Immediate past National Organizer of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Yaw Boateng Gyan has vowed he will never forgive the former Chief of Staff Prosper Bani for playing a role in his defeat during the party’s national delegate\u2019s congress held last year.<\/p>\n
Yaw Boateng Gyan who was seeking to maintain his position as the National Organiser of the party was unseated by Kofi Adams<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in the National Delegates Congress.<\/p>\n He is however accusing Prosper Bani of contributing to his defeat by failing to release funds meant for party agents during a voters’ registration exercise.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”zFbbEO8NBTuPN4CGwCn0IxVz5FUc4SCM”]Speaking on Accra based Peace FM, Mr. Boateng Gyan said delay in the release of the money caused him his position.<\/p>\n “All those people who contributed to my defeat during the national congress have started receiving their punishment. I can stick my neck out and say that former Chief of Staff, Prosper Bani is one of them. I can say this to his face wherever I meet him. He had control over a lot of things at the time and wielded a lot of power,” Gyan stated.<\/p>\n According to him, one of the things Prosper Bani did that resulted in his downfall is his “refusal to help pay party officials during the registration exercise.”<\/p>\n “At the time we were having difficulties in paying them and officials within the NDC peddled falsehood that I have embezzled the funds meant to pay these agents. I was accused falsely and anywhere I went to campaign it affected me,” he narrated.<\/p>\n He said though he subsequently appealed to Prosper Bani \u00a0to tell party officials that he had not been given any money for party \u00a0purposes Prosper Bani refused to defend him.<\/p>\n “Even on the day of the National Congress I just wanted him to defend me so I will be vindicated but he did not. By the time the delegates realised that all those were false I had lost and it was too late.”<\/p>\n The former NDC executive member lost to Kofi Adams, a former spokesperson of former President Jerry John Rawlings at a Congress last December.<\/p>\n Kofi Adams polled 2,543 votes while the incumbent, Yaw Boateng Gyan managed a paltry 734 votes.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Marian Efe Ansah\/Sammy Wiafe\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana
