Yendi Political Tension: Jofa And Farouk Aliu Mahama Clash Over Transformer Installation

According to a report by MyNewsGh on Saturday October 10, 2026, a disagreement has reportedly erupted between the Member of Parliament for Yendi, Lawyer Abdul Fatawu Alhassan Jofa, and his predecessor, Dr Farouk Aliu Mahama, over the installation of an electricity transformer at Nayilifong Saasigli in the Yendi Municipality of the Northern Region.

The development has brought the two politicians into a dispute over an electricity infrastructure project in the constituency, drawing attention to their differences concerning the installation of the transformer in the community.

Lawyer Abdul Fatawu Alhassan Jofa, the current MP for Yendi, and Dr Farouk Aliu Mahama, who previously represented the constituency in Parliament, are reportedly at odds over the project.

Although the exact circumstances that led to the disagreement have not been disclosed in the available information, the incident has placed the transformer installation at the centre of a political confrontation involving the two lawmakers.

Electricity infrastructure remains an important issue for communities across Ghana, particularly in areas where reliable power supply is essential for households, businesses and other economic activities.

The installation of transformers can help improve electricity distribution and support communities experiencing power supply challenges, depending on the capacity of the equipment and the existing network.

The disagreement in Nayilifong Saasigli has consequently drawn interest because of the involvement of the current MP and his predecessor, both of whom have held political leadership roles in Yendi.

However, further details are needed to establish what specifically triggered the clash, the positions taken by the two politicians and whether the dispute could affect the installation of the transformer.

Neither the precise nature of the disagreement nor the responses of the two lawmakers have been provided in the brief report published by MyNewsGH.

It would therefore be premature to attribute particular claims or motives to either politician without additional information.

The incident is expected to attract further attention as more details emerge about the transformer project and the disagreement between the two political figures.

For now, the reported clash between Lawyer Abdul Fatawu Alhassan Jofa and Dr Farouk Aliu Mahama over the installation of the transformer in Nayilifong Saasigli has put the spotlight on a local infrastructure issue in the Yendi Municipality.
