Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications team member, Hopeson Adorye, has disclosed that the party's General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, surprised him with a monetary gift in the form of a birthday present after his expulsion from the party.

Amidst laughter during an interview on Accra-based Okay FM, Mr Adorye shared, "On Tuesday, the General Secretary sent me money for my birthday." This revelation comes in the wake of Mr Adorye's dismissal from the NPP, announced by Mr. Kodua on the same day as Adorye's birthday, November 20, 2023.

Mr Adorye, who previously served as the Security Coordinator at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA), found humor in the coincidence of receiving a birthday gift from the General Secretary who had just terminated his party membership. The dismissal, which also affected former General Secretary Nana Ohene Ntow, as well as former Adentan and Madina Members of Parliament Yaw Buaben Asamoa and Boniface Abubakar Saddique, was attributed to their public endorsement of independent presidential aspirant Alan Kyerematen over the NPP's flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Despite the unexpected turn of events, Mr Adorye expressed a sense of acceptance, suggesting that the dismissal came at an opportune moment to complement his birthday celebration.
