According to reports from GhanaWeb, former Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Yaw Adomako Baafi, has criticized Eugene Boakye Antwi, the former Member of Parliament for Subin Constituency in the Ashanti region, for his comments following the party’s defeat in the 2024 general elections.
Adomako Baafi highlighted that Eugene had previously served as Deputy Minister for Works and Housing under the past administration but has now turned against his former boss, ex-President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
He urged Eugene to stop his criticisms of both the former president and the party leadership, suggesting that he himself is not without fault.
In a recent interview on Okay FM, he expressed concern over Eugene’s remarks, stating that he should reflect on his past and the support he received from Akufo-Addo.
He questioned Eugene’s motives, implying that his current grievances stem from personal ambitions within the party.
“So Eugene Boakye Antwi should take his time. If nothing at all, Akufo-Addo made you deputy minister, and you met Atta Akyea, who helped you a lot; so today, what has Akufo-Addo done? Because you are looking for General Secretary…you don’t respect anybody?, he queried.
Baafi remarked on Eugene’s reputation in his constituency, claiming he is selective in his engagements and distribution of resources.
He accused him of being overly critical and not respecting the contributions of others, emphasizing that Eugene had benefited from the previous administration.
Eugene, on the other hand, has blamed Akufo-Addo for the NPP’s loss, asserting that the former president and his inner circle played a significant role in the public’s discontent that led to the electoral defeat.
