“Sinare Should Bury His Head in Shame” – NPP’s Rashid Fires Back at Former Ambassador

Rashid Salifu, a communicator for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti Region, has taken aim at Alhaji Said Sinare, a former Ghanaian ambassador, accusing him of compromising his principles in a political game that ultimately left him behind as reported by ModernGhana.

Sinare, who once served as Ambassador to Egypt and Saudi Arabia, recently criticized former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia over his economic commentary.

But Rashid believes the former envoy has lost credibility, claiming he abandoned his integrity and the Zongo communities in a failed attempt to gain favour within the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“Alhaji Sinare should bury his head in shame,” Rashid said in a radio interview, alleging that Sinare’s efforts to discredit Bawumia were aimed at winning political relevance within the NDC — a reward he never received.

According to Rashid, Sinare actively campaigned against Bawumia, inciting division within Muslim communities in the run-up to the 2024 elections.

Yet, when it came time for recognition, he was allegedly ignored.

He described Sinare as a cautionary tale for political loyalists who sacrifice long-standing values for uncertain rewards. “You are not a hero. You’re a political warning sign,” Rashid stated.

The NPP communicator’s remarks shows growing tensions between the parties ahead of the next electoral cycle.

While Sinare remains silent on the backlash, Rashid’s comments shows internal divisions and frustrations within Ghana’s political system.

In his final jab, Rashid advised political actors: “It is better to stand with honour in defeat than to stoop for a victory that forgets you.”
