Former President John Agyekum Kufour has called on the members of the
New Patriotic Party (NPP) to stop tearing the party apart in media
over the death of Alhaji Adams Mahama, the party's Upper East regional
chairman.
He cautioned party members against "acrimonious accusations in the
media" which he said "only serve to further divide their ranks and
allow heir detractors to infiltrate them."
In a statement signed by his spokepeson, Frank Agyekum, the former
President said he finds it disquieting that issues that must
beresolved in accordance with laid down procedures of the party's
constitution are constantly being discussed in the media without
regard to the overall effect on its fortunes.
The former President who is currently out of the country reiterated
the need for calm and circumspection in the affairs of the party.
He posited that the NPP needs to unite not only for its own good but
for that of the entire nation that is looking up to it as the
alternative government The Ex-President urged that the painful and
untimely passing away of Alhaji Mahama, should be used to unite the
party and not tear it apart.
He further appealed that the "national investigative system that has
already taken charge of the process be allowed to work rather than the
party seeming to preempt the outcome."
NPP Chairman in the Upper East Region, Adam Mahama died after he was
ambushed and attacked with acid.
His death has caused some confusion in the party with many calling for
the resignation of National Chairman of the party, Paul Afoko, and
General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong.
This is because some believe the death was triggered by events that
took place prior to the attack on Adam Mahama.
