The National Council of the NPP met over the issue Wednesday and “expressed strong disapproval and regret against the actions and utterances” of the two leading party members.

“Even though the two apologized profusely, the meeting severely reprimanded them and bonded them to be of good behaviour. They were also asked to put their apologies into written statements,” a statement issued by the acting General Secretary of the party John Boadu after the meeting announced.

The two clashed on Friday after Naabu scuttled a meeting being held by Otiko in the Northern region of Ghana. Since then their alternations have led to name calling and wild allegations against each other.

They have both apologised over the public outburst with Naabu confessing his allegations against Otiko about her alleged involvement in the murder of Adams Mahama – the late Upper East regional chairman of the NPP – are baseless.
