New Patriotic Party (NPP) 1st Vice Chairmanship aspirant Alhaji Osman Masawudu, popularly known as Chairman Buga Buga, has issued a strong warning to social commentator Ralph DeFollow over the use of his images and videos on social media.
Speaking in an interview on Neat FM, Chairman Buga Buga alleged that Ralph had been posting videos that appeared to promote his campaign but were actually intended to mock him.
He said videos of the social commentator had been brought to his attention and warned Ralph against using his content without permission.
“The NDC guy with the Rasta, Ralph, they sent me his video. He was pretending as though he was campaigning for me, but he was actually trying to mock me. He should be very careful,” he said.
Chairman Buga Buga insisted that Ralph was not campaigning for him and urged him to stop using his pictures and videos.
“He is not an NPP person. I am warning him to stay away from my videos and stop that kind of ridiculous propaganda. He is not campaigning for me and he should not campaign for me,” he added.
The NPP aspirant also suggested that Ralph is aligned with the National Democratic Congress (NDC), arguing that an opposition figure publicly appearing to support an NPP candidate could have a hidden political motive.
According to him, such support could be intended to create the perception among NPP delegates that a particular candidate is backed by the opposing party, potentially influencing their voting decisions.
“If you see someone affiliated with the NDC campaigning for someone in the NPP, it means they are scared of that person and are praying for the person to lose. Indirectly, they want the person to be voted against,” he stated.
He said this was why he did not want Ralph to associate himself with his campaign.
Chairman Buga Buga also questioned the extent to which Ralph could influence NPP delegates, given his claim that the commentator is not a member of the party.
“That Ralph guy is not an NPP member, so who can he convince to go and vote for me? If he knew how the NPP youth have ‘mean’ him, he wouldn’t be there saying such nonsense,” he added.
His comments come as aspirants intensify their campaigns ahead of the NPP’s internal elections, with social media increasingly becoming an important platform for political messaging and mobilisation.
