Respect NEC's decision - Nana Addo

Nana Akufo Addo, flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on party members to respect the decision of the National Executive Committee (NEC) on the indefinite suspension of the National Chairman of the Party, Paul Afoko. In a statement released on Monday, Nana Addo said, “the appropriate organs of the Party have acted. I am, therefore, calling on all loyal members of the Party to respect the decision of NEC and the Constitution of the Party, which provides channels for redressing grievances.” “The NPP requires a united and committed front for the task ahead. We need to stay focused and organise ourselves to prosecute a successful campaign in 2016 to relieve the Ghanaian people from their sufferings and hardships. Ghanaians are looking up to us,” he added. Afoko was suspended last Friday after the NEC upheld a decision by the party’s Disciplinary Committee. The Committee took the decision after Afoko failed to appear before the committee to answer allegations of misconduct leveled against him.
