The youth wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the Young Patriots, has categorically stated that former Chief Executive of the Volta River Authority (VRA) Dr Charles Wereko-Brobbey has no place in the Party and that his ambitions regarding his stake in NPP’s 2016 election campaign, as revealed by his comments in the media, must be shelved.

In a statement issued by the Patriots on Friday, May 31, 2013, Mr Wereko-Brobbey, popularly referred to as Tarzan, ended his ties with the Party after founding the United Ghana Movement (UGM) to run for presidency in 2000.

Below is the full unedited statement:

The naked presidential ambitions of Dr Charles Wereko Brobbey was fully on display yesterday when he granted an interview to Citi fm to the effect that his stake in the NPP party is the 2016 elections. This ambition will not see the light of day and the earlier he shelves it the better for him.

First and foremost Wereko Brobbey is not a member of the New Patriotic Party and can therefore not claim to have a stake in the party. He may trace his ancestry through the great Victor Owusu of blessed memory but beyond that, he is a betrayal of the party’s ideology and principles.

His formation and his subsequent running as the Presidential candidate of the United Ghana Movement (UGM), marked the end of his association with the NPP. There is no record anywhere within the party books to indicate that he was formally readmitted into the party as required. The Young Patriots have checked and have found no record that Dr WWereko Brobbey is a card bearing member of the NPP let alone a member in good standing.

Thirdly, Dr Charles Wereko Brobbey, a supposed founding member and elder of the party cannot claim to have actively participated in the activities of the party since he miserably lost his ambition to be party chairman, for which he shamefully threatened to go to court but is yet to man up to. The party elders and executives have held several meetings and none of them has Dr Brobbey been present.

The Young Patriots wish to edge Dr Charles Wereko Brobbey to shelve any ambitions of becoming the Presidential candidate of the NPP because it will never happen in his life time and the Young Patriots will not even allow him near any function of the NPP. His continues maligning of party executives and especially his latest insults of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, whom he thinks he will be pitching against in 2016 is but a wrong attempt to seek attention.

We hereby caution him to lay of Nana Addo and Dr Bawumia. We urge him to wine and dine with his new found love, President Mahama and the NDC and leave Nana and the NPP alone. A word to the wise.
