NDC leaders in Nanton call for DCE’s dismissal

Some executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Nanton District of the Northern Region are calling on President John Mahama to dismiss the District Chief Executive (DCE), Abdul Rahaman Rosina, accusing her of incompetence and actions they say are damaging the party’s credibility.

Addressing a press conference in Nanton on Monday, December 1, 2025, the constituency executives warned that the DCE’s continued stay in office threatens the party’s electoral prospects. Spokesperson Mohammed Sharif alleged that the DCE had diverted agricultural inputs meant for vulnerable farmers under a government support programme.

“The government intervention, such as the Savannah Agriculture Value Chain Development Project, is meant to support farmers and reduce poverty. However, we have credible reports that about 600 bags of subsidised fertiliser allocated to the district were diverted and sold to private retailers under the direction of the DCE,” he alleged.

Sharif said the alleged diversion had seriously undermined the trust of farmers, describing them as a key constituency in the party’s support base.

“This act is a betrayal of the trust of our farmers. It is a departure from the NDC’s principles of accountability and an act of corruption that has angered the very people who stood with the party in difficult times,” he added.

The executives have appealed to President Mahama to urgently appoint a new DCE whom they believe can restore confidence and strengthen the party’s agenda in the district.
