “one of our long-standing and dedicated leaders.” He served as the fifth constituency chairman of the NPP in Damongo from 2012 to 2017 and was also a respected assemblyman for the Hangaline/Ngberipe electoral area for an impressive ten years. These two key roles positioned him as a grassroots mobilizer, community advocate, and loyal steward of the party’s vision. His commitment to the NPP dates back decades. “Hon. Mbemah was a key figure in the NPP since the era of Adu Boahen and remained committed to the party until his sudden illness,” the statement said. Eve...

Out with the Chalk, In with the Markers! Osramanae JHS Gets a Classroom Makeover

Image
Something exciting just happened at Osramanae M/A Junior High School — and trust Jakpa Gossips to bring you the scoop first! Thanks to the energetic team of Lead For Ghana Fellows at the school, three old, dusty blackboards have officially been kicked out and replaced with sleek, modern Formica markerboards. Yes, Osramanae classrooms just got a glow-up! Teachers had been dealing with all sorts of stress — from eye infections caused by chalk dust to constantly ruined outfits. The old blackboards weren’t just outdated; they were affecting health and making teaching harder than it needed to be. Fast forward to 2024, the Fellows at Osramanae JHS saw the need for change and got straight to work. They launched a fundraising campaign to ditch the chalk and bring in the whiteboards — and guess what? The community showed up! A special shoutout goes to Shiloh’s Hotel in Kete Krachi for being one of the key supporters. Thanks to their generosity (and others too), the new boards were bought and of...

HEALING FROM WITHIN: WHY THE NPP MUST LEARN FROM THE NDC’S QUIET CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Image
 By: HON.ATTAKORA 0548741444 In every political tradition, internal disagreements are inevitable. Parties are made up of people passionate individuals with different ambitions, ideologies, and strategies. But how these internal disputes are managed often determines whether a party emerges stronger or becomes weakened, disoriented, and vulnerable in the eyes of the public. As the New Patriotic Party (NPP) grapples with post-election realities, leadership transitions, and ideological crossroads, it is critical to reflect deeply on how we manage our internal challenges especially in comparison to our main rivals, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).  THE NDC'S QUIET FIRES Contrary to public perception, the NDC has never been free of internal struggles. Leadership battles, ideological shifts, and generational tensions have all played out in their ranks. From the post-Mills era through the Mahama-Kwesi Botchwey introspections and recent power alignments within their national e...

Image
 Electing Emmanuel Korsi Bodja as NPP National Organiser will be A Masterstroke of Political Strategy The race for the position of National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party has attracted keen interest. Mr. Emmanuel Korsi Bodja, the current Volta Regional Organiser's ambition to transition into the role of National Organiser is not just a personal political aspiration but a bold and strategic move that could reposition the NPP’s national appeal and operational strength.

However, amidst these challenges, Mr. Bodja has stood out as a relentless and strategic party man, working against the odds to expand the NPP’s footprint in one of its most difficult terrains.

THE INJUSTICE, SYSTEMIC INEQUALITY, HYPOCRISY AND BLAME-SHIFTING IN THE GHANAIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM: AN APPEAL FOR REVIEW

Image
   For years, Ghana’s educational system has suffered from structural injustice or systemic inequality imposed by leadership decisions. One major concern, which the above poem vividly highlights, is the categorisation of Senior High Schools (SHSs) and the biased placement of Junior High School (JHS) pupils into these schools. Currently, SHSs in Ghana are put into three categories: A, B and C, with Category A being the highest and Category C being the lowest. When this policy was first introduced, some visionary citizens of Ghana including the leadership of Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) raised legitimate concerns against it because of its inherent challenges, and suggested that it should be reviewed. The GNAT secretary, Mr. Thomas Tanko Musah, in particular, in an interview with City News argued that the ranking of the schools would create a negative impression in the minds of students and parents as some would think that some schools are good and others are bad...

Franklin Cudjoe’s Claim on GUTA is False: Evidence from the Nana-Bawumia Era

Image
 By: Habib Mandeya Abukari  In a recent commentary, IMANI Africa’s President, Franklin Cudjoe, claimed that this is the first time the Ghana Union of Traders Associations (GUTA) is calling on its members to reduce prices of goods. This assertion is not only historically inaccurate but appears to be a deliberate attempt to distort the economic record of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia-led government. Contrary to Cudjoe’s claim, there are well-documented instances under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration where GUTA, recognizing the impact of sound government policies, urged its members to reduce the prices of goods. In April 2019, the government introduced a landmark policy reducing the benchmark values of imported goods by 50% and vehicles by 30%. This move was aimed at making imported goods more affordable and enhancing trade competitiveness. In response to this initiative, GUTA publicly acknowledged the government's intervention and issued a...

S/R: Felix Kwakye Ofosu’s Lavish Taste Contradicts His Claims on Government Austerity

Image
Felix with the two expensive phones infront of him. On media platform recently, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, minster of communication at the Presidency has boldly declared that government expenditure has been significantly reduced under their administration. However, a closer look at both the government’s own budget and the personal spending habits of its appointees tells a very different story. In what can only be described as a glaring contradiction, Felix Kwakye Ofosu was recently seen seated before two ultra-premium HUAWEI Mate X2 5G smartphones—each retailing at a staggering $11,809.00 . When converted into Ghanaian cedis at the prevailing exchange rate, that equates to GHC 155,217.89 per phone , and a jaw-dropping GHC 310,435.78 for the pair. This singular display of luxury exposes a troubling gap between rhetoric and reality. While Mr. Kwakye Ofosu champions narratives of fiscal discipline, such extravagance tells Ghanaians a completely different story. For a government that claims to b...
