Dankwa Smith Butey known popularly as Chairman Butey has chided National Executives blaming Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the party’s failure in 2024 elections.
According to him, if they could not whip the former president in line when they knew his actions were costing the party, then they should shut up and not blame him for the party’s humiliating defeat.
For Chairman Butey, the national executives must take the blame for the party’s failure to break the eight because they were ineffective and incompetent at the job they were given.
“They claim Akufo-Addo made us lose but as National Executives when Akufo-Addo was doing the things that made us lose, what did you tell him?” he questioned.
He continued “You were silent and after what he did affected the party you come and blame him? The executives must accept that they made the NPP lose the election”.
He emphasized that the party leadership needed to take hold of matters because they brought the party to power and not leave it for Akufo-Addo who they now blame for the party’s defeat.
“We brought the party to power so if the person who was leading was going wayward and we could not whip him in line, then what kind of leaders are we? Please NPP members, vote against any National executive who will contest for any position,” he told Sompa FM in Accra.
