Political scientist who is also a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Richard Amoako Baah, has explained that if he were the party’s chairman, he would have expelled former President Akufo-Addo from the NPP.
He emphasized that Akufo-Addo cannot be shielded from responsibility for the NPP’s defeat in the recent general election.
Dr. Amoako Baah claimed that although the truth is widely known within the party, many members are afraid to speak up.
He said, “They are still afraid to speak up. They want to talk about the president, but they are not able to because he is the one who caused the whole defeat. It should be put on his head.
“He is the person behind this whole thing. He became very unpopular. He became arrogant, you know, and did whatever he wanted — even threatened his own party members, the MPs.
“Some of them, he actually campaigned against. How does that happen? If I were the chairman, I would have thrown him out of the party,”
Dr. Baah also criticised NPP Chairman, Stephen Ayesu Ntim, for allowing Akufo-Addo to act unchecked, alleging that the former president even went as far as threatening Members of Parliament.
In an interview on TV3, he alleged that Akufo-Addo still seeks to control the party, despite the defeat, and has hijacked the whole party after bringing them to this disastrous end.
According to him, Akufo-Addo should have kept quiet, walked away into the sunset, and sat somewhere quietly. But he still wants to control the party.
