Victor Smith Condemns Obed

Special Assistant to the former Head of State, Victor Smith is livid with anger. He has accused Dr Obed Asamoah, National Chairman of the NDC of deliberately sabotaging his own party.

''I can’t understand why Dr Asamoah is always and openly attacking the Founder of the party and has refrained from commenting on the ineptitude of the Kufuor administration. Many party faithfuls are beginning to wonder where Dr Asamoah’s loyalty lies'', he said in an interview with the Insight newspaper.

Asked if there were personal problems between his boss and Dr Asamoah, he said, ''no there is no personal problem. I suspect that Dr Asamoah has his own agenda and that agenda cannot be in the interest of the NDC''.

According to Mr Smith, ''many party loyalists have been coming to us to complain about the openly subversive activities of Dr Asamoah''. Relations between ex-President Rawlings, founder of the NDC and Dr Asamoah has never been cordial.

Last week, Dr Asamoah in a press statement, called for the redefinition of Jerry Rawlings’ role in the party. He explained that the activities of the Founder are overshadowing that of the flagbearer and could affect the party’s chances in the 2004 elections if not addressed.
