No Portion of Oquaye Committee Report Has Been Released – Justin Kodua

The General Secretary of Ghana’s opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has dismissed as “totally fake” reports and quotes purported to be taken from a leaked copy of the party’s internal review committee report chaired by former Speaker, Prof. Mike Oquaye.

In a Facebook post, Kodua said the party had not disclosed any portion of the report to anyone, stressing that “only one copy” of the document exists — the same that was submitted to the NPP’s National Council through the National Chairman and General Secretary.

“The NPP has not disclosed nor released any portion of the Prof. Oquaye’s Committee Report to anybody, not even to any officially recognized organ of the Party,” he wrote.

The Oquaye Committee was tasked with reviewing the party’s performance following the 2024 general elections, which saw the NPP lose the presidency to President Mahama.

Recent days have seen snippets and alleged quotes from the report circulate online and on some media platforms, with claims of internal criticism and proposed reforms. But the NPP says these claims are entirely fabricated.

Kodua accused the opposition NDC of orchestrating the circulation of these alleged quotes to create confusion and damage the NPP’s image.

“All such quotes are, therefore, totally FAKE and should be completely DISREGARDED. It is thus not surprising that the originators and circulators of these mischievous statements/quotes are members or activists of the NDC,” he said.

He added that the NPP is still carefully reviewing the full contents of the committee’s findings, and that any future disclosure will be made only if it serves the best interest of the party.

“If after studying the entire content of the Report, the Party deems it necessary to disclose aspects… the same will be done having regard to the best interest of the Party.”

The statement comes amid increasing scrutiny over the NPP’s post-election strategy, as it prepares for internal reforms and a possible comeback in 2028.

“Their strategy will not detract us from focusing on rebuilding our Party to recapture power in 2028 and beyond,” Kodua affirmed.
