A Deputy General Secretary of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Koku Anyidoho has stated that his party is in the process of reviewing its relationship with the pro-New Patriotic Party (NPP) Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA).
Mr. Anyidoho said, the NDC can no longer stomach the biased manner in which the IEA was conducting its affairs – in support of the ‘regime change’ agenda of the NPP.
Speaking specifically about the recent platform created by the IEA to allow the likes of Professor Kwesi Yankah, Kan Dapaah, Catholic Bishop Palmer Buckle and other NPP operatives to label the Presidency as a “resting place” for corrupt officials, Koku Anyidoho said, the party was no longer going to sit idly by, to allow the unacceptable conduct of the IEA to continue.
“We have met as Executives of the NDC and, we are seriously reviewing our relationship with the IEA,” Mr. Anyidoho stated.
“If the IEA wants to support the NPP, we don’t have a problem with that. But we shall not continue to support any agenda that is aimed at destroying the NDC,” Mr. Anyidoho added.
“Don’t forget that the NDC was forced to cut ties with the CDD for that group’s anti-NDC stance: the IEA must know that we have the capacity to fight our battles and win,” he pointed out.
It would be recalled that the General Secretary of the NDC, Mr. Johnson Asiedu-Nketia, did not take it lightly when he was not allowed by Bishop Palmer Buckle to contribute at the IEA’s recently-held forum while the NPP agents were given a field day to peddle falsehood about President Mahama and the Presidency.
