A
leading member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has hit
hard at the Northern Regional Chairman of the party, Daniel Bugri Naabu
over his disparaging remarks about the party's National Chairman, Paul
Afoko.
Hon. Emmanuel Kyeremateng Agyarko, Member of Parliament
for Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency opines Bugri Naabu's comment is an
affront to the personality of the National Chair and so, admonished
party members not to condone his misconduct.
He also issued a stern warning to the Northern Regional Chairman to discontinue casting invectives on Paul Afoko.
The
Northern Regional Chairman accused Mr. Afoko and his cohorts of
masterminding the suit filed against the party forcing the National
Council to call off a crucial meeting geared towards the election of a
Presidential candidate.
Mr. David Hoezame, a leading member of
the NPP, on June 17 this year filed a motion for an interim injunction
specifically praying the Accra High Court to restrain the NPP from
conducting the Presidential elections until the final determination of
the suit.
The motion will be heard on July 3, 2014.
But according to Bugri Naabu, who spoke to Okay FM
over the weekend, it was deliberately orchestrated by the National
Chairman who feels the current National Council is not properly
constituted.
“It is a deliberate attempt to disorganize NPP, the
party we have toiled and suffered for. But we are not going to accept
that…..the court case is orchestrated by Paul Afoko to delay the Council
mandate to fix date for the congress. It won’t auger well because
Ghanaians won’t forgive us if we don’t work hard to regain power from
the NDC. Ghanaians will curse NPP and we will suffer for it but we are
not ready for that…..the man who has taken the party to court is not
known to me…all I know is that he supported Paul Afoko during his
campaign to be the party’s National Chair," Bugri Naabu said.
Reacting to the issue on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo”,
Hon. Kyeremateng Agyarko insisted that the NPP’s Northern Regional
Chairman should not in any way forget that the National Chair was
elected by the party's delegates and so, he "cannot speak about him that
way. In the same way nobody in the north will speak about him (Bugri)
in that manner, he should also not voice out his views about a leader in
such fashion."
“Bugri Naabu and the entire executive body must
begin to respect the choice of the party so that in the selection of a
flagbearer, when the party delegates make a choice; all of us will
respect the decision."
"Why do you want to bring our Chairman down?" he queried.
