Greater Accra Regional Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Anthony Nukpenu, has stated that the former MP for Ningo-Prampram, Enoch Teye Mensah, is at the verge of being sacked from National Democratic Congress as a member.
According to Anthony Nukpenu, E.T. Mensah’s loyalty and commitment to the NDC party after the just ended election is in doubt, and as a result of his behavior, he could be removed from the party.
From Mr. E.T Mensah’s point of view, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawling who is a founding member exited the party because of the pervasive indiscipline and corruption in the NDC.
Speaking to 3FM, the former Ningo-Prampram legislator said “The story must be told. People cherish what President Rawlings [did], especially the former First Lady, and we should go and beg the former First Lady. It was messy, we should go and beg the former First Lady to come back.â€
However, responding to E.T Mensah’s plea on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme yesterday, Mr. Anthony Nukpenu said the NDC party don’t need Mrs. Rawlings
“We are a moving train. As we move, some will get down, others will join, and so that call to go and beg somebody to come back is a very negligible call, very irrelevant, and has no bearing on the cause of the NDC.
“As we speak, that person who made the call could be suspended from the party if care is not taken. Let me emphasize, that person making that call to go and beg whoever to come back, I am telling him that if he does not take care he would be suspended from the party.
“As it stands today, I cannot vouch for his loyalty and complete commitment to the NDC’s advancement for the next elections. If you are alive today and your loyalty and commitment to the party is questionable, you think we will sit down and look at you?
“NDC is now in opposition. We are in introspective mood looking for a surgeon that will diagnose us in the theatre and we are expecting leaders who have led this party in their respective regimes as ministers and members of parliament to be committed to that cause but they are making divisive comments, comments that do not help the unity of the party.â€
