The Patriots, a pressure group in the Convention People’s Party says it has come to its attention that certain individuals claiming to be members of the CPP were going round various constituencies seeking to destroy the party and create a new one.

According to the Patriots, the group was going round asking party officials to complete a form simply titled “Political Movement” and asking them to forward the forms to Accra for action.

The Patriots said it was reliably informed that the group was financed by a foreign government that feared the reincarnation of the CPP and was seeking to destroy it in order to create a new party to serve the selfish interests of its leader, a prominent CPP member of hybrid political affiliation.

According to the Patriots, those behind these activities typically sent their agents to constituencies where the Patriots were in the process of opening offices or had opened offices, thus creating the impression that somehow the patriots groups was affiliated with them.

The Eastern Regional Chairman of the CPP, Nana Owusu-Sekyere claimed to have received copies of the forms allegedly sent to him by the Minister for Public Sector Reform, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom.

“When I went to my office, the regional office of theparty, I saw over 15 copis of a circular letter. I don’t know where it came from. The topic or agenda was Party Executives and it was asking us tosubmit the names of the party’s regional executive members to an unknwon person.

“When I inquired from my secretary, he told me that the bearer of theat circular letter told him that it was sent to him by Nduom.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Nduom has denied any knowledge of the alleged nefarious activities.

According to him, he was minding his business and concentrating on the work in his constituency and adviced others including his accusers to concentrate on the rejuvenation of the CPP.
