A press release signed by Mr Musah A.

According to the statement, it is obvious and crystal clear that Chairman Kalamonia is by far a distinguished and substantial regional chairman which the infant region Savannah region has ever produced.
The statement added that, Alhaji Iddrisu Kalamonia is regarded and respected for his
top-notch achievements which are simply unmatched and
the Savannah regional chairman has
worked with over nineteen tribes to set his current standards within the region.
Part of the release said; “a few achievements of the Regional Chairman you can talk about is his
toil and incessant efforts in grabbing a whooping fresh new three seats for the NPP party when they only had one in the Savannah Region, as well as flooding NPP youths in Savannah Region with numerous Jobs through his tireless efforts and lobbying skills.”
The release further stated that; “His phenomenal influences brought to the Savannah region several infrastructural development and

“It will interest the public to know that this quack, forged and concocted allegation in this release is deliberately authored and sanctioned by faceless, cowards and conflict contractors who’s sole objective is to continually chart a divisive path for political gains. such leaders and their evil acts will be exposed in no time. Therefore,
Chairman Kalamonia by far can’t be qualified for the title of a tribalist, not today, tomorrow or even in the future.”
According to the statement, Professor Kalamonia was seen around Daboya west electoral area and invariably, the NPP inclined candidate, Mr. Issah Takora Razak won the elections.

The Patriotic Youth said Tampulamas and Gonjas have co-existed for years in that part of the region adding; “we therefore condemn unconditionally any attempt to mud this relationship.”

How could they possibly be so audacious to cast such an insult on our record setting, unifying, development oriented chairman of all times.”
