Afoko, Agyepong impeachment attempt could end up in court – Ephson Pollster Ben Ephson has warned the impeachment
attempts being made at NPP national chairman Paul
Afoko and general secretary Kwabena Agyepong could
end up in court, if not managed well.
According to him, the crisis in the opposition
party can only be tamed by the flagbearer.
Six regional branches of the party have passed a
vote of no confidence in Afoko and Agyepong
following their alleged involvement in the killing
of the Upper East regional chairman of the party
Adams Mahama.
Agyepong’s email account was allegedly hacked on
Tuesday to send out a statement of his
resignation, a move he has vehemently denied.
Commenting on the development on Morning Starr
Wednesday, the editor of the Dispatch newspaper
said the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition is on a
self-destruction course.
“If Akufo-Addo keeps quiet over this issue, he
is putting sand into his gari (a local staple).
“The failure of Nana Addo to come out and speak
on this matter is fuelling perceptions,” he
said.
He also noted that he will be very surprised if Mr
Agyepong decides to bow to pressure and resign his
post.
“I will be surprised, whoever released that
letter; it’s counterproductive.
“What is happening now is just like what
happened in 1979 when the progress party got split
up, they should just go back and check their
history.
“But in this scenario, if they try anything
illegal in the attempt to impeach them, it could
end up in court”. Source - Starrfm
