The Dispatch

The paper carries a banner headline which reads "Kojo Tsikata quits NDC". According to the paper, Capt. (rtd) Kojo Tsikata, former Security Advisor to the erstwhile Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) and the National Democratic Congress, has quit the Party. The paper added that though both sides (Kojo Tsikata and the ruling party) are all tight-lipped on the cause of the friction they believe it might have been caused by the first lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings. The paper continued that another long-standing member of the PNDC/NDC, Mr. Paul Victor Obeng has been subjected to various forms of intimidation because of his alleged support for the Reformed Movement. According to the paper, the two personalities (Capt. Tsikata and P.V. Obeng) are currently floating politically and there is an anxiety as to which of the political Parties they will be associating themselves to. The paper concluded, the last time these two political giants were seen in public was on March 7 1999, when they attended a Forum on pan-Africanism organised by the Convention Party to honour the pioneers of Ghana's Independence struggle.
