The Deputy Minister for Transport and Member of Parliament (MP) for Tema East, Titus-Glover has slammed the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for boycotting the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Delegate’s Conference last Saturday.
According to Mr Glover, the boycott is against the inter-party dialogue and friendship that has been built over time.

He asserts that inasmuch as the death of the former Vice President, Paa Kwesi Amissah Arthur is of great concern to the NPP, their excuses are flimsy and should not be entertained.
“The death of our former vice president is a worry to all of us but that shouldn’t have stopped them from coming to the event. They should have tried to make it. For you to absent yourself was very bad. It’s a shame” he said.
