He was also accused of favoritism as he\u2019s alleged to be funding his\u00a0cohorts while staff of the assembly are neglected.<\/p>\n<p>But a resolution sighted by this website from the 31 aggrieved members forwarded to the Assembly stated that it has soften its stance on matters now based on \u201cthe level of remorse the Hon Chief Executive has shown\u201d which largely \u201cindicates his readiness and willingness to change his usual ways of contravening the Standing Orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Below is the letter withdrawing the impeachment process<br \/>Hon PM,<br \/><strong>NOTIFICATION OF WITHDRAWAL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please be informed that we hereby withdraw the resolution dated the 25th September, 2017 requesting you to call for a special meeting to initiate an impeachment process of Hon Iddrisu Musah \u2013 the Metropolitan Chief Executive of the Tamale Metro Assembly.<br \/>Several reasons accounted for this decision. Among which include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong>\u00a0Timely intervention by our revered Chiefs including but not limited to the Vittin lana, the Banvim lana, and Lamshenaa. Others are Naa Yeba- Gukpena and Naa bapira- Kugnaa<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong>The Islamic clergy also prevailed on us to rescend our decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong>The Hon PM in his small way contributed to this current position.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong>\u00a0Most of all the level of remorse the Hon Chief Executive has shown indicates his readiness and willingness to change his usual ways of contravening the Standing Orders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn conclusion, we want to reaffirm our commitment to work to with the Hon. Iddrisu Musah to uplift the status quo of the city of Tamale. Blending the expertise of Hon.
