“Paul Afoko has the party at heart.  Suspending him unlawfully was just to antagonize him,” he said.
“Some elements in the party dislike him and the majority leader, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu, is the one leading figure among them. He hates Afoko with passion”, he claimed.
It is hard to understand why he hates Mr. Afoko that much,” he said on Accra-based Okay FM and monitored by Adomonline.com.
Mr. Mensah-Bonsu, told  Nana Ansah Kwao on Joynews’ Personality Profile show that suspended NPP National Executives, Paul Afoko, Kwabena Agyepong and Sammy Crabbe didn’t like the candidature of then flagbearer  Akufo-Addo.
Out of the trio, he singled out Mr Paul Afoko for doing everything possible to scuttle the ambition of then-presidential hopeful, Akufo-Addo.

According to the Majority Leader, Mr. Afoko “bought his way” into the Chairmanship of the party with an agenda and a preferred candidate in mind and frustrated leadership of the party to the extent that he attempted to starve the party of funds for the primaries.
But reacting to the claims, the spokesperson dismissed the vote-buying allegations, saying Mr. Afoko won the election on merit.
He described the allegations as calculated to tarnish the image of Mr. Afoko.

He wants members of the party to desist from describing his boss as a suspended chairman and rather address him as a former chairman.
“Let me tell these NPP members and other people to stop addressing  Mr Afoko as a suspended chairman because in a normal sense, his time would have elapsed if he was still at post as chairman.
It’s best to address him as a former chairman,” he stated.
