One of the NPP’s presidential aspirants, Boakye Agyarko has slammed the leadership of the party for handing Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen a raw deal during the final rally for the Assin North by-elections.
Speaking to Accra-based Citi TV, Agyarko expressed his disappointment over the incident.
This comes after Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and the rally organizers were accused of disrespecting Alan when Bawumia’s movement through the crowd disrupted the former’s speech.
Agyarko, a former energy minister who was present at the rally, confirmed that the incident did occur. He described it as a sad moment and stated that those who planned the event did the vice president a disservice.
“I was there, I spoke before Alan spoke and I was sitting next to Kennedy. It was a sad moment… It was a sad moment.
“And I think that those who planned this did the vice president a disfavour,” he said.
Agyarko advised the party’s leadership to refrain from engaging in activities that could lead to confusion and tensions within the party.
“I sensed situations of competition; you must restrain yourself from doing certain things because the propensity to exaggerate whatever little grievance is always there. So, you in your lucid moment must always restrain yourself as to what you should do and what you shouldn’t,” he said.
