Drama erupted in Newtown yesterday as Henry Quartey, the former Greater Accra Regional Minister, expressed outrage over being publicly chased away from an official function.
In a fiery statement, Quartey compared his abrupt removal to the humiliation of “being sacked like a goat,” sparking shock and debate across political circles. Eyewitnesses report that the incident unfolded amidst tense exchanges with local organizers and security personnel, leaving the politician visibly angered and demanding explanations.
The incident has ignited speculation about internal conflicts within the ruling party’s ranks, with many questioning the reasons behind the controversial treatment of a high-profile political figure. Quartey himself condemned the action as disrespectful and unbecoming of public officials tasked with maintaining decorum.
Political analysts suggest that the Newtown episode could exacerbate existing tensions and highlight divisions in party structures, potentially influencing upcoming political alignments.
For now, Quartey’s dramatic comparison has captured national attention, underscoring a growing narrative of friction, authority disputes, and public confrontation in Ghanaian politics.
