Beleagured General SECRETARY of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, has dismisssed media reports that he has stepped down from his position.

Mr Agyepong told Peacefmonline.com moments after a hoax resignation letter purportedly signed by him went viral that it will be a tough fight for party activists desperate for that particular piece of information to be a reality.�

An excerpt of the hoax letter copied to Peacefmonline.com reads: �It is extremely heart-breaking and deterring to learn that my own colleagues take to the media to belittle the General Secretary of their own Party. I do not regret any decision I have taken since I was elected as General Secretary as all decisions have been in the interest of the Party. However, I cannot continue to serve the Party in my capacity as General Secretary�.

But Mr. Agyepong maintains that "I'm still at post...I'm going to fight and stay ��I'm a public officer, I earned my position and I intend to see out my mandate,� he said.

He challenged those behind the release of the hoax letter seeking his resignation to use the processes as prescribed in the constitution �rather than by going behind the party's constitution.

�If there are people in our party who want to push for my removal, there are constitutional procedures that they should follow. None has been followed. What has been happening around the country is an illegality, it is shameful, it should never have happened because that is not what our constitutions prescribes for us�, he said.
