Former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has firmly declared that no individual within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has the authority to remove her from the party, stating that her father, Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo, personally entrusted her to former President John Agyekum Kufuor for guidance and mentorship.
In an interview on Accra-based Okay FM, she alleged that the NPP, during its time in government, harboured animosity towards her due to her refusal to engage in corrupt practices.
She explained that she never intended to get involved in acts that upset Ghanaians. Instead, she made decisions she believed were in the nation's best interest.
She added that she refused to tolerate certain behaviours, which led to some individuals attempting to tarnish her reputation both within the party and across the country.
"I want the party to understand that I was not deliberately sabotaging it. Rather, I refused to partake in their corrupt practices because my father raised me to uphold integrity and avoid actions that would bring disgrace to him and the church. Since I chose not to conform to their corrupt ways, they sought to tarnish my reputation and remove me from the party. However, no one brought me into the NPP.
"…It was my father who personally took me to President Kufuor's office and said, this is my daughter. She has studied procurement law, so I have brought her to you. Therefore, no one has the authority to remove me from the party," she stated.
Speaking exclusively about the school feeding program she once supervised, she disclosed that former President Kufuor had genuine intentions for the initiative. However, some party members used it as an opportunity to enrich themselves.
"President Kufuor initially had noble intentions for the school feeding program, but over time, it turned into an opportunity that many sought to exploit. Have you considered the plight of these pupils? Many lack proper school uniforms, and some don't even have decent shoes.
"The meals they receive at school are already inadequate, and now you expect me to take away the little they have, leaving them even more deprived and malnourished," Adwoa Safo added.
