He said Anyidoho is behind a group calling themselves "Young Democratic Forces" and they are working to cause disaffection for the party.
He said the group is designed to frustrate the party's General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia and the hard work of the NDC in the recovery process from their defeat in the 2016 Elections.

The Young Democratic Forces released a statement, calling on the delegates to reject Johnson Asiedu Nketia saying "due to the party's defeat in the 2016 polls, it is important for the National Chairman, General Secretary, National Organizer and National Youth Organizer to step down and leave their offices for new breed of people".
Portuphy said, "the party bemoans the involvement of some high ranking executives in this grand scheme to mudsling fellow comrades under the possible influence of the opposition NPP."
In a statement released to the media, he also said: "This gives credence to the long held position by true members of the current crop of executives that some of those we trusted were bought mercenaries of our sworn political opponents. On behalf of the true members of the NDC, and on my own behalf, as Chairman and one of few long serving stewards of the NDC".
"I call on all to condemn and reject with disdain the false and malicious contents of the press statement" by the "so-called pro-NDC group named Young Democratic Forces on the impending National Delegates Congress to elect National Executives Officers".
The statement also said: "We recognize the contribution of our General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia - against whom the statement is targeted in efforts towards maximizing such gains. We therefore categorically state after through scrutiny that the said press statement carries no weight aside the deliberate attempt to injure the exemplary reputation of the party's hardworking General Secretary".
