The recent fracas in the Convention People’s Party involving General Secretary Nii Armah Akomfrah and Youth Organiser Ernesto Yeboah, which led to their suspension, is part of a bigger plot to destroy the party and its flagbearer Ivor Greenstreet, a leading member of the party, Rhodaline Imoro-Ayana, has alleged.

“When I sit back now and look at the whole scenario, it’s like there is a ploy to run down the Greenstreet campaign by these two. I will not even mention Akomfrah because he has been mature enough to keep quiet. That is the way the CPP feels right now, that probably it is just a grand design to get the CPP down,” she stated on Class FM’s Executive Breakfast Show on Thursday August 4.

The two officers were suspended following what the party described as a breach of its disciplinary code after Mr Akomfrah and Mr Yeboah publicly contradicted their flagbearer’s position on President John Mahama’s Ford gift saga.

Ms Imoro-Ayana condemned the two for the acts that got them suspended and expressed unhappiness with the way the two handled their suspension. For her, they ought to have known better. “They have not handled the situation well. They could have, at least, given the thought that it is an election year and we need to be circumspect in what we say to the general public,” she said.

She, however, added: “Nii Armah [Akomfrah] has handled it better than Ernesto [Yeboah]. I talked to Ernesto and I thought that he would keep quiet because being in leadership means he sits in leadership and Central Committee meetings. He knows the constitution; that once you go into interdiction, you are not supposed to communicate with the media, so you do not go running the party down.”
