“Crusade against reform…P.V.Obeng victimised”, says the Dispatch in a lead headline. The accompanying story says that Mr P.V Obeng is someone who will soon feel the pressure arising from his perceived support for the Reform Movement. The paper says the Ghana Cement Manufacturing Company (GHACEM) is caught in the middle of these pressures. The Dispatch quotes sources close to GHACEM as saying that the company has been advised to vacate a house at North Dzorwulu in Accra, which it rented from Mr Obeng to be used as a guest house. According to the paper, this is part of what GHACEM has to do to purge itself of rumours that the company is funding the Reform Movement. Besides, GHACEM management had to pressurise Mr Winfred Osei-Wusu, who joined the company in 1981 to resign Mr Osei-Wusu was former deputy propaganda secretary of the NDC and now the national propaganda secretary of the Reform Movement. The Dispatch says GHACEM sources indicated that the company was asked to sack Mr Osei-Wusu, but they could not do that. But what management did was to let him “publicly renounce his association with the Reform Movement”. Mr Osei- Wusu is reported to have refused to budge. He was then advised to resign which he did.
