‘Nyaho Tamakloe Is NDC’

Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Lawyer Obiri Boahen, has flayed Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe for attacking the NPP National Chairman, Mr. Freddie Blay.

According to him, prior to the 2016 elections, Dr. Tamakloe defected from the NPP to join the National Democratic Congress (NDC); hence he should stay away from the internal affairs of the NPP.

He said “it is very unfortunate and disturbing considering Dr. Tamakloe’s statement that Mr. Blay’s election as the NPP National Chairman, with the mandate to stay in office for four years, is a ‘coup’ in the NPP”.

Without mincing words, Lawyer Boahen, who was brimming with rage, stated that Dr. Tamakloe forfeited his membership status in the NPP when he (Tamakloe) openly campaigned against the NPP in 2016.

“Dr. Tamakloe is now a prominent member of the NDC, having openly campaigned vigorously for ex-President John Dramani Mahama in 2016; therefore he has no right to talk about the NPP. He is no longer a member of the NPP so I don’t understand why he wants to open his mouth about the internal issues in the NPP”, he said during an interview with Kofi Asante of Nhyira FM.

He recollected: “Dr. Tamakloe stated openly in 2016 that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo cannot become the president of Ghana and I am surprised he now wants to turn and act as if he is a member of the NPP.

“We all know that Dr. Tamakloe is a proud NDC member now and so I am expecting him to fully concentrate and use his energy and efforts to talk and promote his dear political party, the NDC”.

Lawyer Boahen stated that Dr. Tamakloe’s appalling comments about the election of Mr. Blay as the NPP chairman was irresponsible, stressing that Dr. Tamakloe has no right to leave his NDC and create confusion in the NPP.

He said henceforth he would launch scathing attacks on Dr. Tamakloe anytime he would decide to hide behind his NDC to cause trouble in the NPP.

Lawyer Boahen therefore admonished NPP members not to take the wild allegations against the NPP by Dr. Tamakloe seriously. He said “he is not part of us and he only wants to see a divided NPP”.

He stated that members of the ruling political party are united and discerning, for which reason they would not kowtow to the blatant lies and wicked intentions of Dr. Tamakloe.
