Some party youth members have demanded that the suspended National Youth Organiser and National Secretary be reinstated immediately. The two were suspended for having different opinions from that of the party’s presidential nominee over President Mahama’s Ford expedition gift.

Communication Director of CPP Kadril Abdul Rauf believes the youth of the party are not making these demands on their own accord. Speaking to CitiFM he said after Samia lost in the race for the CPP’s flag bearer position to Ivor Greenstreet, she has been influencing the youth of the party to cause confusion.

“Samia is actually an idol in that circle. Ernesto, the youth organizer does not live in his own house, he lives in the house of Samia Nkrumah and all of them, that is where they gather and hold their meetings. I’m proving to you that she is part of that platform and every discussion that is happening, it is happening under her eyes and she is aware of it.”

Abdul Rauf said his allegations were based on Samia’s reaction after she was defeated,  adding that “she made that baseless accusation that Ivor Greenstreet has been sponsored by the NDC.”

He further argued that if the Member of Parliament of Jomoro was against the actions of the youth in the party she would have been the first to speak to the media about it.

He said “Now this argument that they are making has not departed from that assertion she made some months ago. That is what they are seeking to fuel. I also know Samia and I know that if she didn’t approve it, she will be the first person to speak in the media or dissociate herself from it. But the fact that she is quiet, it will be difficult for her to be exonerated from this."

The CPP announced the suspension of the two national executive last week. National Youth Organiser Ernesto Yeboah defied the orders and returned to the office on Monday amidst cheers from some party youth. He said he had not received any official notification indicating he has been suspended.

Meanwhile, pulse.com.gh has been trying to reach Samia Nkrumah for comment but to no avail.
