Our Love For Nana Addo Is Intact- Asawase Constituency Leaders Assure Flagbearer
An aide to the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Davis Opoku Ansah has been accused of busing people to the party’s headquarters to protest against the suspension of Paul Afoko.
Some of the bused demonstrators were recruited from the Asawase constituency and this has forced the leadership of the party in the area to come out and disassociate themselves from the unfortunate incident.
In a statement copied to Peacefmonline.com, the leaders kicked against the demonstration which was staged to force the National Executive Committee (NEC) to overturn Mr. Afoko’s indefinite suspension.
Statement Below:
DISASSOCIATION OF A PRESS CONFERENCE AND A DEMONSTRATION BY SOME SECTION OF ASAWASE NPP MEMBERS ON THE SUSPENSION OF FORMER CHAIRMAN PAUL AFOKO
Good afternoon members of the press and thanks for honoring our invitation despite its short notice but the situation at hand calls for timely disassociation hence your emergency call.
We want to start by making our position clear that our allegiance as party members of this constituency to our dear NPP party and our flag bearer Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo is intact and very solid.
We find it the most disgusting, the way and manner Asawase constituency name was being mentioned in that protest and press conference to say that if for any reason some persons within the constituency have gone to Accra demonstrate, we the party supporters, council of elders, patrons, electoral areas coordinators and polling station executives are solidly behind our flag bearer Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo as well as the decision by the national executive committee and the national council.
NPP as a party has its constitution in which all channels of grievances are prescribed; it is therefore amazing to come to the realization that Asawase constituency has been mentioned in the protest.
The constituency is focused and moving steadily with its programmes and policies in making sure that our operation of winning the constituency and working tirelessly to see our next President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo becomes a reality.
Our focused now is on our door to door campaign under the leadership of our Parliamentary Candidate HON. ALHAJI ALIDU SEIDU in the constituency and with our coverage of five out of ten electoral areas we are sure of winning the seat therefore want all peace loving and well-wishers of our party to be in the notice.
We therefore issue this our statement with a strong disclaimer to the press conference and the protest.
We give our blessing and endorsement to the decision taken by NEC and the party is bigger than any individual in the party.
Long live NPP, long live Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo.
Signed:
