NPP cautioned against Young Elephants Movement

A Former Financial Secretary of the Young Elephants Movement (YEM), the youth wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on Mr Haruna Esseku, National Chairman of the party and the National Executive Council to revisit the issue of the movement before things got out of hand.

Mr Fiifi Eshun in a statement issued in Kumasi on Monday suggested that the party be bold to take punitive measures against those members of the movement, who were flouting authority.

Reacting to a publication in one of the private newspapers in which some members of the YEM sought to impugn the integrity of Mr Dan Botwe, General Secretary of the NPP, on a statement he issued on the status of the movement, he said it was not true that Alhaji Kwasi Yeboah financed the movement.

Fiifi Eshun said he was, therefore, in total support of the decision by the NEC to bring the movement under the zonal, constituency, regional to the National ambit of the NPP in accordance with the party's constitution.

The General-Secretary and Mr F. F. Anto, Ashanti Regional Chairman of the party, had done nothing wrong as far as the decision taken by the NEC on the movement was concerned to deserve the insults being heaped on them, he said.
