Afoko, Agyepong can’t step aside – Osei-Ameyaw
An ex-flagbearer aspirant of the New Patriotic
Party (NPP), Kofi Osei-Ameyaw, has observed that
until the police implicate the National Chairman
of the elephant family, Paul Afoko and General
Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong, in the death of the
late Adams Mahama, the two cannot be compelled to
step aside.

Osei-Ameyaw, who is also the Member of Parliament
for the Asuogyamang Constituency said “for now,
there is no evidence to implicate the two” and
therefore urged the party faithful and
sympathisers to remain calm.

According to the legislator, as a party that
believes in the rule of law, it was important to
dispel any perception linking Afoko and Agyepong
to the death of the late Upper East Regional
Chairman of the party and deal with the hard facts
if any.

“We don’t work with perceptions like it
appears… no, we don’t stand on it to make
decisions. It doesn’t work like that,”
Osei-Ameyaw said on Kasapa FM’s current affairs
programme Si Me So, hosted by Kwaku Owusu Adjei
Frimpong.

He added: “Stepping aside should not be done on
the basis as it appears… it should be done on
the basis of facts”.

Afoko and Agyepong are currently under fire from
some stalwarts of the NPP to step aside until
investigations into the murder of Mahama are
concluded. He died last Thursday, May 21, 2015,
after he was attacked with acid by some
assailants.

The two have been blamed by some supporters of the
party over events that happened prior to the death
of the regional chairman.
