protest against<\/a><\/strong><\/span> the suspension of former National Chairman, Paul Afoko.<\/p>\n[contextly_sidebar id=”lgnBYqj6MG0X2zpQFp3RvsaYk7Dg8Cpy”]About two hundred members of the NPP converged at the headquarters of the party to protest the decision to suspend Mr. Afoko.<\/p>\n
They felt the party breached its laws in suspending Paul Afoko and demanded his reinstatement.<\/p>\n
They also declared their support for the party\u2019s General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong asking that he be allowed to discharge his duties without interference.<\/p>\n
But in a letter written to accept his suspension, the Fomena Constituency Chairman explained that he did not play any role in the picketing at the party\u2019s headquarters.<\/p>\n
Unlike Paul Afoko who is fighting his suspension, Mr. Asamoh says he accepts the disciplinary action in good faith.<\/p>\n
He is however appealing to the party leadership to give him a fair hearing to clear his name so that he can be reinstated.<\/p>\n
Below is the letter<\/strong><\/p>\nI write to formally accept the suspension meted out to me by the Ashanti Regional Executive Council of our party.<\/p>\n
I believe personally that, any form of behavior or conduct that seems misfit within our party is tantamount to a sanction and I humbly wish not to oppose the said suspension by the party to me as a constituency chairman for Fomena in this Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n
Nobody within NPP would doubt my loyalty and passion to the service of the party. I’ve been a strong advocate of unity within our party and also the need to further protect the dignity, the tradition and the values of the party and its unfortunate I’ve got myself into this unthinkable situation.<\/p>\n
But, we are humans and in one form or the other our actions and inaction can be seen as unacceptable. In those situations, you don’t run away from the repercussion, but, you face every one of them as it comes.<\/p>\n
Nobody within the NPP is bigger than the party or its constitution and as such if the party sees my conduct as misfit and hence, merits a suspension, then who am I to oppose it?<\/p>\n
I again, wish to put it on record that, I never joined the said Pro-Afoko demonstration and I pray the Disciplinary Committee would admit that and possibly reinstate me as chairman of my constituency.<\/p>\n
Though, I admit some of my conducts were contrary, I\u2019ve never dreamt of harming the party or Nana Addo’s victory in 2016.<\/p>\n
But, I want to ask the Ashanti Regional Executive council to hurriedly arrange me before the Disciplinary committee to further hear me out. I hope and pray I will be reinstated as chairman, because my love for the party surpasses every individual or group.<\/p>\n
All I care about is contributing my quota to the victory of our party in 2016, because, that’s the only option for me as a loyal party member.<\/p>\n
Moreover, Ghana will have to work again and I firmly believe an Akuffo Addo led administration has the capacity to ensure that. I care about Ghana and all I always want to do is help Nana Addo and the NPP to rescue Ghana from the state of hopelessness the NDC has engraved us.<\/p>\n
Finally, I want to urge all my colleagues who have equally been suspended by the NEC or the REC to accept that in good faith, because, I believe, that is imperative of us. Aside that, we should also use the appropriate structures within the party to fight for our places or positions back.<\/p>\n
I trust that, when we do this, it would be healthy for us and much healthier for the party’s victory in 2016.<\/p>\n
Signed………….
