General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu says leadership of the party is yet to decide the fate of its former deputy General Secretary, Nana Obiri Boahen.

Nana Obiri Boahene has met with the party’s Steering Committee to answer questions on some damaging allegations he made against his party in a leaked audio that went viral.

Nana Obiri Boahen, in the leaked phone conversation he had with an activist of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kwaku Skirt, claimed that, the presidency gave the party an amount of 50 billon cedis for its annual delegates conference in Cape Coast in 2017, a claim the NPP has since denied.

Mr. Boahen also claimed that despite playing a key role in NPP’s victory in the last general elections, he had been ignored since the party came into power.

He had stated that the party had failed to provide him with an official car for his work, adding that “I don’t remember the last time I received a monthly salary from the party.”

“Till date, I don’t even have an office at the party’s headquarters. To be frank, I have been using my own private car, and the party has not given me any official car for my use as Deputy General Secretary. I buy my own fuel. And even on official trips abroad, I’ll be left to my fate. When I recently went to Germany, it was an NPP Member who bought a ticket for me. I went to Spain, Dortmund it was an individual that processed my trip. I do virtually everything, and I don’t remember the last time I received a monthly salary from the party,” he said in the leaked tape.

Even though he has apologized for any mishap his utterances might have caused the party – John Boadu in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’ has said the party is yet to decide on his penalty.

“His [Nana Obiri Boahen] issue is with the Disciplinary Committee of the party. But after our national election we have to reconstitute all these committees, so the party will be receiving a formal report from them. But the then committee Chairman has assured me that everything is complete so the new committee will take a final decision on that,” he said.
