President Nana Akufo-Addo has stated that the suspension of Paul Afoko as the Chairman of the NPP as well as General Secretary, Kwabena Agyapong and Second National Vice Chairman, Sammy Crabbe paved way for the NPP to gain power in the 2016 election.
Addressing delegates at the 26th National Delegates Conference in Koforidua, the president commended the leadership of the party and the council of elders for taking the tough decision to bring sanity into the party.
The president was full of praise for the Chairman of the NPP council of Elders, C.K Tedam for his intervention to resolve issues within the party.
“It was thus imperative that we elect officers who would unify the party and mobilize all its talents and energies to lead us to the all-important victory of 2016. Unfortunately, that did not happen.
“The Council of Elders under the leadership of intrepid leadership of veteran nationalist and statesman, C.K Tedam, stepped in and initiated the process that led to the suspension of three senior elected officials…That decision saved our party and kept alive the possibilities of victory,” he added.
