The Director of Communications for the Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP), has publicly accused the party\u2019s presidential hopeful and immediate\u00a0past Chairperson, Samia Nkrumah, of scheming and creating disorder and confusion in the party.<\/p>\n
Kadril Abdul Rauf claims that, since losing the race for the party\u2019s flagbearer position to Ivor Greenstreet, the former Member of Parliament for Jomoro, has been inciting\u00a0the party\u2019s youth to cause confusion in the party.<\/p>\n
Abdul Rauf was reacting to demands<\/strong><\/a><\/span> by some party youth on Monday, that their leaders, Ernesto Yeboah, and General Secretary Nii Armah Akronfah be reinstated immediately.<\/p>\n The two\u00a0were suspended<\/strong><\/a><\/span> for contradicting Ivor Greenstreet’s comment on President Mahama’s $100,000 Ford expedition\u00a0‘gift’.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”X8lPZxkhxqdFd1IweOgjLSLcFd8AfP6Z”]The CPP announced the suspension of the two men last week.<\/p>\n Abdul Rauf told\u00a0Citi News<\/strong> that Samia Nkrumah is\u00a0behind the agitations over the suspensions.<\/p>\n \u201cSamia is actually an idol in that circle. Ernesto, the youth organizer does not live in his own house, he lives in the house of Samia Nkrumah and all of them, that is where they gather and hold their meetings. I\u2019m proving to you that she is part of that platform and every discussion that is happening, it is happening under her eyes and she is aware of it.\u201d<\/p>\n Abdul Rauf said his allegations were based on Samia’s reaction after she was defeated, \u00a0adding that \u201cshe made that baseless accusation that Ivor Greenstreet has been sponsored by the NDC.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNow this argument that they are making has not departed from that assertion she made some months ago. That is what they are seeking to fuel. I also know Samia and I know that if she didn\u2019t approve it, she will be the first person to speak in the media or dissociate herself from it. But the fact that she is quiet, it will be difficult for her to be exonerated from this,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, all efforts to get Samia Nkrumah to respond to the claims proved futile.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin A.
