The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has cautioned the rank and file of the party to desist from making any sensitive statements against Nananom.
The General Secretary of the party, Justin Frimpong-Kodua, who gave the admonition at the press conference at the party Secretariat, in Kumasi yesterday, said the party has history, tradition and ideology, which spans from the UGCC, NLM, UG, UP, PP, PFP and currently NPP era, and that its history has been supported by the good people of Ashanti region.
The party Scribe explained that as a result of this background, the party holds undiluted respect for the Asantehene and Nananom, hence the need for the rank and file of the party to desist from making uncomplimentary statements.
Mr. Frimpong-Kodua, who was obviously reacting to alleged unsavory remarks by the Ashanti regional chairman, Bernard Antwi-Boasiako recently, said no one has the right to go on radio and social media in general to make comments about Nananom.
According to him, the leadership of the party is on the ground to ensure that the respect for Nananom remains intact and ensures harmony.
The General Secretary, touching on development projects in the Ashanti region, emphasised that the NPP continues to hold the Ashanti region as a crucial component of the party and assured that ongoing projects would be duly commissioned.
He mentioned particularly that, the Kumasi International Airport would be commissioned for international flights by the close of the second quarter of the year, adding that contractors are on site to ensure that major projects like the Boankra Inland Port and the Maternity Block of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital are completed.
