Mr. Sammy Crabbe Second Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is the only leading member of the party who is openly championing the course of the suspended chairman of the NPP.
If the current utterances of Mr. Crabbe are not stopped it is likely that he would lose his credibility and position. His public utterances show that he is against the disciplinary action taken against Mr. Afoko by the NPP.
Some aggrieved leading members of the party are calling for the suspension of Mr. Crabbe for constantly leading a crusade against the Authority of the NPP. Although Mr. Afoko has been suspended by the leadership of NPP, he has shown publicly that he still recognizes Mr. Afoko as chairman.
This means that he does not recognize the elevation of Mr. Freddy Blay from the position of first Vice Chairman to the position of acting chairman of the NPP. He does not take note of the position by the courts on the action taken by the NPP to suspend Mr. Afoko.
The posture by Crabbe is not acceptable not only by NPP but by almost all groups that adhere towards promoting discipline, obedience and loyalty.
Information gathered from the headquarters of the NPP is that he has not been seen at the headquarters of the party for quite a long time and does not attend meetings convened by the acting chairman of the party. If his behavior as mentioned above is true it smacks of lack of regard for the authority of the NPP leadership. He must turn a new leaf if he can before it is too late.
The question being asked is, what does Mr. Crabbe want to achieve by his entrenched position in the party and the lies he is peddling? He may be fighting genuinely for Mr. Afoko but he seems to be embarking on wrong moves that portray him as an extremist with an axe to grind with the current leadership of the party.
As he attacks the authority of the NPP it would lead to confusion in the party that would weaken it at a time that he is expected to work together with the party’s leadership as a team towards the elections in 2016.
