Embattled Deputy Director of Communications of the opposition New Patriotic Party [NPP], Perry Okudzeto, says he is not ready to quit the elephant family because he has been forced to go on leave by the party�s General Secretary, Kwabena Agyei Agyapong.
According to him, despite the obvious unilateral decision, he is unperturbed and will continue to serve the party as a genuine patriot.
Perry Okudzeto however expressed shock at the way and manner the decision was taken and communicated to him.
�I heard I was to proceed on leave last Friday�I thought it was just a rumor until the front desk personnel of the office [NPP Head Office] called me this morning [August 18, 2014] to tell me I have a letter. That was the official letter for my leave though the news has been in the media since last Friday [August 15, 2014],� he said.
According to a letter signed by the General Secretary of the party Kwabena Agyapong, Perry�s leave will take effect from Monday August, 18, 2014.
�You have accumulated leave for four years. However we are able to grant you two years leave. This translates into 40 working days,� the letter said.
�You are required to prepare your handing over notes and submit to the Ag Director of Finance and Administration,� the statement added.
But the immediate past Director of Communications in an interview with Asempa FM said that �I have been asked to proceed on leave [without any reason]��.
He however quickly added that �I will stay back and watch proceedings of the party�.
When asked whether he will resign from the party, he vehemently said �No. I will not quit NPP because of anyone. I am not perturbed.�
�I have worked with most of NPP�s chief scribes and have known them�and I know who Kwabena Agyapong is now,� he added.
