There were representatives of other opposition parties who shared goodwill messages at the event, except for the NDC despite having being invited.
Explaining the absence of the NDC, Mr Nketia told Accra FM on Monday, 9 July that the party got the invitation very late.
According to Mr Nketia, after several failed attempts to reach then-acting General Secretary, John Boadu, who was elected substantive General Secretary at the conference, he personally conveyed the party’s inability to honour the invitation, to Dr Bawumia at the one-week memorial service for the late Amissah-Arthur.
“We have always been present at NPP functions over the years but this time the invitation didn’t come early,” he said.
He continued: “I had difficulty in accessing John Boadu on phone, he didn’t pick the calls. I also don’t have Freddie Blay’s contact and also the Eastern Regional Chairman of the NDC is sick, so, he couldn’t attend.
“So, when the Vice-President came to the funeral ceremony, I personally gave him the message that we cannot attend the event.”
Mr Nketia further stated that: “Deep within the NPP, they are happy the NDC didn’t come because they were scared of how I was going to reveal their mistakes to the entire world.” Read Full Story
