Pagazaa has nothing to do with my campaign - A. B. A. disowns journalist-attacker

Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu Constituency, Alhaji A. B. A. Fuseini has repudiated any connection of his campaign team with Iddrisu Hardi Pagazaa who was captured on a video assaulting a host of a political talkshow, Abubakari Sadiq on live programme.

The incident which took place yesterday's Wednesday's evening, May 3, 2023 on Tamale based Dagbon radio on a show dubbed - Panpantua has been widely condemned while many are calling on the Sagnarigu MP apologise.

The calls for his apology were necessitated by the fact that the the attacker is reported to be an key player in the campaign team ahead of the May 13 parliamentary primaries in Sagnarigu Constituency.

"It is not true that the attacker, Hardi Pagaza, is a my campaign coordinator as alleged. He is not a member of my campaign team but I know him as a member of the NDC", A.B.A Fuseini, Sagnarigu Member of Parliament told Class FM's midday news today.

Background: 

On March 23 this year, after the incumbent MP, Alhaji A. B. A. Fuseini successfully filed to contest for the party's upcoming parliamentary primaries, Mr. Iddrisu Hardi Pagazaa in his address to the supporters said some of their opponents are resorting to Abudu-Andani politics, and if they don't stop it, they (A. B. A. campaign team) will dirty the campaign with similar method.

The journalist, Abubakari Sadiq ran an editorial on it, describing the comments as unfortunate and not necessary in modern day politics. 

He said it is an indication that Mr. Pagazaa has been exposed as a seasoned communicator by his defeat to represent the NDC as its Northern Regional Communications Officer in the last elections.

And on the evening of May 2, Mr. Pagazaa granted a sister station, Radio Tamale on its talkshow dubbed - Yelvuhi Dundongni, comparing Sadiq to his adolescent daughter.

This, Sadiq commented on his programme last night and described Pagazaa as a liar, leading to the attack by Pagazaa and his thugs.
