A senior member of the Convention People�s Party (CPP), Professor Agyeman Badu Akosa, has vehemently rubbished allegations that persons close to the party�s chairperson, Samia Nkrumah are those pushing her to be vitriolic against presidential hopeful, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom.
Prof. Akosa told Citi News that comments by Sekou Nkrumah that his sister�s political immaturity is being exploited by anti-Nduom elements for selfish political purposes are nonsensical.
In his remarks, the professor said, �we have elected a national chair and people think she is a softie and she can be pushed around? When I heard what Sekou said, the only comment that I want to say is that if he is a politician, he should address what he can do himself. �
�Every time he opens his mouth, it is an attack on his sister. His politics is not his sister and he should leave her alone,� Prof. Akosa added.
He said although Samia had come under harsh criticisms and insults, she possessed the strength and willpower to rise above it.
�How she spoke at the conference, shows that Samia is made of sterner stuff and as far as I am concerned, we have got a chairperson of that we should all respect,� he declared.
Prof. Akosa added that the CPP will not allow selfish interest and parochial minds to rule within the party.
