The suspended Second National Vice-Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Crabbe, has launched a scathing attack on members of the Akufo-Addo government.
According to him, about eighty percent of them are sycophants. Per the Merriam-webster.com, an online dictionary, a sycophant is “a servile self-seeking flatterer.”
“There are lots of sycophants around the president and the danger about it is that, it moves resources in the wrong direction. There are about 80% of sycophants around the President and with time, they will burnout like charcoal… Because it will come to a time when they will need people who can deliver,” he told Bola Ray Wednesday, January 10, 2018 on Starr Chat.
Mr. Crabbe who declared he is not scared of courting controversies also dismissed John Boadu as the acting General Secretary of the NPP.
According to him, that description is alien to the party’s Constitution.
“There’s nothing like that…in our Constitution,” he said. “It is better for people to shine their eyes, open them up and look at things…”
The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the NPP in December 2015 affirmed the decision of the party’s Disciplinary Committee to suspend its Second National Vice-Chairman, Sammy Crabbe and the General Secretary Kwabena Agyei Agyepong.
The decision to suspend the two was taken after members of the NEC held a crucial meeting on the matter at the party’s headquarters in Accra.
Long before the NEC meeting came to a close, some supporters of the party converged outside the party’s headquarters popping champagne in a jubilant mood, apparently in anticipation of the announcement.
Mr. Crabbe who dismissed his suspension as illegal headed for Court to get him reinstated but an Accra High Court dismissed his suit in 2016.
According to the judge, Justice Sir Dennis Adjei, the national disciplinary committee of the NPP has jurisdiction to hear and punish anyone who had been found to have breached some rules of the party.
Mr. Crabbe said despite respecting the court’s decision, he still held the view that his suspension is ridiculously illegal.
“I really do not believe that it should be allowed [their suspension],” he declared, saying, “First all, it is a very difficult thing to get elected as a national officer…going into the constituencies you meet people you look them in the eye, sometimes you ride rough, you go into people’s bedrooms, sleep rough, they look into your eyes, make promises to them and then you get elected. The delegates are not stupid. They look at you and elect and then you sit there. So, I just do not want to accept that people who have never been elected can just sit down and decide they would just negate the will of the people on the ground.”
When Bola Ray pointed out to him that he contested the decision in court and lost, Mr. Crabbe snapped, “It doesn’t really mean that it was right. It was wrong and we needed to put it out there.”

It is often good for such personalities to talk. It shows that they had an agenda and it failed. Link this talk to efforts being made by Kwabena Agyepong to be back as General Secretary and you realise how they think. Do you also see that this is also the time Mahama is lacing his boots back to lead the NDC? So Kwadwo Mpianim and Kwame Pianim are not sleeping. They have Crabbe and Agyepong to work as Afoko takes more interest in his brothers ail term
NPP SHOULD BE CAREFUL ABOUT THIS BOLA RAY GUY.HE HAS AN AGENDA AND IS ON THE PAYROL OF THE NDC.HIS NEXT INTERVIEW WILL BE AFOKO OR KWABENA AGYAPONG.PIMP BOLA RAY BE VERY CAREFUL.
Bola Ray, what is your agenda with the party???? Shameful indeed!!!
Ei, is Sammy crabbe still talking? You are irreparably irrelevant to the NPP now oh. We have moved on.
If delegates vote for you to hold a position ina party, they expect you to work hard, obey party rules and regulations and abide by the constitution all the time. If you become a 'mole' in the party , the same party structures will weed you out. John Boadu, who you don't respect as Acting Secretary won a massive election victory for the NPP in 2016. After sleeping rough and entering bedrooms for votes,you shot yourself in the foot. Now you are irrelevant to NPP. Why don't you join the NDC before it becomes too late for you?
Unrepentant soul! U never wanted him as president, u joined forces with the ndc to bring him down but u know u are not God! I know u pray Nana don't succeed but u will always be put to shame. The likes of this scumbag like Kwabena Agyapong and Afoko should stay away from the Npp!
You guys sabotaged AkuffoAddo to stop him from being president.if you ask me between a sycophant and a judas who do i prefer to work with.definiteiy not judas.
IGNORE THIS MAN. WITHOUT THEM THE PARTY IS PEACEFUL. PLS DELEGATES AND NEC DO NOT VISIT THESE TRIO ON THE PARTY AGAIN. AS FOR CRYING HE WILL BECAUSE THAT IS THE RESULT OF SELFISHNESS AND GREED.
Why should Bola Ray at all choose to interview this man? Why didn't he do that when NPP WAS in opposition? Nothing will help your John mahama and the ndc, nation wreckers will go one after the other for Ghana to move forward. Amen! Who is Sammy Crabbe to tell us John Badu is not the General secretary but who is? Heheheheheeee! John Boadu has taking us from opposition to power heheheeheheheee! You people thought Nana will never be president he is, and he is the President of the Republic of Ghana yea,yea,yea !!You people can neve be part of the Elephant family, saboteurs and nation wreckers.
