Friends of Portuphy appeal to President to disregard calls for removal

Audio By Carbonatix

A group calling itself ‘Friends of Portuphy’, has appealed to the President to disregard calls by some people in the opposition to remove Mr Kofi Portuphy, as the National Co-ordinator of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO).

According to them, there is no law in the country that bars a chief executive officer of a state organization from assuming office as chairman of a political party.

In a statement jointly signed by Mr Godwin Dela, Chairman, Mr Richard Dery Secretary and Mr Justice Anaman, Public Relations Officer the group said Mr Portuphy, as a dynamic leader has worked to transform the fortunes of NADMO to become one of the most efficient state institutions in the country now.

“Such a hard working leader should not be dismissed just because he had won an election to lead his political party as chairman”, the statement said.

The statement said NADMO has now become so attractive and the detractors of the government want Mr Portuphy removed so that the place could rot again.

The statement appealed to the President to ignore such calls and support Mr Portuphy to discharge his duties for the benefit of Ghana.
