It has emerged that the suspended General Secretary and First Vice Chairman of the largest opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kwabena Agyepong and Sammy Crabbe respectively have congratulated the party’s Flagbearer, Nana Akufo Addo who has been elected president-elect in the December 7 election.
This was confirmed by Mustapha Hamid, Spokesperson of president-elect, Nana Akufo Addo.
“I just broke the rules and picked this call becuase it was from the office. They say I should put it out that Sammy Crabbe and Kwabena Agyepong have called Nana Akufo Addo to congratulate him,” he said on Joy FM’s News File show on Saturday.
A section of the public wondered what the reaction of the duo and some others who have sidelined in the party will be, following Nana Akufo Addo’s victory.
The two embattled National Executives of the NPP after they were suspended indefinately by the party in 2015, did not take part in the NPP campaign activities which has seen it being elected into power in the just ended poll.
Some members of the party filed various petitions to the Disciplinary Committee demanding the suspension of the two accused of working against the interest of the party to annex power in the 2016 general elections.
The two, among several other alleged misconduct, are said to have publicly questioned the powers of the NEC to suspend then party Chairman Paul Afoko, choosing rather to recognise him [Afoko] as the legitimate leader of the party and not Freddy Blay, the 1st Vice Chairman who has been asked to act in Afoko’s stead.
Kwabena Agyepong submitted to the Disciplinary Committee’s investigations and responded to the various allegations leveled against him by the four petitioners led by a former KNUST TESCON president, Chris Arthur.
But Mr. Sammy Crabbe declined the invitation by the Committee, questioning its authority to investigate him as a national executive member.
However, after its own investigations, the Disciplinary Committee concluded its work and recommended various sanctions against the two gentlemen.

Kwabena Aghapong allows him self to be used by Afoko,it hurts me he is not part of the winning team,it would have been to your credit,any way you still belong to the elephants.
So where is Paul Awentami Afoko?NPP has won the election without him . He should remove shame by encouraging Akuffo Addo
It's good that these two men in the elephant fraternity have shown some remorse and decided to congratulate Nana. That is the beauty of democracy. They must be forgiven.But what will shock me most is Dr Arthur Kennedy who was paid to stay abroad and destroy the party.I can't guess the title of his next book.Dr Tamakloe a one time beneficiary of Kuffour's government should all bow their heads in shame.
Don't stress your self. That JONATHAN of Lagos. Loves men. He can't deal with his insecurities and homophobic tendencies so he takes his anger on NPP. Simple JONATHAN try a woman. That thing will relax you. Ha ha. How does that grab you.
WE DON'T NEED THIS ,ENOUGH.
AM ASHAMED OF YOU.
Great leaders know when to say 'NO'and they mean it. Uncertain leaders accepts 'everything' to their detriment. Ghana needs leaders who know when to take great decisions for the wellbing of Ghana, not a 'few'. Nana be 'that' leader.
I'm at pains to advocate forgiveness for the 3 traitors and should be considered prodigal by Nana. After all, to err is human and to forgive divine. However,their appointment should be done with CAUTION! For all you know, they can still be Trojan horses. Fortunately, NPP is blessed with abundant talents and there is no need at all to rush the inclusion of people with doubtful integrity. Among the 3, it's Kwabena Agyapong's case that pains me so much. But that the price he has to pay!Sad!
Isn't it possible for the administrator of this sit to block this JONATHAN LAGOS guy? He is so irrita.ting, we can do without you pls. The British government and representatives of the US govt have congratulated Nana Addo.
@JONATHA.N , LAGOS. Do you still have the mouth to talk? At least you should get your facts correct when you come out to spew garbage as you did before the elections. Yes Nana Addo has indeed received calls from world leaders. As we are in opposition now, we need to get our facts spot on and that is how we will get respect for our comments here but not giving out lies.
