I focus my energies on working on the ground, engaging the electorate and selling my message and vision to them”.

Efforts to trace the said writer has proved futile.

Read the full statement below:
Dear Editor, Dear Editor, I write to react to an article you culled from daily mail.com captioned: Re:Death in the frying pan the case of Joyce Bawah in Salaga.
I had seen an earlier article written by one Alidu Seidu under the same caption and published on northernwebghana.com. I wondered who Alidu Seidu was and what his motivation could be for posting that publication since he claimed to be a member of the NDC in the Salaga South Constituency.
I made some phone calls to ascertain who this Alidu Seidu could be. Unsurprisingly, nobody seems to know him. All those who know me and have followed my politics closely know that I do not indulge in this type of politics of anonymous article writing. I focus my energies on working on the ground, engaging the electorate and selling my message and vision to them.
Given that your outlet merely culled it from Dailymail.com; unless it’s a Daily mail desk report, I have decided that I will not react to publications by faceless people. One publication is written by “Alidu Seidu” whom no one seems to know and another by an unknown author. It leaves much to be desired.
