Managing Director of the State Transport Company (STC), Nana Akomea, has advised Alan Kyerematen, who has recently resigned from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), to focus on his solo mission and refrain from making unnecessary comments about the NPP and its flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Nana Akomea, who is also a member of the NPP's communications team, made this statement on Peace FM's morning show "Kokrokoo" on November 15, 2023. He was responding to criticisms from Alan Kyerematen directed at Dr Bawumia, who was elected as the NPP's flagbearer for the 2024 polls on November 4, 2023.

Alan Kyerematen, during an event organised by his 'Movement for Change' team in the Ashanti Region, asserted that there was no distinction between the Presidency and the Vice Presidency, implying that Dr Bawumia had nothing new to offer Ghanaians.

Nana Akomea described Alan Kyerematen's remarks as "blows" that were unnecessary and could provoke retaliation from the NPP. He said that Alan Kyerematen should respect his decision to go solo and leave the NPP and Dr Bawumia alone.

"If you have decided to go solo, it's okay. Nobody stopped you, though we wished you would come back to us. But these blows you are throwing at the NPP are unnecessary; if you do that, then someone also would have to respond to you, and it will look like we are also hitting at you. We don't want that, so we plead with him to stop it," Nana Akomea said.

He also urged Alan Kyerematen to communicate his message and vision for Ghanaians through his movement, rather than attacking the NPP and Dr Bawumia.

"We plead with him to focus on his activities. He should concentrate on his message and vision for Ghanaians…He should leave the NPP and our flagbearer alone so that we don't also retaliate in like manner. He should do his campaign in peace," Nana Akomea added.

Alan Kyerematen, who was initially part of the NPP contest, resigned from the party after placing third in a super delegates election held to reduce the number of contenders from 10 to five.

He accused the party's leadership of manipulating the electoral process in favour of the vice president. He then formed his own movement, which he said was aimed at bringing change to Ghana.
