A former Deputy General Secretary of the (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen, has waded into a request by the Ntim family for the National Chairman of the NPP to temporarily step down from all party responsibilities due to health concerns and the urgent need for rest and medical care.
Speaking exclusively to on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, Obiri Boahen shared the view that Ntim should have written a letter to permanently step down from his role so that another person could assume it, rather than taking a temporary break from his duties.
He said that such bold decisions can only be taken by individuals who are principled, making reference to himself and stating that it is the right thing to do. "Any principled politician like myself, Obiri Boahen, if I'm not well, I would have put in my resignation letter.
If he's not well and he thinks that it will affect his activities, even if I'm the president, I will resign.
