They are trying to sabotage me because am becoming a powerful figure within the party. – Henry Quartey

Henry Quartey, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, has unveiled a plot by some members of the governing New Patriotic Party to make him unpopular.

According to Henry Quartey, meetings have been held among some members of the party in the Greater Accra Region to sabotage him.

The decision by the persons he calls ‘detractors’ is due to their concerns he is becoming a powerful figure within the party.

Quartey warned those elements to desist from such activities as it has negative repercussions on the collective interest of the party.

He warned that the party’s ‘break the eight’ could remain a mere slogan if they do not put their acts together and work in the interest of the party. “We sit here and say, break the eight, break the eight, and you are holding meetings among yourselves to bring somebody down. I am sad today and I will explain why. When the President gave me the position to be the Regional Minister, he among other things wanted me to be able to unite the party at the grassroots. That I have been doing, and so I thought, people, will stop speaking behind our backs.
