Cools Heads Must Prevail Over Woyomegate Scandal-NDC Dep. Sec

Deputy Regional Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress has distanced the party from a group that dared president John Mills and party executives to protect embattled former Attorney General, Betty Mould Iddrissu.

Raymond Tandoh explains the group is not a recognized branch of the party and does not have the capacity to issue ultimatums and threats.

The Deputy Regional Secretary was reacting to threats on president Mills by some NDC pressure group in the region.

The Coalition of NDC Youth in Ashanti warned President Mills and the leadership of the ruling party to stay clear of the former Minister, Betty Mould-Iddrissu, in the wake of calls for her arrest.

The infamous Alfred Woyome saga took a new twist last week when a group loyal to former Attorney General, Betty Mould Iddrissu waded into the controversial matter in a brutal fashion.

The group, ‘The Coalition of NDC Youth in Ashanti’, threatened to chase party gurus like the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Kwaku Agyemang Mensah and seize undisclosed items that he has benefitted from Madam Betty.

They stated that the minister and some DCEs, NDC executives, NDC Women’s Wing and NDC Youth Wings in the region would suffer the shameful incident of having items such as cars, cash and clothes that they benefited from Madam Betty, seized from them.

The aforementioned persons and NDC groups have consequently been given a one-week ultimatum to openly go to the defence of Madam Betty in the Woyome financial saga to avoid being attacked.

However Raymond Tandoh says in these trialing moments the party finds itself, cool heads must prevail to protect party unity.

Tandoh also urged the embittered group to respect the rule of law as law enforcement agencies take steps to address the Woyomegate scandal.

Meanwhile Raymond Tandoh says the party will be meeting leadership of “The Coalition of NDC Youth in Ashanti” for peaceful resolution of their concerns.
