The Ashanti Region Constituency Chairmen Association is calling on the Council of Elders to immediately withdraw a petition for the suspension of Paul Akoko.
The Association said it is disappointed that “despite the continuous public appeal by the flag bearer to party members to refrain from taking internal party issues to the media, certain senior party figures have openly disrespected the flag bearer's calls. The most recent of the flag bearer's calls were made at Oda and Tamale in the Eastern and Northern regions respectively when his "Rise & Build" tours got to those regions.”The statement signed by five chairmen from the Ashanti region said the move by the Council of Elders is a dangerous one as they have also flouted a directive by the flag bearer of the party to cease fire.
This is very dangerous! Regrettably, the Council has also released a statement into the media in flagrant disregard of the flag bearer's directive.
They are also calling on the 5-member NEC Sub-Committee investigating the alleged financial malfeasance involving national Officers of the party should expeditiously deal with the issue and bring out its findings.
They also want the flag bearer to take the necessary steps to bring peace and harmony into the party “because we trust that he has the capacity and the clout to do it.”
