The MP, who also doubles as the ranking member of Public Accounts committee Hon. Abubakari Ibrahim Dey is believed to have shared at least ten caskets to some selected Moslem communities, Kasapafmonline.com reports.
A member of the NPP campaign team and aide to the party’s parliamentary nominee, Mr. Abubakari Dramani said the NPP believes the move taken by the current MP has spiritual implications and hence will organise a Quran recitation to counter the move.

“Spiritually we are also seeing how we are going to counter that but we believe that If you want to help a mosque there are so many deteriorated mosques in town which needs speakers, some cannot pay their bills and you come and supply this kind of items to the mosques; it doesn’t actually speak well”
“We don’t understand such a move because while the people are hungry, you have done virtually nothing in that constituency and just barely a month of election and you come and be supplying coffins for the mosques”, he said.
But the NDC constituency secretary Thomas Langa has denied the claims by the NPP, saying the MP provided the coffins upon request.
”It is true that one of the suburb of Salaga during a campaign trail, the MP has no knowledge of this one…and the people pleaded that as Muslims they need to have a coffin at the mosque because they would have to normally travel to distance to go and borrow it from another source and so those of us moving as a campaign trail decided to contribute and to build a small one for them; they requested for it,” he explained.
