NPP must ensure discipline; Adwoa Safo should be ignored – Nana Obiri Boahen

The Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen has expressed displeasure about the conduct of Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament Sarah Adwoa Safo.

According to him, the New Patriotic Party in Dome-Kwabenya should not support the MP in her bid to seek re-election.

Speaking to Okay FM in an interview, Nana Obiri Boahen said it is important that the NPP ignores Sarah Adwoa Safo for her to lose her seat as a way of punishing her for the troubles she has caused the government over her long absence from parliament.

“In my opinion, anywhere you find yourself, there must be discipline. People have served the party but have not benefited, but for you, Adwoa Safo, you are an NPP member, you have become an MP, Deputy Minister, and a Minister of State and as a party, we need your assistance in taking decisions to vote.

“You kept saying you won’t come, the party pleaded, you insisted you won’t come, then you’re telling me that Adwoa Safo has pleaded for her actions and so we should do what? Should they accept her so that she returns to parliament again?”

“Impossible! We need to be disciplined. If you’re a politician and you are not disciplined, then there will be problems for you,” Obiri Boahen said.

Sarah Adwoa Safo last week dropped a video to apologise to NPP for her year-long absence from parliament that affected the business of the Majority in Parliament.

Today, pictures of the Dome-Kwabenya MP sharing yoghurt at the ongoing Limited Voter Registration exercise in her constituency have gone viral.

Many people are unhappy and argue that it is her way of wooing the people to give her a chance to contest for the parliamentary seat once more.
