A group calling itself Progressive Youth Alliance of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has commended the party\u2019s National Executive Committee (NEC) for suspending the party\u2019s National Chairman Paul Afoko.<\/p>\n

The group, in a statement,described Mr. Afoko’s suspension as “timely and appropriate”.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”4lAzDV2G5oo2TZhXZ40B8XHRVrRkMidl”]”As a Youth from the three northern regions, we see the suspension of\u00a0our national chairman as very much appropriate and timely, because the\u00a0party can’t bear any forms of disruptions again as we enter the year\u00a0of our crucial elections.\u00a0Hence, we wish to commend the NEC and DC for such a bold decision,” the statement noted.<\/p>\n

Afoko was suspended on Friday<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>after the NEC upheld a decision by the Disciplinary Committee.<\/p>\n

The committee took the decision after he failed to appear before it to answer allegations of misconduct levelled against him.<\/p>\n

Below is the full statement<\/strong>
\nAs a Youth from the three northern regions, we see the suspension of\u00a0our national chairman as very much appropriate and timely, because the\u00a0party can’t bear any forms of disruptions again as we enter the year
\nof our crucial elections.\u00a0Hence, we wish to commend the NEC and DC for such a bold decision.<\/p>\n

As patriots and sympathizers of the NPP, we have been faced with a lot\u00a0of heart breaks, one problem from the other and generally unfavorable\u00a0media outbursts. Many have questioned the leadership style, the\u00a0competence and credibility of Mr Afoko to the service of the NPP.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0party had had no or little peace under his leadership and this\u00a0situation is unhealthy for the NPP.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to say that, his tenure as national chairman was\u00a0unfortunate, because, all we witnessed were one problem after the\u00a0other and it hurts badly we lost chairman Adams due to the problems he\u00a0created with his leadership<\/p>\n

In that regard, we see his suspension as timely and appropriate,\u00a0because we can’t always presume he would have a change in mind and\u00a0serve the party as due him.<\/p>\n

Moreover, we are entering into the crucial\u00a0year of general elections and we can’t allow any forms of disruptions
\nfrom Mr Afoko and his cronies again.<\/p>\n

We therefore ask Mr Afoko, his\u00a0 supporters and all party faithfuls to\u00a0know that, the suspension of our chairman is appropriate and it’s\u00a0really in the supreme interest of the NPP.<\/p>\n

We believe an Akuffo Addo’s presidency is what we must all protect and\u00a0rally for, because that is supreme for the party and for the country.<\/p>\n

In that order, let’s collectively support the decision by the NEC and\u00a0the DC., because this bold decision will bring the party a lot of\u00a0peace and progress in the rescue Ghana mission.<\/p>\n

To Mr Afoko, We believe your suspension isn’t an expulsion,\u00a0 we think\u00a0this suspension will give you a further opportunity to prove to all of\u00a0us your love for the party, because it’s something everybody doubts.<\/p>\n

Also, we expect you to accept the fact that, your tenure as national\u00a0chairman was unfortunate and this move is for the supreme interest of\u00a0the NPP.<\/p>\n

We can’t fail to win power to save Ghana from the gross corruption and\u00a0this insensitive government, so we opt to weed out the enemies within\u00a0to ensure that.<\/p>\n

Signed……………<\/p>\n
