According to
him, the late Yaw Asiedu knew no peace in his work as elections director
as he was always pushed to the wire unnecessarily by some elements
within the party.
Such move by those people, he
argues was ostensibly to ensure the current crop of regional executives
failed in their mandate so that they could push them out of office in
subsequent elections.
Mr Allotey Jacobs
described such actions as diabolical and detrimental to party cohesion
and growth saying it was the major reason for the region’s poor show
losing a lot of parliamentary seats to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Speaking
at the week celebration of the Yaw Asiedu in Cape Coast, Ben Allottey
Jacobs affectionately called “the educated fisherman” opined that the
late elections director was unnecessarily accused and insulted by some
elements within the party especially during the party’s parliamentary
primaries when indeed such people did not have a shred of evidence to
back their accusations.
Such people he added
were afforded the platform to prove the allegation of rigging
orchestrated against them by the elections director but could not
provide evidence to back their claims.
He added
that these people didn’t eat humble their pie but still went on to
frustrate the work of the elections directorate with the gentleman being
denied the peace of mind to concentrate on his work for the party.
He
called on the saboteurs to bow their heads in shame saying the party
will find it difficult to replace the deceased elections director in the
party.
Mr Jacobs further described the late Yaw Asiedu as a hardworking, diligent, selfless and full of love for the party.
The late Asiedu died on the Winneba road on his way to Accra to submit the elections declaration form weeks ago.
