NDC national executives lacks moral right to demand money from us-Opare Addo

A former Chief Executive of Akwapem North Municipal Assembly under the immediate past John Dramani Mahama led National Democratic Congress administration George Opare Addo has warned the national executives of the NDC not to dare to demand any monetary contributions from the former government appointees.

According to him, the current executives of the party lack moral rights to demand funds from former appointees to run the party activities, barely two months in opposition.

He wondered why the Kofi Portuphy led executives would be asking for money to run the affairs of the party, when they have failed to account for the huge resources which was entrusted to them to be used for the 2016 elections.

George Opare Addo who was speaking on Oman FM Thursday regarding media reports suggesting that the NDC executives had demanded that each former appointee contributed 10 % of their ex-gratia to the party, warned that any executive who would attempts to call him would incur his wrath.

"Until they render a proper accounts of the funds they received and how they utilised the funds nobody can ask me to pay even one cedis," he stressed.

He accused the current executives of being the cause of the party's miserable performance in the 2016 elections.

He emphasised on the need for the party to go for early Congress to get all the current executives out of office.

This, he said, is to ensure that people with integrity are voted to run the affairs of the party.

"We need an early Congress to clean the party and put people with integrity there. As for those there now they don't have moral right to demand funds from anyone.

The visibly distraught former MCE indicated that the current executives do not deserve to continue to hold office because they do not have the party at heart.

Explaining why the NDC lost the elections, George Opare Addo intimated that many party's supporters who were catered for to travel to other parts of the country to cast their votes couldn't go, because resources meant for them were kept by the executives for their personal use.
