The National Organiser of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Yaw Asani Tano, has told the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to sack former President Akufo-Addo, along with their current leadership.
According to Yaw Asani Tano, the NPP must advise Paul Afoko to return and take charge of the party’s chairmanship.
He highlighted that the NPP never listened to former president John Kufuor when he advised the leader to elect someone who would unite the party after him.
Yaw Asani Tano claimed the NPP used stubbornness to elect former president Akufo-Addo, which has led the party to where it is today.
Speaking on UTV, Yaw Asani Tano stated, “Former President Kufuor, in my opinion, a few years ago was too quiet. I have always urged him to speak, that where Akufo-Addo was leading the NPP was not right, but he never spoke”.
“But it is better late than never; he has spoken, but as to whether the party will listen to him, that is the issue. He said something some time ago that when they were going to look for a leader after him, they should look for someone who could unite the party”.
He added, “When he said this, the NPP understood, but the NPP leaders placed sticks in their ears, refusing to listen. The NPP used stubbornness to elect Nana Addo, and he has now divided the party, leading the party to where they are today. This is the truth.
I am praying that Afoko, the NPP, should advise him to come back to take over as the Chairman of the party and Aufo-Addo and his people must be sacked and the current leadership”.
However, Akufo-Addo has told NPP members they can all see what is going on under the John Mahama-led government.
Akufo-Addo boldly claimed that things are not going well for the NDC government, using the Twi description “Ɛnkɔ yie”.
Speaking during the commissioning of the newly constructed NPP Bantama Constituency office on Friday, September 19, Akufo-Addo stated, “The work the NPP did during my time and during former President Kufuor’s time is enormous, and it is that legacy we will build on to win back power in 2028”.
“We have all seen what is happening, you’ve all seen it, things are not going well. But when we unite and do things right, I know that, with God’s help, we will reclaim power in 2028,” he added.
Meanwhile, Paul Afoko, the former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said it is wrong of the party to extend an olive branch and then impose conditions.
The former NPP chairman added that if the party’s goal is to bring people back together, then the party cannot put hurdles in their way.
Speaking on Okay FM with host Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, Paul Afoko stated, “The olive branch extended by the NPP is a good thing,” he said, acknowledging the effort at reconciliation. “But it is wrong for the party to impose conditions on the amnesty. There should be no conditions or rules tied to the return of former members.”
“If you want to bring people back together for a common goal, then you cannot at the same time put hurdles in their way. That is not reconciliation,” he stressed.
Paul Afoko further urged the party to implement a more inclusive posture to restore true unity, rather than creating rules that, in his view, could reignite old divisions.
Additionally, Paul Afoko, in an interview some time ago, said the party is yet to fully realise its potential.
He described NPP as still in a phase of rebuilding and rebranding.
“The NPP as a party has not recognised its potential. It hasn’t achieved its potential. It’s still a party of working out and rebranding, rebuilding,” Afoko stated.
He added, “I saw the NDC to be a militant party at the time that I came. It seems the roles have reversed”.
“After I had been thrown out by the court, we started developing Invisible Forces, Delta Forces, Bolgatanga Bulldogs, and we rather became militants,” he revealed.
