NPP is a disorganised party — Kofi Adams
The National Organiser of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Kofi Adams, has said the death of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP’s) Alhaji Adams Mahama shows the escalation of irresponsibility in the opposition party.

Mr Adams believes the murder of the Upper East regional chairman of the NPP is a testament to the fact that the party is a disorganised group of people.
Consistent with the refrain of members of the governing party since the tragic incident, the national organiser listed a litany of incidents he said exposed the NPP for what it had become — a group of violent people.
Mr Adams was talking about the death of Alhaji Mahama on Joy FM and MultiTV’s news analysis programme, Newsfile, on Saturday.
Acid was poured on Alhaji Mahama by two assailants on Wednesday and later died on Thursday morning at the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital.
The motive for the murder is yet to be ascertained but only the week before, there had been a violent confrontation in the Upper East Region, which resulted in the scuttling of a planned meeting between the party chair and general secretary and other regional executive members of the party.
Alhaji Mahama had indicated he was not aware of the planned meeting and wondered why the two national executive members would organise a party meeting in his region with his executive and would not inform him about it.
Mr Paul Afoko and Mr Kwabena Agyepong were said to have lodged an assault complaint with the Upper East police but also indicated that Alhaji Mahama was well aware of the meeting.

The controversy caused a bit of a stir in the party until Wednesday night's acid attack on Alhaji Mahama.
One of the two suspects, Gregory Afoko, who is said to be a brother to Paul Afoko, is in police grips.
The news about the death of the party chairman has left many shocked and has also led to some attacks, especially in the Upper East Region.
NDC’s Adams said the kind of fate suffered by the late chairman “is a drawback on our forward march to democratic consolidation.”
