The suspended Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Afoko, has commended persons who picketed at the party’s headquarters on Thursday demanding his reinstatement.
“I commend those who poured onto the streets of Accra in defense of our party constitution for their bravery, love for unity and the rule of law,” a statement by Mr. Afoko’s spokesperson said.
Hundreds of NPP members thronged the party’s head office to condemn the suspension of Paul Afoko from his position.
The protesters also demanded that the General Secretary of the NPP, who is a supposed ally of Paul Afoko, be allowed to discharge his duties without interference.
The statement, signed by Nana Yaw Osei, Mr. Afoko’s spokesperson, said the zeal exhibited by the protesters moving onto 2016 could help the party wrestle power form the National Democratic Congress.
“I have always maintained that whatever is happening in the NPP against the National Chairman, Mr. Paul A. Afoko, is not against his person but rather an attack on our party’s constitution.”
He also “commended the organizers for putting together an incident-free public event like what we saw on TV and heard on radio.”
“If we can exhibit such bravado in love and unity, there is no way the NPP cannot win next year’s general elections,” the statement added..
