NDC Woman defies party

The Evening News carries a banner story that says Mrs. Esther Agbodo-Nyamalor, a member of the NDC who is contesting the Anlo parliamentary seat as an independent candidate, has said that not even the threats from the party headquarters will compel her to withdraw her nomination.

She said her decision to contest the seat does not make her a rebel in the ruling party, but rather gives her the opportunity to pursue her politically career.

She told the Evening News in an interview at the weekend that no official notice has been served her by the party and said there was no way she was going to respond to media announcement as she considers it to be inappropriate and inauthentic.

"I wrote to the General Secretary of the NDC for a leave of absence for six months, but I did not receive any response so why communicate to me through the media and not through my address?" she'd questioned.

Mrs. Agbodo-Nyamalor, according to the Evening News, maintained that if the leadership of the NDC had allowed squadron leader (rtd) Clend Sowu, to 'bully' them, she would not allow anybody to dictate to her, adding that, "no matter what, I will not rescind my decision."
