Former Afigya Kwabre Constituency Chairman of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Mr. Odeneho Kweku Appiah also known as COKA has called for unity in the party.
His call is as a result of the conversations of disunity which have erupted in the party after Mr. Alan Kyeramaten’s resignation.
According to the former constituency chairman, the party can risk going into opposition if they are not unified.
“Losing your manhood as a man is better than to live in opposition, it is hell,” he stated as he urged members of the party to stay focused and have hope for the future.
“Opposition in Ghana, you will lose some friends, no invitation for church fund raising, your confidence level sometimes will be low… Let’s strengthen our unity, stay focused, follow the elephant for protection, hope for the future and together we will break the eight”, he concluded.
Coka’s comments arrives at the back of recent brouhaha between the NPP and Alan Kyeremanten, leader of Movement for Change.
On Monday, September 25th, former trade minister and former flag bearer hopeful of the NPP Mr. Alan Kyeramateng announced his resignation from the party.
His resignation was due to certain irregularities in the party which had taken place prior and after the August 26th Super delegates conference.
According to Mr. Kyeramateng, efforts were made by the National Council of the party to skew the elections in favour of one candidate, notably Dr Mahamodu Bawumia.
He said, “I joined the NPP at the beginning of its establishment as a founding member, believing in its core values and the long standing traditions of its antecedents, predicted on fairness, equity, probity, accountability and transparency.”
These values according to him were lost hence compelling him to resign from NPP to contest as Independent Presidential candidate in the 2024 general elections on the ticket of Movement for Change.
