The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Akuapem South Constituency has slammed what it said was a veiled plot by ‘a ghost group dubbed NASGRAT’ to soil the name of the Member of Parliament for the area, Mr. O. B. Amoah.
The group, the constituency executives stressed, is unknown in the NPP and is only seeking to destabilise and cause disaffection for the governing party.
A statement by the NPP executives said the attempt to misinform and mislead constituents with the claims that Mr. O.B. Amoah is unpopular is driven by ignorance because he had the highest margin of votes in the history of the Constituency and has consistently led the NPP to victory.
“It is devious for the faceless group to claim that nothing has happened in the Constituency when the education, health, road, agriculture, employment, energy, and water sectors, among others, have seen remarkable improvement during the tenure of our able and successful MP. We will continue to provide numerous projects in the name of the Party and the MP every time.
“It is the height of hypocrisy that few people could pretend that they don’t know the political strength of our MP goes beyond the Constituency when he has achieved so much at the national level.
“It is only ungrateful people who will seek to destroy the image of the Hon. MP and the Party simply because their backers are scared and lack the confidence to compete,” the statement said.
The executives argued it is politically unwise and unpatriotic to seek to destroy a valuable asset like O.B. Amoah who is trusted, useful and reliable for the constituency, the Regional and National Party now and even if he ceases to be the MP for Akuapem South.
They pledged to strongly defend the good name of the MP and the NPP and will fiercely resist attempts by detractors to divide, weaken and destroy the party after such a strong and durable NPP has been built over the years.
The executives appealed to all members, especially the youth to be loyal and patriotic in defending the NPP constitution.
“We should patiently wait for the impending primaries and encourage all members who are willing and able to compete in a free and fair environment to do so, without intimidation.
“We should not allow a few faceless people to think they can decide for us and negatively change our lives. In unity is strength and we are stronger together,” the statement added.
