The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has issued a formal apology to a Political Science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Professor Ransford Gyampo.

This apology comes in response to allegations made by Mr. Mustapha, accusing Prof. Gyampo of collaborating with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to disenfranchise students.

These accusations were made on October 28, amidst the University Teachers Association of Ghana’s (UTAG) strike against illegal mining, or galamsey.

Mr. Mustapha alleged that Prof. Gyampo, who serves as the President of UG-UTAG, was using the strike as a cover for an appointment he hopes to receive in a future NDC administration.

In his statement, Mr. Mustapha emphasized that his apology and retraction align with the requests of Prof. Gyampo's legal representatives.

He acknowledged that he lacks evidence to substantiate his earlier claims, prompting the need to comply with the demand to avoid potential legal repercussions.
