A group of New Patriotic Party (NPP) members calling itself the Coalition of Concerned Members of NPP, has petitioned the national headquarters of the governing New Patriotic Party and the presidency among others to settle an existing land dispute between one Mr George Oti Bonsu and Abu Ramadan, a relative of the Second Lady of Ghana, Samira Bawumia ahead of the December elections.

In the 10th July 2024 petition, a copy of which is available to Myjoyonline, the group describes Mr Oti Bonsu as a party financier, reminding the party that at such a crucial time with elections a few months away, “every party member's intellectual, financial, physical, and logistical support is required to retain power.”

In throwing more light on the supposed dispute between the two men, the group said that in the early hours of Sunday, 7th April 2024, a massive demolition exercise was carried out on ten houses located at Adjiringanor near East Legon in Accra ostensibly belonging to Mr George Oti Bonsu, “one of the highly esteemed financiers of the New Patriotic Party's activities.”

According to the group, at a press conference held at the demolition site on 24th April 2024 by some sympathizers of the NPP, Mr George Oti Bonsu alleged that the demolition exercise was carried out by the family of the Second Lady, Samira Bawumia, a claim the Second Lady's office has since debunked.

“He [Mr Oti Bonsu] added that the demolition exercise was done under the explicit instruction of Mr Abu Ramadan, a biological brother of Mrs Samira Bawumia.”
