My wife\u2019s cousin is Nana Akufo-Addo\u2019s wife so why will I hate Nana Akufo-Addo. Who will it benefit? My daughter goes to their house, sits on Nana Akufo-Addo\u2019s laps, so, what are they talking about? When somebody is fighting against something you have to know the person. What I\u2019m fighting against has nothing to do with personalities. It is what I believe in. \u2026There is a cabal, there are people who believe they are above everybody and I think it\u2019s very unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further denied frustrating the party financially.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, I developed a system to be able to move in money, millions on a monthly basis, generate the kind of cash flows that you can even use to borrow money and do the things you want to do tomorrow too. So why would I want to frustrate the man [Akufo-Addo] becoming president? How is that going to profit me? It doesn\u2019t make sense. I may have my frustrations with certain things and I\u2019ll point it out. In meetings I never held back, I\u2019ll scream, I\u2019ll do what I want to do, I\u2019ll make my point but how? Why will anybody want to frustrate [Akufo-Addo]? Did anybody hear Afoko or Sammy Crabbe standing somewhere, saying, don\u2019t vote for Nana Akufo-Addo\u201d? He quizzed.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his suspension, Mr Crabbe has entered the chairmanship race of the NPP and belives he can unseat the Acting Chairman Mr Freddy Blay.<\/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>Politics of Wednesday, 21 February 2018 Source: classfmonline.com 2018-02-21 Sammy Crabbe, Suspended 2nd Vice Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Suspended 2nd Vice Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Crabbe, has denied working against the then presidential candidate of the party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as it has been alleged [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":453952,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-466283","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\/466283","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=466283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466283\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=466283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=466283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=466283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
