Afoko, Agyepong not the right people to lead NPP - Amoako Baah

Head of the Political Science Department at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) is incensed about the continuous stay in office by the National Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Afoko and General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong.

According to Dr. Richard Amoako Baah, all odds is against these two individuals following the death of the Upper East regional Chairman, Adams Mahama, thus it will be in their interest to step aside.

Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyepong have come under pressure to step down following the death of Adams Mahama after a ghastly acid attack.

Although police are still conducting investigations into the matter, three regions namely, Central, Eastern and the Volta region have unanimously voted for them [Afoko, Agyepong] to relinquish their post.

Commenting on the recent development on Adom News Monday, Dr. Amoako Baah expressed shock at their recalcitrant posture.

“The die is cast so why are they still at post? These unanimous votes against them should tell them they are not wanted in the party,” he added.

The Head of the Political Science Department at KNUST stated emphatically that Mr. Afoko and Agyepong “are not the right people to lead the NPP”.

Dr. Amoako Baah urged the two NPP bigwigs to put the interest of the party first, step aside until after they have been exonerated from all allegations.

“There is nothing they can do about it; the more they hang on, the worse the situation becomes” he stressed.

Meanwhile flagbearer of the party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has denied allegations that he is behind moves to oust the General Secretary and Chairman.
