Professor Ransford Gyampo, senior lecturer at the Department of Political Science of the University of Ghana has served a strong notice to the NPP over the recent comment made by President Akufo Addo in the central region.
In his recent post on Facebook, Professor Ransford Gyampo dropped a video of the president ‘indirectly’ campaigning for Eugene Arhin, director of Communications at the Office of the President. In the video, the president assured the people of Awutu Senya West that when Eugene Arhin succeeds at the primary level of the party, he will do greater things for the community.
“As you know, one of your very own, the director of Communications at the presidency, Mr. Eugene Arhin has done a very good job in lobbying persistently for the roads to be constructed just as he did for the Bawjiasi- Kasoa Road. It is public knowledge that he intends to contest on the ticket of the NPP in 2024. If he is successful at the parliamentary primaries, Nananom, I am confident that he will do an excellent job for you and I appeal on all of to support him” he said.
With this message from the president, Professor Ransford Gyampo has urged the general secretary of the party to summon the president because he has breached the code. He added that other persons who broke this code were summoned and he will expect Justin Kodua to so same to the president.
“You are giving unfair advantage to Eugene Arhin, knowing very well that Parliamentary Primaries for the area hasn’t been held.”
“I expect Justine Frempong Kodua, the General Secretary of the Party to muster the testicular fortitude as a man who believes in fairness to summon you before your Party’s Complaint Committee. He did this to Hopeson Adorye and Assifua. No one is above the law and the application of the law must not be selective” he said.
Below is the party’ code that forbids any executive from campaigning either directly of indirectly for an aspirant.
