The opposition New Patriotic Party has dismissed claims it betrayed its own financier and Member of Parliament for Assin North Kennedy Agyapong.
Head of Communications of the Party Nana Akomea told Joy News such comments are misplaced.
He was reacting to the Assin North MP who chided the NPP for betraying him in his times of trials.
Kennedy Agyapong told Adom FM, the NPP is not worth dying for, accusing former Information Minister Oboshie Sai Coffie, Executive Director of the Danquah Institute Gabby Asare Otchere Darko and Nana Akomea of masterminding a plot to ostracize him when he was arrested for making inflammatory comments.
Mr Agyapong is facing charges of treason, terrorism, and attempted genocide for his ethnocentric comments and a war declaration he made on an Accra radio station.
He said the comments were in defence and support of the party, but that he had been hanged out to dry by the same party he has supported and financed.
But Nana Akomea said he is surprised at the utterances of the Assin North MP.
He said the party had supported Kennedy Agyapong all the way through during his arrest and prosecution.
He said on the day Agyapong was arrested he, together with the party chairman, and other leading party members were present at the Police Head quarters to show their solidarity.
Nana Akomea recounted how party loyalists, party lawyers besieged the court premises to support him during the trial.
That he said could not be described as a party hanging its own member to dry.
He reiterated however that the party was not worried and did not support the intemperate language used by Mr Agyapong in his infamous war declaration, a position he said the party still maintained.
