The General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie popularly known as Sir John, has vented his spleen on the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Okaikoi South, Nana Akomea; asking him to be careful when dealing with him as the general secretary of the party.
Speaking on Hello FM on Friday, Sir John described Nana Akomea, the Communications Director of the NPP as a mere appointee of the party; whereas he was elected as the General Secretary.
Sir John’s fury is in reaction to comments by Nana Akomea that his [Sir John] allegation that President Mahama and the National Security masterminded Dr. Bawumia’s accident is not the party’s position.
“Nana Akomea was appointed by the party to speak for the campaign team so he should know his limit and how to address party issues. I stood for elections and won, Nana Akomea was appointed by the party to work for a period”, Sir John lamented.
Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie noted that Nana Akomea ‘no longer speaks for the party because he was appointed as Communications Director for the campaign team of the 2012 December elections’.
“Nana Akomea does not speak on an issue unless he has been briefed by me. He must therefore know his limit else I will cut him to size or better still face my wrath if he speaks against me. Though I have no issues against him, I want him to respect my position as the General Secretary” he opined.
