NPP made you who you are; but you’re spitting on the face of the party — Mustapha slams Appiah-Kubi

According to GhanaWeb, Salam Mustapha, the National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has openly criticized former Asante Akim North MP, Andy Kwame Appiah-Kubi, for defying the party’s instruction to stay off Media General platforms. Mustapha expressed disappointment over Appiah-Kubi’s repeated appearances on TV3 and other outlets under Media General, despite an official party directive to avoid engaging with the media house. The party’s decision, communicated through its Director of Communications, Richard Ahiagbah, stemmed from concerns over biased reporting and alleged unfair representation of NPP members during panel discussions.

In a Facebook post on April 12, 2025, Mustapha stated that the party arrived at its decision after lengthy discussions and repeated attempts to address its grievances with Media General’s management. He emphasized that the directive was not issued on a whim, but was a considered response to ongoing issues. He criticized Appiah-Kubi’s actions as not only disobedient but also a direct challenge to party unity, likening it to undermining the efforts of the collective leadership.



Mustapha highlighted that as a former youth leader and MP, Appiah-Kubi should set a better example, especially during a period when the party is focused on rebuilding and reuniting. He stated that; “All these are known to you senior, yet for some strange reasons, you still make appearances on the platform. Senior, if I say it’s disrespect to the party, it’s an understatement.

It’s spitting in the face of the party. “Senior, this party made you Hon Andy Appiah-Kubi, you have been youth leader like me and an MP etc.” Mustapha also drew a comparison with the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which he said effectively enforced a similar boycott against Despite Media, with complete compliance from its members.

He questioned why the NPP could not achieve the same level of unity, pointing to Appiah-Kubi’s actions as a potential source of division. He urged party elders to lead with integrity and caution, reminding them of the long-term impact their conduct could have on younger members and the party’s future..
