Presidential Candidate for the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo Addo has expressed ‘regret’ over the suspension of the party’s National Chairman, Paul Afoko.
According to him, I profoundly regret that matters have come to this…however, the appropriate organs of the Party have acted”.
The National Chairman was suspended on Friday, 23rd October, 2015 by the National Executive Committee of the party.
Speaking to the issue for the first time in a statement, Nana Addo said: “such a development has been rather rare in the history of our party. I had hoped that internal discussions and a spirit of cooperation would have enabled the Party to avoid such an eventuality. However, the appropriate organs of the Party have acted”.
He therefore called “on all loyal members of the Party to respect the decision of NEC and the Constitution of the Party, which provides channels for redressing grievances. We need to conduct ourselves in a disciplined manner that will protect and promote the integrity and unity of the Party”.
“The NPP requires a united and committed front for the task ahead. We need to stay focused and organise ourselves to prosecute a successful campaign in 2016 to relieve the Ghanaian people from their sufferings and hardships. Ghanaians are looking up to us” he added.
