A founder member of the opposition NPP, Dr Amoako Tuffuor, has expressed strong disagreement with Kwame Pianim who says the party’s series of boycotts of parliamentary work portray the NPP executives as confused people.
Mr Pianim who blames what he called “intellectual and mental laziness” of the party executives for the 2012 defeat told the Africawatch Magazine that the national executives should rather focus on rebuilding the party than backing boycotts.
The business economist and investment consultant is also calling on the party’s 2012 flag bearer and the NPP as a unit to be courageous in confronting their defeat and stop protesting the results.
He said Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP should fully respect and recognise President Mahama as the legitimately elected Head of State until the Supreme Court rules otherwise.
But Dr Amoako Tuffuor in an interview with XYZ News said Nana Addo’s court case couldn’t be more right.
“Nobody is taking the party for a ride, NPP has acted properly…if you are really a good member of the party, you come inside, you push for a meeting and attack from inside.
“I think in good faith, Akufo-Addo, Obetsebi Lamptey and Bawumia have acted properly,” Mr. Amoako Tuffuor said.
Kwame Pianim’s criticisms come just a few weeks after similar sentiments were expressed by another party stalwart Dr. Charles Wereko Brobby.
