Salam Mustapha (L) and Andy Appiah-Kubi (R) The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has launched a scathing attack on the former Member of Parliament for Asante Akim North, Andy Kwame Appiah-Kubi, accusing him of blatant disregard for the party’s directive. Mustapha criticised the former lawmaker and senior member of the party for his continued appearances on Media General platforms, despite the party’s official decision, as stated in a communique, to boycott the media house. The party had accused Media General of bias and unfair treatment towards them, particularly in the selection of panelists for its shows.
“I hope this finds you well. I want to convey to you the feelings of many party people with regards to your absolute disregard for the party’s directive on boycotting TV3 and Media General platforms. The party took this decision after an exhaustive deliberation and it was so communicated to the world by the director of communication for the party – Richard Ahiagbah.
“Subsequent to that, the party had made a number of complaints to management of the institution and pointed out our difficulties to them over unfair paneling amongst others. Therefore, it wasn’t a decision out of nowhere,” Mustapha posted in a Facebook post on Saturday, April 12, 2025. The politician questioned the basis and reasoning behind Appiah-Kubi’s disregard for the party’s directive, describing his appearances on the media station’s shows as “spitting in the face of the party.
” He added 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. In the adversity we find ourselves, it’s not time for personal glorification but how to rebuild our party up to task. It’s this same aggrandisement that led us into the ditch.
” Mustapha added that he could not understand why some members of the NPP are unable to follow the party’s directive. He compared this to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which successfully led a boycott of Despite Media, with all party echelons fully adhering to the directive. He questioned Appiah-Kubi, asking whether he considers himself wiser than the party members who deemed it necessary to make that decision.
“How’s it that Sammy Gyamfi is/was able to lead an effective boycott of one of the biggest platforms in this country, Kokrokoo on Peace Fm and everyone fell into line that we cannot? Why has everyone fallen into line except you? You’re bigger than all of us or wiser or some other reason that’s not known to us,” he said. He called on the party, particularly its leaders, to set examples that would be worthy of emulation by the younger members of the party, urging them to be careful not to set a bad precedent. “Let’s be conscious of the examples that we set for the younger generations coming up.
If our bad actions doesn’t destroy the party now, it may in the future. For the NPP, we in leadership would not have been known persons in this country. It’s incumbent on all of us to hold the party in good stead for others to also rise.
Let’s not encourage nonchalance in the party,” he concluded. Read his post below: MAG/AE Meanwhile, catch up on the concluding part of the story of Fort William, where children were sold in exchange for kitchenware, others, below:.
