Afoko, Agyepong must come out and campaign – Nitiwul

The Deputy Minority Leader of Parliament Dominic Nitiwul has advised suspended National Chairman of the NPP Paul Afoko and General Secretary Kwabena Agyepong to come out and campaign for the party’s flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo, despite their suspension.

According to him, such a gesture will show their true love and believe in the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition.

The two senior executives were suspended last year for engaging in acts the party said could be detrimental to its electoral fortunes. Since then, they have not been heard or seen at any party event.

Speaking on Starr Chat Wednesday, the Bimbila MP told host Bola Ray that the two must still campaign for the elephant family in spite of their issues with the party.

“I think Afoko and Agyepong must come out and campaign for Nana Addo. I don’t doubt their love for the party but they must join the campaign and push for change. If I were suspended today , I will still campaign for the NPP. So I am saying the two of them must not wait to be called, they themselves must push to join the party’s campaign.

“Nana Akufo-Addo doesn’t call people to join the campaign; you yourself must find out where the campaign is and then you join to show your love and commitment to the party,” he stressed
