Buaben Asamoa Exposes ‘Things’ President Nana Addo is doing in the NPP

A Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart Mr. Yaw Buaben Asamoa has alleged that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has seized control of the party.

Speaking in an interview with Umaru Sanda on Citi TV’s Face to Face on Tuesday, Mr Buaben Asamoa expressed his disappointment with the current state of affairs within the New Patriotic Party.

He alleged that the party is being controlled by one person, President Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo. He explained that it is either you are in the good books of President Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo, you are effectively not useful being in the party.

“The NPP that I knew in the beginning is not the NPP that exists now. The party has become divided by heavy factionalism. Literally, it’s become divided by the executive. The government has taken over. The personality of the president is overbearing and he controls that party.”

He further stated the detrimental impact of the president’s control, declaring, “That means that if you don’t do the president’s [bidding] if you are not in the president’s good books, you are not useful to the party. That is the bottom line. That is what is happening.”
