Rejoinder - Regional CHairmen to oust Afoko, Agyepong
The attention of the Office of Nana Akufo-Addo has
been drawn to a story on page 19 of the May 25,
2015 edition of the Daily Graphic titled
“Regional Chairmen plan to oust Afoko,
Agyepong?”

The story, written by Kobby Asmah and Abdul Aziz,
claims that “the emergency regional congresses
aimed at rallying support for the ousting of the
two National Executive members, according to some
close sources of the Party, were allegedly being
instigated by the Party’s flagbearer, Nana
Akufo-Addo.”

The story also goes on to quote the National
Chairman of the NPP, Mr. Paul Afoko as confirming
that he was informed of the Regional Executive
Committee meetings by the flagbearer, and that he,
Mr. Afoko, was at a loss as to why the Regional
Executive Committee meetings should be allowed to
take place on the same day as the scheduled NEC
meeting.

The import of this Daily Graphic report seeks to
portray Nana Akufo-Addo as having sanctioned the
Regional Executive Committee meetings, despite an
earlier agreement with the National Chairman to
hold a National Executive Committee meeting on the
same day, Monday, May 25, 2015.

This impression is totally wrong, flawed, and
mischievous. As a general rule, Nana Akufo-Addo
does not to like to engage in media commentary on
internal NPP matters, but, having regard to the
importance of the issues at stake and the central
role of the Daily Graphic in the Ghanaian media,
it is necessary for him to set the records
straight.

The facts of the matter are as follows:

1. On his arrival from Europe on May 22, he met in
the evening with the Chairman and General
Secretary of the party to review the recent,
unfortunate, tragic developments that had taken
place in the party. They agreed that a joint
meeting of the National Executive Committee and
the National Council of Elders be convened for
Monday, May 25, to deliberate on them.

2. The next day, May 23, at the funeral in
Bolgatanga of the late Adams Mahama, he took the
opportunity to inform the Regional Chairmen and
others about the impending National Executive
Committee meeting scheduled for Monday, May 25th.
He was then informed by the Regional Chairmen that
they had already scheduled a meeting of their
respective Regional Executive Committees for the
same Monday, May 25th, and that they therefore
were requesting that on his return to Accra, he
should inform the National Chairman of this and
seek an adjournment of the National Executive
Committee meeting.

3. On his return to Accra, on Saturday, May 23, he
informed the National Chairman of this
development, and urged the National Chairman and
the General Secretary to make contact with the
Regional Chairmen to sort the matter out so that
the National Executive Committee meeting could
take place as scheduled.

4. To his surprise, on Sunday May 24, he received
notice that the National Chairman had cancelled
the National Executive Committee meeting scheduled
for Monday, May 25, without any prior reference to
him.

These are the facts of the matter and it is thus
clear that Nana Akufo-Addo bore no responsibility
whatsoever for the convening of the Regional
Executive Committee meetings. Nana Akufo-Addo
wants the membership of the NPP to understand that
he continues to work for understanding and unity
in the party.
