The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Director of Communications, Nana Akomea is asking the party’s second Vice Chairman Sammy Crabbe to petition the National Council if he has any opposition to the suspension of Paul Afoko as National Chairman.
Sammy Crabbe has openly opposed the suspension of Paul Afoko saying it’s unconstitutional and unreasonable.

But Director of Communications, Nana Akomea in a Citi News interview said Mr. Crabbe should use party structures to address his concerns.
“If a national office like Mr. Crabbe disagrees…he is entitled to his views but he knows what to do is to channel his disagreement and seek a resolution. Once the decision is taken you have to respect it especially when you are a national officer. So to be running around that he doesn’t respect it, he is breaching the party’s rules,” he said.
Nana Akomea insisted that “it doesn’t lie in his [Sammy Crabbe] mouth to decide what is constitutional and what is unconstitutional. This is his view, he is entitled to his view, but he can seek redress. The party provides for disagreement, different viewpoints. All of us cannot have the same view, that’s why all of us have different heads.”
The NPP suspended it’s National Chairman for misconduct; a decision he has fiercely disagreed.
He later petitioned the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) but the body upheld the decision to suspend Paul Afoko.
