National Chairman of People's National Convention, Alhaji Ramadan has indicated that the party will deal with the current stand-off between the party's flagbearer, Hassan Ayariga and some leading members of the party including its Policy analyst, Atik Mohammed, as an in-house issue. In his opinion, though the situation is grave for the fortunes of the party with about two weeks to go to the general elections, the leadership of the Party will "certainly sit together to find a solution to this problem then we can go into it as one group." The PNC flagbearer has come under attack from sections of the media and members of his won party for acts considered to be inappropriate and detrimental to the fortunes of the party. PNC Policy Analyst, Atik Mohammed in an earlier interview with Citi News on Thursday indicated that the party "can no longer tolerate Hassan Ayariga�s misconduct, hence the decision to denounce him." Aide to People's National Convention (PNC) flagbearer [Hassan Ayariga], Akani Adam has also alleged that the Policy Analyst of the PNC, Atik Mohammed and other members of the party seeking to eject his boss as flagbearer, are being paid by the NPP to do so. Speaking on Joy FM on Friday, Alhaji Ramadan noted that the current impasse had come to his attention "when i saw it on-air and i heard it. What i intend doing is that i am going to deal with it as an in-house issue. I will find time to call the leadership of the party and we sit together and find an amicable solution to this problem." "We should not be seen to be tearing ourselves up in public. We will certainly find a solution to it before the election." "It is unfortunate that this has happened at this late hour but certainly something must be done about it and we will do something about it from now up to the election," he concluded.
