The current posture of Kwame Baffoe Abronye shows that all is not well with the grassroot members of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Obiri Boahen has warned.
According to Abronye, officials of the party who have been appointed in the current government have rather been focused on rewarding members of opposition parties at the expense of NPP members.
Abronye alleged that the government awarded a GH¢10 million contract to the founder and leader of the United Front Party, Akwasi Addai Odike.
“It will amaze you that party executives who are industrious farmers are begging for loans from a certain bank [name withheld] to expand their businesses, but to no avail. These farmers have been denied support, yet Akwasi Addai Odike has been given $50,000 by this same state bank to set up a factory in Kumasi, and absolutely nothing has been done on the purported land.
“Odike has squandered the money to the bone, yet he is always on radio and TV insulting the president. Same Akwasi Addai Odike was awarded a cocoa road contract worth GHS 10 million and sold it to our Chairman Wontumi for GHS 800,000,” he alleged.
Speaking on Wontumi TV which was monitored by Wontumionline.com, Nana Obiri Boahen therefore advised the leadership of the party to meet with him and resolve the concerns he has raised since it represents what most members of the party are going through.
Lawyer Nana Obiri Boahen stated that “People in leadership must meet him because he has spoken the mind of NPP foot soldiers. He isn’t the only one complaining.”
