Director of Communications of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akomea is warning the rank and file of the elephant fraternity to be circumspect not to flout the orders of the 2016 presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo to ceasefire.

Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo -Addo, last Friday has told party activists that the task ahead of the party is to unseat the ruling National Democratic Congress and members should therefore channel their resources towards that direction.

He has thus warned them to cease the needless infighting.

He pointed out that there is absolutely nothing to be gained from the internal recriminations within the NPP except to provide a fertile soil for their opponent, thus the NDC.

“None of us in the NPP should forget for one moment that we have an election to fight and win in eighteen [18] months’ time. We are also in the middle of electing our parliamentary candidate for that purpose.

“…None of us should forget that the desperate state into which our nation as be plunge and none of us should forget that the people of Ghana look up to us [NPP] to rescue our nation. We dare not jeopardize this secret trust by fruitless internal strife,” he warned

Soon after the NPP leader’s warning, Arthur Kennedy, a leading member of the party opined that, the NPP’s flagbearer should have rather condemned attempts by regional executives to overthrow National Chairman, Paul Afoko and General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong during his press conference last week.

Commenting on the way forward after Nana Addo’s warning, Nana Akomea on Oman Fm’s National Agenda warned that disciplinary procedures will be carried out against anyone who flouts the directives of Nana Akufo-Addo.

“In the party we have disciplinary procedure to punish people and so if the leader of the party has shown the way to safeguard peace and unity in the party, and as a true loyal party member you speak to counter what the leader has said, then you should understand that the party can decide to punish you”, he stated.

“As we move forward, I believe the party leaders will punish anybody who flouts the orders of NPP 2016 Flagbearer in accordance with the party’s law….those who are speaking ill of the party leaders without basis must stop”, he added.
