According to him, Akufo-Addo’s decision not to seek review on the
dismissed petition which challenged the legitimacy of President John
Mahama should be respected by all members including the party's National
Leadership.
Dr. Wereko-Brobby was reacting to the National Executive Committee’s (NEC) defiance of Akufo-Addo’s position.
The NPP has set up a three member committee made up of former
Attorney-Generals, Papa Owusu Ankomah, Joe Ghartey and Ayikoi Otoo, to
review the August 29 ruling of the Supreme Court .
There are suggestions that the NEC, which is the highest decision
making body in the NPP, may order Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia (second
petitioner) or party chairman Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey (third petitioner)
to file for a review if the committee finds it necessary.
But in an exclusive interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme on
Wednesday, Dr. Wereko-Brobby said a review of the Supreme Court
judgement is unnecessary.
He noted that confusion over whether to go for review or not should never arise among the leadership of the NPP.
"The debate [for review] must come to an end now because Nana
Akufo-Addo has conceded. We are in politics to provide leadership [but]
everything we are doing is failing to provide leadership; we are
listening to the sound of our boring voices" he bemoaned.
Tarzan as he is popularly called, said Jakes’s claim that a review will
depend on the findings of the three member committee cast a slur on
Akufo-Addo’s leadership of the NPP.
"I am surprised the chairman of the party will come out and say that
whether we decide to go for review or not will depend on the committee’s
study.Is Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey telling me that he will go against Nana
Akufo-Addo’s decision?" he quizzed.
Tarzan believes it is time the National Leadership of the NPP put the
court hearing behind them and rebuild the party structures ahead of the
2016 general elections.
