A former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Samuel Koku Anyidoho, has announced that he is now ready to get back into active politics in the party.
Anyidoho was sacked from the party in last year by NDC’s Functional Executive Committee (FEC) over misconduct.
A year on after launching verbal attacks on some party leaders, Anyidoho says he is ready to take what is his in the party.
In a tweet, he said “I am back full swing into active NDC politics and we shall not pay any ransom to those who have hijacked our party: we shall take what legitimately belongs to us.”
Expulsion
The party suspended Anyidoho following a petition by two registered NDC members complaining about his conduct which they viewed to be in breach of the NDC constitution.
The petitioners were named in the letter as Mr Mobarak Abdul-Karim, Oti Regional Communication Officer and Mr Eric Adjei, Bono Regional Deputy Communication Officer.
The petition was subsequently referred to the Party’s Disciplinary Committee for further action which led to Anyidoho’s expulsion.
Announcing the decision, General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah said in a statement that FEC considered the report and recommendations of the National Disciplinary Committee on the case of misconduct and “anti-party behaviour” brought against Mr Anyidoho pursuant to Article 48 (1) (9) (a) of the NDC cosntitution.
In a reaction, Anyidoho interpreted his dismissal from the party to the Biblical Joseph story when his brothers sold him into slavery.
“When Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery; they did not know they were selling him into his God-given destiny to become a Prime Minister in Egypt. What evil men mean for wickedness; God turns it around for good. I am a Son of God,” he tweeted.
In what seems like a reaction to the party’s decision to sack him on the basis of “misconduct and anti-party behaviour”, Mr Anyidoho in a series of tweets said he was focused on growing the Atta-Mills Institute, building the Asomdwee Park and flying high the legacy of former President John Evans Atta-Mills.
“My bible tells me that in all things, I should give thanks to God Almighty for His grace and mercies. I love Ghana,” he added.
