Confusion in Biakoye NPP
Biakoye constituency New Patriotic Party (NPP)
executives have denied claims that they are
pressurising President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
to re-nominate Mrs. Millicent Kabuki Caboo,
popularly called Kiki, who was earlier rejected by
the assembly members as the District Chief
Executive for the area.

Speaking to Today after a press conference to
clear the erroneous impression being created by
some people that they are clamouring for Millicent
Kabuki Caboo as the DCE, the NPP constituency
Chairman, Imoro Suleiman, said the noise being
made for the re-nomination of Millicent Kabuki
Caboo was from a known ‘repentant drunkard’ in
the area.

Mr. Suleiman however, stated emphatically that
none of his executives has spoken to any media
house and called on the president to re-nominate
Kabuki Caboo. “Look what was published on
myjoyonline.com and other networks was false. That
noise came from Yaw Mantey, a drunkard, who cannot
make news.

After the election which saw the rejection of
Millicent Kabuki, this guy has been hurling
insults on assemblymen, government appointees and
saying that the president will re-nominate her,
and that if the president fails to do so, they
will vote the party out,” he said.

He also pointed out that some reporters who were
at the election decided to pick Yaw Mantey’s
voice when they saw him making noise. According to
Mr. Suleiman, Kabuki Caboo has outlived her
relevance in the constituency and even in her own
area, Worawora, and that was the cause of her
rejection.

He explained that although they have vetted and
presented 16 candidates for nomination as DCE, the
president in his own wisdom rejected all of them
but chose to bring Kabuki Caboo who never went
through vetting.“…but for the respect we have
for the president, we decided to accept that
decision and help her in her endeavour.

But her conduct soon after nomination virtually
put everybody off,” he said. Chairman Imoro
indicated that Millicent Kabuki Caboo failed to
build respect and friendship between her and the
constituency even at the time she was the
Women’s Organiser for the party in the area.
“At the time she was coming to contest the
election for the women organiser position, he was
not known.

But our organiser vouched for her and we accepted
her and voted for her. At the time she got almost
500 votes to win that position, but when she begun
working as the women’s organiser, she completely
push us out. She had no regard for other
executives.” That situation, the chairman said,
became a worry to all until she announced her
decision to go for the DCE post, hence her
resignation from the earlier position.

He also revealed that Kabuki Caboo later contested
three others for the DCE position, but was voted
out after she polled 25 votes out of 666 votes
cast at the time. “…even her own town,
Worawora, where she hails from, the delegates who
voted from that town were 64 but she got only 27
which should tell you that even she is not
welcomed in her own town.”
