Their curses won\u2019t scare me; I think they don\u2019t have the party at heart because it doesn\u2019t speak well for a party like NPP\u201d he said on Accra-based Okay FM.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mr Boadu, the disgruntled members have no case because the they contested the elections and lost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe never removed their names from the register. They contested for election and lost and that is what they are refusing to understand\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the party will soon take the matter up and deal with such members to deter others from doing same.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand the chiefs in their town have taken the issue up and it\u2019s the same way we will also take it up and will also put measures in place to ensure that such issues are not entertained\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Boadu urged party members to use the right channels to resolve their grievances.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Twafohene of Awutu Traditional area, Nai Quashie Kwaley, is warning of dire consequences if a river deity invoked on the acting General Secretary of the party is not revoked.<\/p>\n<p>Nai Quashie says John Boadu has up to 7-days to revoke the curse invoked by aggrieved members of the party\u2019s Awutu Senya East constituency or face the consequences.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/players\/kvMvtoP8-GtVgZhNx.html\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\" allowfullscreen=\"\" style=\"position:absolute;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 62 updated by: 62 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Monday, 5 February 2018 Source: adomonline.com 2018-02-05 John Boadu, Acting General Secretary, NPP Acting General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) John Boadu has called the bluff of some disgruntled members of his party in the Awutu Senya East constituency in the Central Region who have invoked curses on him and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":409891,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-461548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=461548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461548\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=461548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=461548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=461548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
