Former Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Chief Bugri Naabu, has made shocking claims that certain members of his party had plotted to assassinate him and two other regional chairmen, Adam Mahama of the Upper East Region and Alhaji Short of the Upper West Region.

According to Bugri Naabu, the reason for this plot was that the three of them were perceived as obstacles to the ambitions of some individuals within the party.

Reflecting on the tragic death of Adam Mahama, who was fatally attacked with acid, Bugri Naabu suggested that this incident was linked to the threats against his own life.

He questioned, "Where is Adam now, and what happened to him? We all know he was attacked with acid. So, if you try to kill me, it won't succeed; instead, it might be you who loses your life, just like Adam was killed."

Naabu’s remarks were in response to allegations made by Nana Ohene Ntow, a former NPP General Secretary, who had accused him of making death threats. Naabu dismissed these claims, asserting that it was actually Ntow and his associates who had plotted against him.

He remarked, "It's ironic that he accuses me when it was actually they who wanted to eliminate me, Adam Mahama, and Alhaji Short. They believed that unless we were out of the way, they couldn't achieve their goals."

Naabu also shared a harrowing experience in Tamale, where he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt. He explained that he had been warned about people who had come to town specifically to kill him.

"I was informed that there were people in town intending to take my life, so I was advised not to go out. They even came to a hotel and tried to lure me into a meeting under the pretense that some visitors from Accra wanted to see me. But when I asked who these visitors were, they couldn’t provide any details."

The situation escalated when the would-be attackers attempted to force him into the meeting, but locals intervened.

"They tried to force their way in, but residents around me confronted them, asking why they were insisting on meeting so late at night and why they wouldn't leave when I refused to come out," Naabu recounted.

Naabu also criticized Nana Ohene Ntow for resigning from the party when his preferred candidate didn’t win, hinting that this led to the formation of the "Butterfly Movement" or an independent political move.

He described another attempt on his life during a meeting at Circle, where he and Alhaji Short were surrounded by machomen who intended to kill them.

In yet another incident, Naabu shared how he was invited to eat waakye and tuo zaafi, but senior party members warned him that it was a trap to ambush them.

"They invited us to join them for a meal, but we were warned by some senior party members that it was a setup, intended to lure us into an ambush, so we wisely chose not to go."

Naabu concluded by asserting that it was Ntow and his associates who were the real masterminds behind these assassination plots, not him.
