Okudzeto behind my hounding - Tarzan

Suspended stalwart of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Dr. Charles Wereko-Brobby, has accused one of the party’s Deputy Communication Directors, Mr. Perry Okudzeto, of conspiring with some folks to unleash angry supporters on him during his meeting with the disciplinary committee on Friday.

“But for the timely action of a member of the disciplinary committee in calling the police, total chaos and violence would have been the outcome of the very shoddy and clearly conspiratorial behaviour of you [Perry Okudzeto] and your fellow managers of the party,” Dr. Wereko-Brobby asserted in a statement he issued on Friday titled: "ATTENTION MR. PERRY OKUDZETO". The energy expert in the statement expressed reservations about an interview Mr. Okudzeto granted some radio stations while the meeting with the committee was in progress.

He noted: “It was instrumental that you and other managing staff at the party secretariat failed to offer adequate protection to the meeting, allowing baying and marauding youth to attempt to break down the doors and make a forcible entry into the meeting”.

He said: “This was all taking place at a time when the meeting was being assured by the official in charge that adequate arrangements had been made to ensure peace and civility during the proceedings”.

Perry Okudzeto is quoted by Myjoyonline.com, in a story headlined: "Wereko-Brobby has realised his insincerity - NPP", to have said on Friday, June 14, 2013 that Dr. Wereko-Brobby’s apology “is a step in [the] right direction”, and that: “It signifies that he has realised his phoney and, therefore, if he finds it wise enough to apologise to the vice presidential candidate and the star witness of the party, so be it.”

The news website also said: “Perry Okudzeto insisted that though the party has recognised the fact that he has apologised to the man in question, there are more issues to be dealt with so far as Tarzan is concerned”.

However, Dr. Wereko-Brobby, popularly called Tarzan, has taken exception to Mr. Okudzeto’s interview.

He said: “Your reported interview with the media on my letter to Dr. Bawumia is unfortunate as it is tactless”.

“I am not sure that the party authorised you to make such a statement in the middle of meetings with the disciplinary committee, to which you were invited briefly, and at which you confirmed that you had received copies of both articles at the time that they were issued,” Dr. Wereko-Brobby asserted.

“Alas conduct like yours feeds the sort of indiscipline that has afflicted the hitherto calm, civilised and tolerant manner in which the Party's business has hitherto been conducted”, he observed.

According to him, “the party of DANQUAH-BUSIA & DOMBO must be rescued from folks like you who clearly have very little understanding of the founding principles of TOLERANCE, DIVERSITY OF OPINION, RULE OF LAW & DECENT CONDUCT”.
