Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, presidential aspirant of the Convention Peoples’ Party says his detractors, including lawyer Bright Akwetey and unnamed persons in the party’s leadership, are bent on a campaign to sow seeds of disaffection in the CPP. “What Mr. Bright Akwetey has done, is simply to have done something for political intent. This document, he and others have made it available throughout the country to the delegates for more than a month. They have been distributing it all over the place and I know which members of the national executives made copies and also went around the country to distribute the same document for the purpose of causing disaffection, not for any legal or any other purpose.” Dr. Nduom, who was speaking via phone on Joy FM’s current affairs programme, Newsfile, said he and his team had managed to disabuse the minds of all who have been prevailed upon by those distributing the documents and convinced them of how unworthy the documents are for anyone’s attention. He said after he succeeded in discounting the document as valueless for the purpose of discrediting him, the group opposed to his ambitions have resorted to other means. “What they have done recently is convene a meeting of the number of them to try and say that if they don’t stop Nduom, then it means that at the congress people are really going to vote for him. But for the other people competing for other national executive positions and they wouldn’t have anything to do with the congress and therefore, they would take these actions, and that is why they have gone to this extent. They know the circumstances behind all of this, they know all of that. Let nobody come to me about legal matters.” Nduom said he had vowed never to engage in the politics of insults and vilification as others have found expedient, rather, he would wait until the congress is over and then seek professional advise. He would not specify taking legal action against the perpetrators but insisted that in all his dealings, he had sought professional counselling from reputable authorities and would pursue the same course. “What I have said I will do after the congress is to take up and have somebody give total professional advice on what is to be done when somebody does a thing like this for political intent. I know what I have gone through in this country since 1996. I know what I hear, what I did politically that make people cite all kinds of things that people are throwing about in the public domain. I have known about all of that. I’m not afraid to answer to anything to anybody, any where. I’m not afraid of that. People who know me know that I stick, I stick to my principles and if I have to do anything any where, I always go to the bottom of it and try to deal with it.” “This is political and I am telling you it will fail. The delegates know what is going on and tomorrow it will fail.” He said as far as he was concerned, there was no credibility to the claims of his detractors and he would not give them the undue attention they have sought to attract by their action. The CPP is this weekend electing national executives and presidential candidate at a national delegates congress at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology where the Ashanti Regional Police Command says all is calm and were hoping for a peaceful congress. Six candidates are contesting the presidential slot; Nduom, Akwetey, Prof. Agyemang Badu-Akosa, George Aggudey, Dr. Kwaku Osafo and F.W. Asante Akuffo.
