The communications Director of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Fomena constituency, in the Ashanti region, Seth Oduro, has said the grassroots support in that constituency is dwindling.
According to him, this is as a result the actions of some executives of the party in the constituency.
Mr Oduro has been disqualified from contesting as the chairman of the party in the primaries after he was accused of peddling falsehood against the vetting committee and some other leading members of the party in the constituency.
A livid Mr Oduro told Chief Jerry Forson on the Ghana Yensom show on Accra 100.5FM on Monday 19 February 2018 that the current constituency chairman of the party, Kwesi Nti Asamoah, is working against his ambition, hence his suspension.
“I appeared before the vetting committee and a member of the committee Dr Addei Mensah said my documents did not appear before the committee and that the Chairman of the party said I have been suspended.
“But I have not been suspended, nobody has even officially accused me and so I was surprised at the development. This is unacceptable.
“The chairman Kwesi Nti is the one working against me; he has even placed his wife and girlfriends in the election album. He is very unpopular in the constituency and so he feels threatened by me. I want the party leadership to come in because his action is killing the grassroots in the constituency.”
Meanwhile Mr Nti Asamoah has denied all the allegations against him.
He told Show host Forson that the comments by Mr Oduro are false and must be disregarded.
“Oduro is disrespectful, all he does is to peddle falsehood about executives of the party and that has led to his disqualification.”
