Sarah Adwoa Safo, the former Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya constituency has boldly tackled the New Patriotic Party General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong.
Adwoa Safo noted that the NPP General Secretary does not have the locus to shut her down.
According to Adwoa Safo, nobody brought her to the party, and the party was not for anyone.
She asserted that the General Secretary was also on the radio talking when it was her turn to speak he issued a statement.
Speaking on JOYNEWS, Adwoa Safo stated, “We all have the right to express ourselves, and that includes me. The General Secretary began speaking publicly after we lost the election, going around explaining the situation. He even went as far as telling people not to blame him for the loss”.
“And now, when it’s my turn to speak, a statement is being issued. What locus does he have to do that? He was on the radio himself, so if he wants to write a letter to me, he should do so privately. This statement is too vague, and I don’t think it’s something I need to respond to.”
She continued, “He [General Secretary] should go on social media and see how the party members are criticising him. He has an election coming up, and he shouldn’t allow himself to be manipulated or used for other people’s agendas. If your base is bitter and feels unheard, they would want someone to speak for them.”
“There has been a character assassination on me. I have been defamed by my own party. I owe it to myself to clarify things and set the record straight. Whatever they have painted me as to bring me down, is not the truth. I will make sure the truth is known.”
Meanwhile, New Patriotic Party (NPP) has dragged the former member of parliament for Dome-Kwabenya Sarah Adwoa Safo to its National Disciplinary Committee over her media ranting.
The NPP had earlier urged its members to desist from airing their dirty linen in public.
The party issued a directive to its members on Thursday, March 20, 2025. Signed by the party’s General Secretary, party faithful were urged to refrain from discussing internal party matters in the media that could lead to disaffection and unrest.
This comes in the wake of the party’s defeat in the recent elections, which has left many members expressing their frustration and disappointment publicly.
In a statement on Thursday, March 20, Justin Kodua Frimpong, General Secretary of the Party emphasized the need for calm and unity among members, citing the party’s Constitution under Article 10(7)(5), which mandates coordination of party activities.
“Let us uphold the values of the NPP and work together to rebuild a stronger party for the future,” the statement read.
In a follow-up statement the same day March 20, 2025, NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong stated that Adwoa Safo’s rants defy the NPP directives.
The statement stated, “As she is aware, the directive explicitly states that all party members must cease discussing party issues that create unrest, negativism, and disaffection in the media and other related platforms. Her actions are not only in disregard of this directive but also undermine the Party’s efforts to rebuild and move forward.
“As a former Member of Parliament, Former Deputy Majority Leader, and Former Minister of State under the erstwhile NPP government, she was expected to set a good example and adhere to the principles of discipline, loyalty and unity that have always defined our great party.
“Her failure to do so not only reflects poorly on her but also in contravention of Article 3(5) of the Party’s constitution, which, among others enjoins us to promote ar.d defend the good name of the Party.
“In breach of the above provision of the Party’s constitution and the directives issued earlier, Hon Sarah Adwoa Sarfo is hereby referred to the National Disciplinary Committee of the Party for rusher action”, the statement added.
