Founding member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe has accused former President Akufo-Addo of influencing the leadership of the party despite not being a President anymore.
In an interview on TV3’s Hot issues, Sunday, May 4, the revered statesman said the leadership style of the former President contributed to the current woes of the party and its defeat in the 2024 elections.
He believes the NPP as it is currently has been “destroyed” by some elements in the party who are after their parochial interest.
Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe called on the leadership of the party to seek counsel from senior members in the party to restore the party’s reputation.
“I’m always praying that, we still have senior people around, they should find a way to get the party back to the state that it was. At the moment, the party has been destroyed. Look at the results of the last elections.
“It’s not a question of factionalism, it’s a question of leadership. I personally have really been shocked by the leadership of Akufo-Addo. He came in and he never listened to anybody.
“We have people like Kwame Pianim, if we come to the economy, you have nothing to worry about. But you brought in your own cousin and it became a family affair,” he expressed.
When asked how he still blames Akufo-Addo for the party’s woes despite not being at the forefront, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe said “he is still pulling strings behind. we know that party very well.”
