The honorable member (MP) for
bawku central Mahama Ayariga is in the news for having release a statement
regarding the current happenings in the Bawku Municipality.
The MP in his statement accused
the Bawku based radio station Bawku FM of using their platform to fuel the
uprising in the municipalities by annoying and getting one tribe more angry and
emotional in their panel discussions, Hon. Mahama Ayariga went further to call
on relevant authorities to seize the operational license of Bawku FM.
But in a statement sited by
Northern Focus Online written by Dr. Abdul-Razak Wuni (Bawku FM), Mahama
Ayariga was accused of peddling false allegation in order to cover up his failure
to manage and take decisive steps as a member of parliament for the
Constituency since the peace harmony of this Community has been a matter of
worry.
The statement went further to
describe the member of parliament a ‘desperate politician’ who is only
interested in taking decisions that will only benefit his career and has
nothing to do with peaceful co-existence between the two tribes involve in this
uprising.
Also the statement accused Mahama
Ayariga of luck of loyalty to his grandfather because they think for his
political reasons Mr. Mahama decided to downgrade his grandfather to favor his
desperate political career.

“RE: LAW AND ORDER CRISIS IN BAWKU
Our attention has been drawn to a piece written by Mahama
Ayariga. In his write up he accuses Bawku FM as being a medium that is used to
provoke Kusassis, amongst other things.
Ordinarily, we would have ignored this piece as coming from
a desperate politician who has been pushed to the wall by his own people. His
piece was supposedly in response to a voice note on social media that accused
him of incompetence and lack of action towards the cause of Kusassis. We can
understand the nature of his response, denigrating his grandfather in the
process. It is important to note that Ayariga’s rise to fame is through tribal
bigotry. He will therefore do anything at all when his loyalty to the tribal
cause is questioned. Interestingly however, the crust of the accusations
against him, which was that he refused to answer his calls when a group of
Kusassi elders visited parliament to see him was conveniently not addressed.
His contrived allegations against Bawku FM came as no
surprise to us. Bawku Fm is the only station that scrutinizes his stewardship
as MP. The station has consistently shown that compared to his colleague
opposition MPs he has been a disaster so it did no surprise that he is calling
for the license of the station to be revoked. This infantile call is a lame
effort to salvage his sinking political ship.
Moreover, what is surprising is the fact that he is supposed
to be a lawyer and yet he makes these reckless statements without any evidence
whatsoever. He touts his legal credentials in the same piece
and yet goes ahead to makes very reckless statements that a
first year law student will not make.
Additionally, our attention has been drawn to a dying radio
station that is trying to use the Bawku FM brand to gain some traction and
listenership by spewing out nonsense. It’s better to ignore them.
We will like to end our response by noting that, someone who
can denigrate his own dead grandfather who is not alive to defend himself for
political gain, has no shame whatsoever and will stop at nothing to remain
politically relevant. We will not allow any desperate politician to destroy our
brand. If he is convinced Bawku FM has broken the laws of the country he knows
what to do. In the future we will take legal action against anyone that maligns
the brand.
We will not take lessons on how to run a radio station from
someone who can’t keep a home.
Thank you
