Angry members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) youth group called Young Patriotic Forum in the Northern Region have heavily descended on the party’s chief scribe, Kwabena Agyepong describing him as a “dictator.”
[contextly_sidebar id=”0DxS5dBFii03nlu4CJpiTjimXMmslcRt”]They have kicked against his decision to withdraw a former NPP national Chairman, Peter Mac Manu as the party’s representative on the Electoral Commission’s Electoral Reform Committee.
In a statement copied Citi News, the group’s Chairman and a former NPP Northern Regional Deputy youth Organizer, Abubakari Iddrisu Aloma described Kwabena Agyepong’s action as needless.
He therefore called for the reinstatement of the Peter Mac Manu who the group is convinced has the pedigree to represent the party at that level.
“It is an established fact that Peter Mac Manu has vast knowledge and experience in the field of electoral reforms: Indeed, he consults internationally for other countries and he is well appraised for his input.”
He fumed, “It is therefore very difficult to understand why he has been kicked out despite his grasp of the topic, the issue of electoral reforms is very crucial to the next elections and we cannot afford to play around it: this decision by the GS is unpopular and cynical.”
Iddrisu Aloma advised Kwabena Agyepong to stop creating what he referred to as “Needless confusion” in the party and rather concentrate on mapping out calculated strategies to wrestle power from the governing National Democratic Congress in 2016.
He further cautioned Kwabena Agyepong against any attempt to bite more than he can chew as the General Secretary.
“We believe that the GS has too much to grapple with and to add to this tedious job which needs meticulous attention: the day to day administration of the party General Secretary is already demanding and particularly challenging and we think that the GS should concentrate his time and allow others to help where they are needed.”
The Young Patriotic Forum has by extension petitioned the NPP National Council and emphasized the need to reinstate Peter Mac Manu to do the job he knows best.
“He is the best man and save pair of hands we have in his vexed matter: as future leaders of this great party we are concerned and hope that our plea will be heard.”
