Nyaho Tamakloe vows to fight NPP for his suspension

The Regional Chairman of the party Ishmael Ashitey suspended Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe following a petition filed against him by a member in the Ayawaso Constituency.

 

A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe, has described the latest decision by the Greater Accra Regional executives of the party to suspend him as the work of "gaping sycophants"

The petitioner, Stephen Asante, accused Dr Tamakloe of conducting himself in a way that undermined the peace and unity within the party.

But, in a quick response, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe said the executives had no right to suspend him, and he is ready to fight them.

” I treat with contempt, the letter purportedly written by the Greater Accra Regional executives of the NPP  on the 31st of December,  2015 suspending me from the party. The authors are just “gaping sycophants,” Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe stated in a statement.

He said “the authors were in  such a haste to attack me that they failed to respect the time-honoured principle of giving an accused the opportunity to face his accusers and defend himself. This so called suspension is of no moment and I will continue to fight for NPP’S ideals.”

“As a statesman, in recent times, I have heeded counsel not to speak on party matters. However,  I have never retreated from a fight so I will respond pound for pound. Please ask my detractors what the party has done to members who, among other things:

a) violently disrupted party parliamentary primaries leasing to criminal prosecution

b) advocated that only Akans are worthy of ruling Ghana

c) falsely attack His Excellency J. A. Kufuor and other leading members of the Party without basis

d) violently disrupted public functions organised by other party members including senior citizens Attoh-Quarshie

e) violently prevented elected Party officials from entering the Party headquarters

f) havebeen caught on tape planning to mount dubious court cases against financial institutions to make money for their own pockets.”

He further stated that, “all of these people want to prove their allegiance to our flag bearer by running others down. They are counting their chickens before they are hatched. Instead of focusing on the 2016 elections,  they are pursuing an agenda of rumour mongering.”

“I refuse to answer to fascists. I will answer to people like J. A. Kufuor,  B. K. Adama,  Tolon Naa Alhaji Yakubu Talli, Roland Al hassan,  Dzato Kaleo,  Alhaji Adbulai Issahaque, Peter Ala Adjetey, D. J. DaRocha, Dr. Dsane Selby, J. H. Mensah, Samuel Odoi Sykes,  K. G. Osei Bonsu and those who laid the foundation of our party, and not these ignoramuses. Even the Greater Accra Regional chairman – who knows him in Greater Accra?,” the statement added.

Dr. Tamakloe becomes the fourth leading member of the party to be suspended after then National Chairman, Paul Afoko, General Secretary Kwabena Agyepong, and 2nd Vice Chair Sammy Crabbe.
