Alhaji Alhassan Gbangu, known as "The Lion," has clarified that his wife, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Shamima Muslim, has no intention of contesting the NDC parliamentary primary in the Wa Central constituency. During an interview on Home Radio, Gbangu used the Waale dialect to make it clear his wife's lack of interest in the parliamentary seat, stating, "Shamima, my wife, is not coming for the primary.
She will not come today or tomorrow." Gbangu further emphasized that even if the current MP, Dr Rashid Hassan Pelpuo, decides not to seek re-election, his wife would not consider contesting the primary. He expressed his preference for three potential successors to Dr Pelpuo, including lawyer Abubakar Mutiu-Rahman, Economic Adviser to the Vice President Prof Sherif Khalid, and Principal State Attorney Saeed Abdul Shakur.
Gbangu also praised the NDC Upper West Regional Executives, led by Abdul Nasir Saani, for their role in securing all 11 parliamentary seats for the party in the region, urging delegates to vote for leaders focused on party strength rather than local interests.
