I enjoy his company. If the party would consider me for the position of the Deputy General Secretary, in all sincerity, I\u2019ll root for him\u201d said Nana Obiri Boahen. \u201cHe has accommodated me as a friend, senior brother, and colleague. It is not good for me to make this disclosure at this time\u2026 but he\u2019s one particular person that I\u2019m praying to God that he retains his position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The National Executive Committee (NEC) of NPP in September 2015 upheld the decision of the Disciplinary Committee to suspend indefinitely Kwabena Agyapong, along with the National Chairman, Paul Afoko; 2nd Vice Chairman, Sammy Crabbe, for working against the party\u2019s chances of winning the 2016 elections.<\/p>\n<p>Then National Organiser, John Boadu was given additional responsibility as the acting General Secretary following the suspension of Mr. Agyepong. According to Nana Obiri Boahen, Mr. Boadu\u2019s level of communication and humility as an Executive of the party has been splendid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome may deliver than him but in my candid opinion, I pray he wins. He corporates with me. I have worked with a lot of people in this world but my relationship with him is superb,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/players\/9r2prOGX-GtVgZhNx.html\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\" allowfullscreen=\"\" style=\"position:absolute;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 49 updated by: -1 --><\/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 Monday, 5 March 2018 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2018-03-05 play videoNana Obiri Boahen speaking on &#8217;21 minutes with KKB&#8217; Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen has declared his support for John Boadu in the General Secretary race of the party.
