For what is deemed as a ‘political mortal combat’ in the opposition New Patriotic Party, The Editor-In-Chief of the Crusading Guide newspaper, Kweku Baako Junior- has offered a piece of ‘free advice’ to Mr. Paul Afoko.
According to him, the embattled Chairman could still remain a strong force in the party if he concentrates on his job as a businessman.
He stated that Mr. Afoko does not have the wherewithal to lead the party—as he is immature and has lost any moral authority to steer the affairs of the party.
“In the most unlikely event that he wins the court case or the internal structures of the party decide to reinstate him, he has lost the moral and political authority to lead a mass party like the NPP.
“Some of us have deliberately refused to do this kind of analysis for a long time, but accusing the flagbearer in these matters is not fair. There are some people who may be very good businessmen and committed to the party but are immature and lack the strategic ability to organise a party like the NPP; and that truth must be told,” he told Samson Lardy Anyenini on Newsfile on Joy FM Saturday.
The decision of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC), to unanimously suspend Mr. Afoko indefinitely, has resulted to a lot of violence in the party—and some political analysts have predicted doom for the party in the upcoming elections, if they fail to let go of their differences.
