The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken action by suspending its Northern Regional Vice-Chairman, Alhaji Gbewaa, following a heated dispute with Hajia Shamima Yakubu over party finances at the regional secretariat in Accra.
Mustapha Gbande, Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, clarified that the official "has been placed on a three-month suspension."
Speaking to Joy News, he said the case is pending investigations and all other processes that will enable the party to look into the issues properly for a final redress.
