The New Patriotic Party (NPP) says that it has received with sadness, news of the passing of Alhaji Mohammed Nuru Deen Jawula, which occurred on Saturday, January 21, 2023.
The Late Alhaji Jawula was a long-standing member of the NPP and was shortlisted for the position of Running Mate ahead of the 2008 General Elections, at which time, he expressed his readiness to relinquish his traditional authority to serve the NPP and the Republic.
Alhaji Jawula, as he was affectionately called, also served as Chairman of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) from 1997 to 2001, and was the Chairman of the Ghana League Organising Committee until his death. He also founded Guan United, a Division One club in Ghana, and held several positions at Real Tamale United.
The Late traditional ruler of the Kpembe traditional area in the Savanna Region was also a distinguished Statesman having served in the Civil and Public Service for over thirty years.
He rose through the ranks and headed various directorates at the Ministries of Health, and Finance, as well as Harbors and Railways.
The passing of Alhaji Jawula is a great loss to this country and the NPP in particular. The Party, hereby, extends its heartfelt condolences to his immediate family and the good people of the Kpembe Traditional Area, the football community, and to the rest of the nation.
May Almighty Allah bless the gentle soul of our departed father and mentor, and may the family he left behind, find strength in this challenging period.,” said a release signed by Justin Kodua Frimpong, General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party.
