Murtala Must Be Reprimanded; He Should Be Careful Or Else…. – Kweku Baako
Editor-In-Chief of the New Crusading Guide
newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jr has asked
the Member of Parliament for Nantong, Murtala
Mohammed to be mindful of his utterances and
actions as he risks losing his seat.

Murtala, who doubles as the Deputy Minister of
Trade and Industry, was caught in a web of
controversy when he made some shocking allegations
during an interview with Tamale based, Diamond
FM.

In a vituperative outburst, he bemoaned attempts
by an unnamed Member of Parliament (MP) to unseat
him in his constituency.

He alleged that the said MP hired a lady to take
nude pictures of a Cabinet Minister hoping such
information will be used to sabotage the Cabinet
Minister. He further accused the unnamed colleague
MP of greasing the palms of chiefs and opinion
leaders in the Northern Region with “filthy,
ill-gotten money.”

Even though many people have called for the head
of the Deputy Minister, government is yet to
respond.

Kweku Baako during a panel discussion on PEACE
FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' said he will not be
surprised if Murtala becomes ‘a victim of any
reshuffle’ from the presidency.

“What he said must be investigated…he must be
reprimanded. I will not be surprised if he becomes
a victim of any reshuffle. He should be careful or
else he can lose the primaries as a sitting MP.
And so we are waiting to hear what the system will
say officially. In the name of transparency, we
should know government’s stance on it,” he
said.
