The Eastern Region National Democrat Congress (NDC) has threatened to trigger the party’s disciplinary process against Mr. Antwi Bosiako Sekyere, Chairperson of the Regional Council of Elders, for touring the region in the name of the party but without the involvement of the regional secretariat.
The regional party issued a warning to Mr. Antwi Bosiako Sekyere, to suspend the tour or face its wrath.
It questioned the genuineness behind the tour in view of the fact that notifications are not sent out to the Constituency Executive Committees and yet branch executives and cadres are invited for engagements.
A statement signed by Comrade Cudjoe Adukpo, the Eastern Regional Secretary of the party indicated that Mr. Bosiako Sekyere and his group have so far visited Okere, Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Nkawkaw, Mpraeso and Abetifi constituencies.
The tour, he said, is alien to the Regional Executive Committee since no proposal has been communicated for the consideration of such activity.
“Moreover, the Eastern Regional Cadres Front, in an official letter to the Regional Secretariat, has denied knowledge of such programme.”
“Our checks from the National Secretariat also indicate the said tour does not have the endorsement of the party’s Functional Executive Committee,” the statement said.
The Eastern Regional Secretary expressed worry at the content of the messages being shared at the various engagements by Mr. Sekyere and his team and cautioned such communications have the potential to provoke others and create anarchy within the party.
“We are therefore calling on Mr. Antwi Bosiako Sekyere and his team to immediately halt the tour as same is brewing serious tension at the party’s base- the branch level.”
“As a senior party man who currently chairs the Regional Council of Elders, Mr. Antwi Bosiako Sekyere should be mindful of the fact that the party has structures and as such, shouldn’t embark on activities that undermine same,” Comrade Adukpo said.
He warned that the Regional Secretariat will be left with no other option than to trigger the party’s disciplinary process and other obtrusive actions to stop the team from further engagements if they fail to suspend the tour.
The secretariat, he said, is focused on re-organising the party in accordance with FEC’s directives, hence, will not condone any distraction and acts that may disunite the party’s base.
