A founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has shared his views on the referral of Sarah Adwoa Safo, the former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, to the party’s disciplinary committee.
According to the veteran politician, Adwoa Safo should have spoken up about the difficulties and challenges she was facing, and communicated how things were not going well to the party’s leadership.
He continued by saying that if the party’s leadership had failed to listen to her, she should have proceeded to resign from the party rather than enduring such treatment.
“When she (Adwoa Safo) realised things were not going well, she should have come out earlier to talk about it and if the leadership failed to listen to her then she should have resigned,” he said on Joynews on March 23, 2025.
Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe highlighted a major issue among politicians, noting that many are afraid to resign when they realize things have taken a turn for the worse in their respective parties.
He pointed out that when the values and beliefs they once held within the party no longer align and the party has gone astray, they should have the courage to step away.
“That is the problem of the Ghanaian politician, we fear to resign.”
His comments follow the referral of Adwoa Safo to the National Disciplinary Committee of the NPP for further action, following her recent media engagements regarding party issues.
In a statement issued on March 20, 2025, and signed by the General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Kodua Frimpong, it was stated that Adwoa Safo’s recent media engagement violated the party’s directives.
This followed an earlier instruction from the party, which refrained its members from discussing internal party affairs in a manner that fosters negativity.
