Some executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Dome-Kwabenya constituency say Adwoa Safo’s apology does nothing to change the effect of her actions on the constituency.
The member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya who abandoned her post rendered a public apology for her conduct.
However, the NPP constituency Secretary for Dome-Kwabenya, Theophilus Larbi, described her apology as habitual, adding that her re-election as a parliamentary candidate for the next general elections could adversely affect the party’s chances in the constituency.
“If she has rendered an unqualified apology, who are we as humans to say we are not taking it, we have accepted her apology, but what does she want us to do for her after the apology? Probably, if she’s interested in the seat again, then what I will say as a constituency secretary is that we are sorry”.
“The reason being that we are the representation of the people in this constituency. The majority of the people say that if we bring Hon Adwoa Safo back, they will not vote for the party. And as a person and officer who means well for this party should listen, because we are delegates of this party.
“The majority of people are not happy about what happened. She has apologised, severally, but I’m sorry we have the men and women. As far as I’m concerned, it can no longer be Adwoa Safo. Dome Kwabenya cannot be represented by her,” he said.
He added that, residents are tired of Adwoa Safo’s repeated absence from Parliament and her lack of communication with her constituents. They believe that she has damaged the party’s reputation in the constituency and that she should not be re-elected as a parliamentary candidate.
