In a dramatic turn of events, the Member of Parliament for Yendi Constituency, Hon. Alhaji Farouk Aliu Mahama, reportedly stormed the town of Gbungbalga with security personnel in a “Rambo-Style” operation to reclaim a pickup truck he had previously donated to the NPP Constituency Organizer for party activities.
Eyewitnesses and sources confirm that the unexpected and forceful approach by Hon. Mahama and his team caught the community by surprise. The pickup, initially given for party work, was retrieved under circumstances described by onlookers as intense and highly charged.
The unfolding saga did not end there. Reports reaching the Majority Radio 98.3 news team indicate a similar attempt was made to reclaim another pickup from the Constituency’s 1st Vice Chairman, Alhaji Baba Gambari. However, this attempt was thwarted. Alhaji Gambari, having anticipated such a move, had fortified his position with local security personnel. The presence of these defenders reportedly led to a standoff, forcing Hon. Mahama and his team to retreat and reconsider their approach.
Local sources suggest that these actions are part of a broader dispute within the constituency, hinting at underlying tensions within the party’s ranks. The incidents have sparked widespread discussion and concern among the Yendi NPP supporters and the general public, raising questions about the motivations and implications of such aggressive tactics.
No official statement has been released by Hon. Farouk Aliu Mahama or the Yendi NPP constituency office regarding these incidents. As the situation develops, the community awaits further clarification on the reasons behind these high-stakes retrievals and their potential impact on local political dynamics.
Residents of Yendi and political observers alike are closely monitoring the situation, hopeful for a resolution that will restore peace and unity within the constituency.
