Executives of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) have met with the Ashanti Regional chairman of the party to resolve divisions allegedly created by Nana Akufo-Addo. Regional Chairman,Yaw Amankwaa, has accused the party’s flagbearer in the last election of deliberately dividing the party within the region, accusing him of seeking to exploit that division ahead of a re-election bid. Mr. Amankwaa cites a selective meeting with some regional party executives to back his case. He alleges that, at the meeting, Nana Addo spoke out against his bid for re-election as Regional Chairman. “I think it is unfortunate for him to have said things like that…”, Mr Amankwaa stated. Asked if the comment had negatively affected his campaign efforts in the region, Mr Amankwaa responded in the affirmative. “I think it is undermining because at the moment I am campaigning for regional chairmanship…He has been unfair to me and to the whole party,” he added. Mr Amankwaa said the former flag bearer’s comment could divide the party. “[Nana Addo] is bringing division into the party and that will not augur well for the party,” he said. Mr Amankwaa told Joy News' Evans Mensah he is ready to work with anyone who emerges as presidential candidate for the party. But spokesperson for Nana Akufo-Addo, Mustapha Hamid says the allegations are just to give Nana Addo a bad name. According to Mr Hamid, Nana Akufo-Addo did not publicly make any such statement. “Nana never said in any of those meetings that he cannot work with Mr Yaw Amankwaa; never. I am saying that on authority because I was sitting beside [Nana Addo] throughout the meetings that we had in the Ashanti Region over the weekend.” “What Nana Addo said in Ashanti throughout… was about unity and how he has no problem with President Kufuor because people are alleging that he has problems with President Kufuor. This was the subject matter on which Nana spoke throughout the meetings in Ashanti,” he said. Story by Fiifi Koomson/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana *Evans Mensah contributed reporting
