The entire Eastern Regional Leadership of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) including the thirty three constituency chairmen, are calling on the rank and file members and supporters of the party, to recognize that the decision by the National Executive Committee (NEC) to suspend Mr. Paul Afoko as National Chairman, is binding on all members.
The Eastern Regional leadership in a statement reminded all party members of their duty to defend the NEC’s decision rather than castigate it.
[contextly_sidebar id=”pZN7Q7UO1eKbJ50uRytklqQgSuAo3Hsp”]The statement further said “the situation where some Party Members are joining the NDC to criticize the Party is a betrayal of the Party and adds to increasing charges of moles in our midst”.
“It is also equally our DUTY as NPP people to respect the fact that Mr. Paul Afoko, even though his suspension has taken effect, has a RIGHT to appeal against the decision to the National Council. But, in doing so we expect the suspended National Chairman to do what all others before him had done, which is to RESPECT the organs, structures and Constitution of the Party and use same to seek redress first before considering a court option”.
“We want to see renewed DISCIPLINE and RESPECT returned to the Party now as we organize ourselves to focus on what we are in politics to do, which is to win power and serve the people”.
“Our cause to remain firm in purpose is also premised on the constitutional provision that every Party Member, per Article 3(D)( iv), is expected to offer total compliance to this provision which imposes a duty on all members to abide by and publicly uphold the decision of the Party”.
“We wish to remind all, that the Party is SUPREME and it is our COLLECTIVE duty to work with the Flagbearer with total LOYALTY and COMMITMENT to the Party and its goal of winning power in 2016”.
…..Signed…..
Prince Aboagye
(Regional Secretary)
