The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the North East Region has accused the Chief Executive Officer of the National Service Secretariat (NSS) Mustapha Ussif, who doubles as the Parliamentary Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of scheming to stir up tribal clashes and disturb the peace in the Mamprugu – Moaduri district ahead of the 2020 elections.

The law maker for the people of Tamale North, Hon. Alhassan Suhuyini once made an assertion that, ‘‘communication is the world today, nothing gets done in today’s world without communication.
