Alhaji Mohammed Sani believes Mr Afriyie-Ankrah is the best bet to succeed the incumbent Johnson Asiedu Nketia.

His conviction, he noted, on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen stems from the former Director of Elections’ experience and performance he has demonstrated over the years.

“I am for Afriyie-Ankrah and I will stand solidly behind him. I have worked with him and know what he can do so I have a strong hope he will deliver,” he touted.

The race for the position is getting hotter as party stalwarts continue to declare their interest in the election slated for December 17, 2022.

The incumbent Deputy Secretary, Dr Peter Boamah Otokunor, has made public his intent to contest for the position and succeed his boss, Asiedu Nketia.

Former Ketu South MP, Fifi Kwetey who also believes he has what it takes to lead the party into victory in 2024 has also expressed interest in the position.

However, Alhaji Sani maintains Mr Afriyie-Ankrah is his prefered candidate, adding his choice is based on the assessment of the current executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

“I believe Afriyie-Ankrah is the one who can face the NPP squarely and I agree with him on a lot of things,” he added.

The incident, which occurred on Monday, according to Alhaji Sani, does not speak well of the NDC and must be condemned in no uncertain terms.

The group, which identified itself as eagle eye, forcefully entered the 3rd-floor office of the Deputy General Secretary, Barbara Serwaa Asamoah and removed a prepaid metre.

Reacting to the incident on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, the former Ashanti Regional Vice Chairman questioned the rationale behind the action of the group.

“They are jokers and their action is uncouth and disgusting. What is the meaning of what they did? What if another group pops up to retaliate is it not violence and chaos that will erupt?” he quizzed.

To Alhaji Sani, these persons are nation wreckers who do not have the interest of the party and nation at heart.

“I don’t know the members of this eagle eye; they are latter-day saints and I think this group has been set up to harass people during the election. I suspect there is someone behind the group and is a nation wreaker,” he said.

He stressed the incident is a worry and the need for the party leadership to probe.

“If they think there has been any wrong doing, they should use the party structures and due processes. We must investigate this and let the perpetrators be dealt with,” he admonished.

Also, he urged Barbara Asamoah to file an official complaint with the party and proceed to the police because her life has been threatened and it is dangerous.
