PRESS STATEMENT

The Women’s Wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ashanti Region, wishes to express its deep displeasure over the continued attacks by Prophet Isaac Owusu Bempah on the person and character of Hon. Dr. Nana Ayew Afriye, Member of Parliament for Effiduase-Asokore, and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party.

We wish to caution Prophet Owusu Bempah to steer clear of Dr. Ayew Afriye, whom he knows very well to be a peaceful, disciplined and non-violent leader.

As mothers and women of this party, we will not sit unconcerned while attempts are made to denigrate the personality and good name of our Member of Parliament, or that of our flagbearer, Dr. Bawumia. We will not tolerate it.

Dr.NNana Ayew Afriye

We further wish to remind Prophet Owusu Bempah that his calling is to the pulpit, and we urge him to focus on that calling rather than pursue what appears to us to be a wicked and unwarranted agenda against personalities of this party.

Ghana has enough genuine national challenges requiring the attention and prayers of the clergy; it does not need a Man of God who chooses instead to attack the character of citizens who have done nothing but serve their country and party with distinction.

As the Women’s Wing of the NPP in the Ashanti Region, we have full confidence in Dr. Bawumia and Dr. Ayew Afriye as two distinct personalities of integrity, good character and proven service to this nation.

No amount of unfounded attacks will shake that confidence, and we stand firmly behind both men.

We therefore call on Prophet Owusu Bempah to exercise restraint, respect the dignity of these two personalities, and desist from further conduct capable of denigrating their character.
