Alhaji Inusah is a political spy-UW/R Chairman

Alhaji Abudulai Issahaque, Upper West Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described Alhaji Issaka Inusah as a political spy who cannot be trusted.

He said to re-admit him now into the NPP would not be in the interest of the party.

Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency at Wa on Friday, Alhaji Issahaque said: "We actually need to probe, scrutinise and find out how genuine he is before we can consider accepting him into our fold"

Een though Alhaji Inusah is behaving like the Biblical prodigal son, he cannot be trusted and his coming back would be detrimental to the growth of the party, he said.

Alhaji Issahaque said even if the national executive would accept him back for any reason, he should be put on probation for over three years to ascertain the real motive of his decision. He said Alhaji Inusah's desire to come back to the NPP was because NDC lost the general election and not because he is committed to the NPP.

The Regional Chairman asked Alhaji Inusah to retract the defamatory and derogatory statements he made against the NPP on defecting to the NDC and apologise to the NPP and people of Ghana.
