NPP elements plotting to 'bring me down'; they say 'I'm becoming too powerful' – Quartey

Politics
Greater Accra Regional Minister Henry Quartey

Some plots are being hatched in the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) to destroy the Greater Accra Regional Minister Henry Quartey.

The ‘Let’s Make Greater Accra Work’ campaigner revealed the sabotage scheme when he spoke at the party’s Regional Delegates Conference in Accra on Thursday, 14 October 2021.

"We sit here and say, ‘break the eight’, ‘break the eight’ and you are holding meetings among yourselves to bring somebody down".

"I am sad today and I will explain why: When the President gave me the position to be the Regional Minister, he, among other things, wanted me to be able to unite the party at the grassroots. That I have been doing, and, so, I thought people will stop speaking behind our backs”, the Ayawaso Central MP said.

“But just last week, some people met and said ‘I am getting too much power in the region, so, they are planning to bring me down’. But when you do this, how do we break the eight"

"All I am doing is working for all of us. All we care about is our personal ambitions but let’s all realise that we have one agenda: To break the eight".

"Social media has become a platform for us to insult leaders of the party."

"We wash our dirty linen on social media and when people are cautioned, they will tell you ‘the party belongs to all of us’".

"There must be discipline in the party. If people misbehave, suspend them".

"We’re already in power and, therefore, any inaction or misbehaviour of ours will hurt our chances of retaining that power come 2024", Mr Quartey noted.

Mr Quartey has been on a decongestion and gentrification campaign in Accra since taking office.

 

Key among his achievements in that regard has been the relocation of onion sellers from the Agbogbloshie market to Adjen Kotoku.
