\n<\/p>\nAbdullai Abu Sadiq, better known as Baba Sadiq, has won the Okaikoi Central constituency election for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). <\/p>\n
The boss of the 3 Awards, per the data released by the Electoral Commission\u2019s (EC) official, pulled 682 votes, beating his closest rival Nadine Issah Salifu, who received 267.<\/p>\n
Judge Hasford Quartey and Fred Nii Tetteh, the other two candidates, received 118 and 94 votes, respectively. <\/p>\n
– –<\/span><\/p>\nBaba Sadiq has contributed significantly to NDC party affairs over the past four years or more, most notably through the creation of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) manifesto for the arts ahead of the 2020 elections. <\/p>\n
Patrick Yaw Boamah, a member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), is the present MP for Okaikoi Central.<\/p>\n
Hopeson Adorye clashes with Baba Sadiq<\/strong><\/h2>\nHopeson 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.<\/p>\n
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 \u20b5120 to heckle the president at the Global Citizen Festival.<\/p>\n
The politician affiliated with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) remarked;<\/p>\n
\u201cBaba 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\u2019t 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,\u201d Adorye said.<\/p>\n
– –<\/span>
\n<\/p>\nHe then threw another allegation into the fray, saying Sadiq recruited a man named Two Cedis to gather some men, to which Two Cedis refused.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe knows Two Cedis who lives at Fadama. He gave him the job to do at first, but he said he wouldn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t continue nor will I insult him and do whatever he wants to do but then I won\u2019t come out to talk about something I don\u2019t have evidence of,\u201d Adorye added.<\/p>\n
He then said in due time, he\u2019s going to substantiate his allegations with enough evidence to nail Sadiq permanently.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf not for something, I will send you a voice. If you are dealing with someone, don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cNumber 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,\u201d the politician said.<\/p>\n
