Eric Nartey Yeboah, the Greater Accra Regional Second Vice Chairman and former Madina Constituency Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has fired back at Ernest Owusu-Bempah, the Deputy Communications Officer of the party, for his recent remarks that appear to undermine the party’s rebuilding efforts.
Chairman Dollar, as he is often called, made it clear that Owusu-Bempah is not a card-carrying member of the NPP and expressed his anger over Owusu-Bempah’s comments, stating that they had upset the grassroots supporters of the party.
“If things had been done properly, in line with the party’s principles, individuals like Ernest Owusu Bempah would not have been appointed as Deputy Director of Communications,” Mr. Nartey Yeboah said
Yeboah also highlighted that the concentration of power in the hands of former President Akufo-Addo and his family members during his administration played a major role in the NPP’s electoral defeat.
Yeboah went further to criticize how some of the President’s appointments, alongside the perceived arrogance of certain appointees, contributed to the party’s loss in the election.
He mentioned that many people who were given important positions under the former President’s leadership showed a lack of respect for the party’s core values and principles, which ultimately led to the downfall of the NPP.
This internal NPP dispute has sparked conversations about leadership and unity within the party as the focus now shifts to restoring trust and respect among its members.
He called on party supporters to distance themselves from appointees who are found culpable by the National Democratic Congress’ administration.
He told Kwaku Owusu Adjei on Adwenekasa on Accra-based Original TV.
