Former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has strongly criticized the General Secretary of the opposition  New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, over what she perceives as an attempt to silence her.

In a fiery response following her referral to the party’s Disciplinary Committee, Adwoa Safo questioned why she should be restricted from speaking when the General Secretary himself embarked on a media tour to defend his position after the party’s electoral setbacks.

"Who is the NPP General Secretary to tell us not to speak? When he was doing a media tour from radio stations to TV stations explaining himself after our defeat in order to gain solidarity from party executives to maintain his position, who questioned him?" she fumed.

She insisted that no one could silence her and cautioned the party’s leadership against allowing external influences to manipulate the General Secretary ahead of the party’s upcoming elections.

"Nobody can shut my mouth not to talk. The General Secretary should know very well that he has an election coming and must not be allowed for people to manipulate him," she asserted.

Adwoa Safo’s comments come in the wake of her referral to the party’s Disciplinary Committee following her recent interview on JoyNews, in which she made remarks about her treatment within the NPP.

The decision to summon her has sparked internal debate, with some party members, including Mpraeso MP Davis Opoku Ansah, calling for a more understanding approach rather than punitive measures.

The NPP leadership is yet to officially respond to Adwoa Safo’s outburst, but her remarks highlight growing tensions within the party as it prepares for the 2024 general elections
