Prophet Ebenezer Adarkwa Yiadom, popularly known as Opambour, founder and leader of Ebenezer Miracle Worship Center, has lashed out on the NPP over the circumstances leading to the exit of Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen from the party.
He says the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which without the Ashanti region is “nothing”, did not treat the former flag bearer aspirant who is a son of the region fairly.
The Prophet of God believes it would have been in the interest of the NPP to give Mr. Kyerematen the nod to lead them into the 2024 electi ons, rather than maltreating him to part ways with the elephant family.
Prophet Opambour has also exhibited lividity over the four persons who were expunged from the NPP for supporting Alan Kyerematen and the Afafranto Movement.
Speaking on his TV channel, Prophet 1 TV, Prophet Adarkwa Yiadom reminded the NPP their political fate in the country without Asanteman.
“I learnt Alan is an Ashanti and comes from Ejisu so why didn’t they give him the seat (flag bearer of the NPP)? Because they know that without Asanteman NPP is nothing. His status in the party and country would have helped them so that Asanteman too would shine and be glorified.
“So if such a person is denied the seat with his cronies suspended from the party it means a lot. This sends a signal to the Ashanti region about whom to vote for in the 2024 elections,” the man of God indicated.
Background
Alan Kyerematen announced his decision to withdraw from the NPP and unveiled his new ‘Movement for Change’ that will enable him to contest as an independent candidate in the 2024 elections.
Also, the NPP executive body announced that memberships of some of its members who flouted the party’s constitution by supporting the candidature of other aspirants outside the party were no longer valid.
These individuals include Hopeson Adorye, Nana Ohene Ntow, Boniface Abubakar Saddique, and Yaw Buaben Asamoa.
According to a statement by the party, dated November 20, 2023, and signed by its General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, it said the above individuals had publicly endorsed the candidature of a person other than the party’s duly elected presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
“In line with these constitutional provisions, it is the view that the NPP that Hopson Adorye, Nana Ohene Ntow, Boniface Abubakar Saddique and Yaw Boaben Asamoa have Automatically forfeited their membership of the party. They are, therefore, no longer members of the party,” part of the statement read.
