The former General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Nana Yaa Jantuah, has expressed her disappointment at the lack of recognition for her contributions and sacrifices within the party.
She revealed during an interview on TV3 Newday with Berla Mundi that despite her efforts, it was disheartening to witness a lack of support from some members of the party.
Addressing financial challenges faced by the CPP, Nana Yaa disclosed that she personally sought assistance from her family, including her mother and siblings, to alleviate the party’s financial burdens.
She emphasized that the notion of her involvement with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) or the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for financial gains was unfounded, asserting her commitment to obtaining support from her family’s resources.
“If they see me talking to somebody or they say, that person has given me money through NDC, do you get me everything that it is as if you yourself, you can’t do anything, that you can’t work, you don’t have family. Look, Berla, I’m from a very prominent family and my daddy left us a lot of properties and my mummy worked very hard as a businesswoman. There are times I had to go to her because she sees it as a continuation of what my father did.
“And I go to my mummy sometimes to take money for the party. I go there, I go to my sisters, I go to my brother, I go to people who are around. I don’t go get money from any of the political parties and I know all of them,” she said.
Dispelling rumors about her affiliations, she clarified, “I don’t go get money from any of the political parties, and I know all of them.”
Nana Yaa Jantuah’s resignation from the CPP on December 6, 2023, followed a petition presented at the National Executive Council (NEC) calling for the voluntary resignation or removal of all national executives for alleged incompetence.
Subsequently, the party released a statement on December 5, 2023, announcing the dissolution of the entire national leadership and the formation of an interim council to oversee the party’s affairs.
