Justin Frimpong Kodua, the incumbent General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has become the target of what appears to be a calculated smear campaign designed to undermine his leadership and credibility as the party gears up for its next General Secretary contest.
Sources reveal a sinister plot involving the manipulation of Kodua’s public statements to discredit him in the eyes of party members and the general public. The latest involves remarks he made during radio interviews in the Ashanti Region, where he analyzed the reasons behind the NPP’s 2024 electoral defeat.
Kodua had pointed to widespread voter apathy among party members across all 16 regions as a major factor. He suggested that the unusual nature of this apathy could have spiritual undertones. Detractors have twisted this statement, portraying him as superstitious and ineffective.
The smear campaign extends to social media platforms such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and WhatsApp, where critics of Kodua have launched a barrage of insults. Some have gone as far as blaming him for the party’s electoral defeat, alleging that he orchestrated it.
Despite the attacks, Kodua continues to enjoy widespread support within the party. Many party members and supporters on social media have praised his calmness, maturity, and strong leadership.
Supporters have also highlighted his principled stance in Cabinet meetings, where he was known to challenge key decisions, even disagreeing with President Akufo-Addo on multiple occasions.
The campaign against Kodua is believed to be orchestrated by individuals affiliated with those seeking to replace him as General Secretary. Insiders hint at more schemes aimed at tarnishing his image and creating divisions within the NPP.
The development has sparked calls for unity within the party as it seeks to rebuild its image after the 2024 elections. Kodua’s supporters have urged members to focus on strengthening the NPP rather than engaging in actions that could damage its reputation.
