Hamid says he would like to see Mr. Agyepong back in the party because he is principled
The Information Minister Mustapha Hamid has appealed to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to appoint suspended general secretary Kwabena Agyepong a member of his government.
Speaking on Starr Chat Wednesday, Hamid told host Bola Ray that Mr. Agyepong is principled and assertive adding he would like to see him back in the party.
Explaining why he wants Mr. Agyepong to be appointed by the President, the Information Minister said “Kwabena Agyepong is the one that I have known closely…he is assertive, he is confident, he speaks well and he speaks his mind.”
Mr. Agyepong together with NPP national chairman, Paul Afoko and second vice chairman, Sammy Crabbe were suspended in November 2012 by the National Executive Committee of the NPP for some acts of indiscipline.
Despite calls by some members of the party to recall the trio, they remained on suspension and played no active role in the party’s victory in the December 2016 elections.
John Boadu has been acting as the party’s general since Mr. Agyepong was suspended in 2015.
