The Convention Peoples Party (CPP) is calling on the media to desist from granting interviews to two of its interdicted officers, Nii Armah Akomfrah and Ernest Kofi Yeboah.

According to a statement issued by the party, “the status of the said officers is in abeyance, on account of ongoing disciplinary proceedings involving them” -and thus finds it disturbing as the media continues to grant the said officers interviews on matters concerning the CPP.

Below is the full statement:

MEDIA RELEASE

Our attention has been drawn to the fact that a section of the media has been granting interviews to our two interdicted officers, Nii Armah Akomfrah and Ernest Kofi Yeboah, in connection with official matter of the Convention People’s Party (the Party).

The Party finds this development very disturbing, given the fact that the status of the said officers is in abeyance, on account of ongoing disciplinary proceedings involving them.

We hereby wish to entreat the media to desist from entertaining the above mentioned persons for purposes of interviews involving the Party.

The said officers are also encouraged to desist from making statements for, or on behalf of the Party, as that may undermine the Party’s Constitution.

It is our fervent prayer and hope that all media houses would channel their enquiries about the Party to the National Chairman and Leader or the Communications Director ( 0273464465) and any officer(s) designated by the Party for such purposes.

Issifu Kadiri Abdul Rauf CPP Director of Communication
