The Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akomea has strongly denied accusations by Assin North MP, Kennedy Agyapong that the party betrayed him when he got into trouble recently. According to Nana Akomea, the comments by Kennedy Agyapong are very surprising after all party executives threw their unflinching support behind him when he was arrested by the Police for declaring war on his Radio station, Oman FM. The outspoken politician in an interview with Adom FM on Friday categorically stated that the decision to dissociate the party from his comments was not a unanimous one taken by executives of the party. He accused Gabby Asare Otchere Darko, Oboshie Sai Coffie and Nana Akomea as the persons who masterminded a statement that sought to distance the NPP party from his inflammatory comments. He added that he was hugely disappointed in his party for betraying and abandoning him during his trying times. Mr. Agyapong also stated that the party treated him unfairly. He further alleged that he was more disappointed when he realised that Nana Akomea who worked for him after he completed University was part of the people who betrayed him. Responding to the allegations, Nana Akomea told Joy News that the party never betrayed him in anyway. �The party has never betrayed him, we have always been with him especially when he got into trouble with the Police. I was there, the party Chairman Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey was there, the General Secretary and party loyalists were all there so how have we betrayed him?� The Okaikoi South MP added that the party was not comfortable with his comments but did all it could to support him. He also denied that the letter to dissociate the party from his comments was not from the party. Nana Akomea further denied that he ever worked for Kennedy Agyapong after his University education.
