Opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Regional Chairmen for the Northern and Upper East Regions have called for the immediate termination of the recent appointments made by the party\u2019s General Secretary, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong.<\/p>\n
They also want Perry Okudjeto reinstated as the party\u2019s Acting Communications Director.<\/p>\n
The NPP General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong subsequent to his appointment of Deputy national communication Directors directed the party\u2019s Acting Communications Director, Perry Okudjeto to proceed on compulsory leave.<\/p>\n
Kwabena Agyepong\u2019s action has incurred the wrath of outspoken Daniel Bugri Naabu and Adams Mahama who took a swipe at him (Kwabena).<\/p>\n
At a joint news conference in Tamale, the two NPP regional Chairmen claimed the NPP General Secretary\u2019s conduct was a clear violation of the party\u2019s constitution in relation to the appointment of officers at the national secretariat.<\/p>\n
They implied Kwabena Agyepong was managing the party like his private business for which reason he should be called to order.<\/p>\n
\n
Daniel Bugri Naabu in particular insinuated that Kwabena Agyepong was damaging the NPP\u2019s chances of victory in the 2016 polls.<\/p>\n
He cautioned the NPP chief scribe against any machinations which are likely to keep the party in opposition beyond 2016.<\/p>\n
Bugri Naabu fumed, \u201cWe are not going to allow Kwabena Agyepong to destroy our party: he knows what he is doing and he is trying to create confusion in the party and we will not sit down and allow the party to collapse at this time of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Northern Regional NPP Chairman alleged, \u201cI believe that he is being financed by NDC, therefore if he wants to go to NDC alone he should go ahead: we don\u2019t want that, we are not ready to support someone who will go and take money from the NDC and come to destroy our party.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel Bugri Naabu advised Kwabena Agyepong to emulate the exemplary leadership of his predecessors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Buttressing Daniel Bugri Naabu\u2019s standpoint, the NPP Upper East Regional, Adam Mahama advised Kwabena Agyepong to consider his decision by nullifying his earlier appointments.<\/p>\n
\n
He remarked, \u201cWhen I heard about this appointment, I was so disappointed about our General Secretary and this is unacceptable: we don\u2019t even have communication directors, why the rush to appoint deputy communication directors?\u201d<\/p>\n
He admonished the NPP national leadership to bring Kwabena Agyepong back on track and\u00a0 in line with the party\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to use this opportunity to call the national executives especially Kwabena Agyepong to order, what he is doing is unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adams Mahama said no amount of intimidation will coerce the party\u2019s 10 regional Chairmen to change their mind of choosing the right candidate to lead the party in 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know they are just doing this to destroy the upcoming election and I want to tell all NPP members and Ghanaians that all the 10 regional Chairmen are solid and united\u201d<\/p>\n
He challenged Kwabena Agyepong to shift his attention to uniting the party rather than creating confusion. \u201cAll what we need to do in this party is unity.\u201d<\/p>\n
