A popular activist of the New
Patriotic Party in the Ketu South Constituency, Peter Agblevor, and some fifty others have defected to the opposition National Democratic Congress, ahead of the December 7 polls.
Mr. Agblevor who was known to be
very critical and uncompromising to the National Democratic Congress in the
past, joined the party a few days ago, citing bad leadership, corruption,
favouritism and nepotism for his defection and that of the other 50 persons he
referred to as his boys.
The now NDC member and ‘his
boys’ have actively joined the campaign of the Ketu South NDC’s Parliamentary
candidate Dzifa Abla Gomashie.
At a recent community
engagement, where he made his defection publicly, Peter Agblevor further
indicated that his decision to exit from the ruling NPP is as a result of the
humiliation and targeted attacks people of Ewe origin had to go through during
the Voter registration exercise among many other issues.
“I was in class five when the
NPP party was brought to Ketu and since then, I remained one of the few who
have built it through the years. Unfortunately, there is nothing good with the
current NPP administration being led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The corruption is too much, the attack on people of Ewe origin is another issue
among others that have pushed me and my boys out of the party.”
For Peter Agblevor and his boys,
every good project in Ketu South was done by the NDC, a reason for which he has
joined the #MahamaAfa campaign to ensure that the party comes back to power.
As campaign activities continue
to heat up, Peter Agblevor has hinted that the NPP would have no fortunes to
make in Ketu South during the December 7 polls, since the NDC is with no
independent candidate this time round.
