Hopeson Adorye clashes with Baba Sadiq
Hopeson Adorye, the 2020 New Patriotic Party candidate for Kpone Katamanso recently hurled some fiery words at former 3Music boss Sadiq Abdulai Abu claiming he disrespected him.
The showdown occurred after Mr Adorye accused Alhassan Suhuyini, a member of parliament for Tamale North, Larry Dogbey, and Baba Sadiq, a member of the NDC Communication Team on Creative Arts for hiring 75 boys from Fadama and paying them each ₵120 to heckle the president at the Global Citizen Festival.
The politician affiliated with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) remarked;
“Baba Sadiq who has made up his mind to show me disrespect and insult me, I pray God lets him reach the age I have gotten to. I won’t talk in a vacuum. He said something, but if it takes me the whole year, I will expose him and let the world know who he is,” Adorye said.

He then threw another allegation into the fray, saying Sadiq recruited a man named Two Cedis to gather some men, to which Two Cedis refused.
“He knows Two Cedis who lives at Fadama. He gave him the job to do at first, but he said he wouldn’t do it. Ask him if he knows, Atuu. I am packing, he can sit there and boast and say all he wants but in the end, the truth will come out.
“I won’t continue nor will I insult him and do whatever he wants to do but then I won’t come out to talk about something I don’t have evidence of,” Adorye added.
He then said in due time, he’s going to substantiate his allegations with enough evidence to nail Sadiq permanently.
“If not for something, I will send you a voice. If you are dealing with someone, don’t put all your cards out. Baba Sadiq, we will make them know who you are. I mentioned your name because you are an industry player and with the program that came up, you stand to benefit more.
“Number one, he should pray he meets the age I am at and number two, however long it takes, the truth on this issue will come out,” the politician said.
