The family of Stephen Ntim, a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has issued a statement requesting that he be excused from attending a party event due to his ongoing medical treatment. The family expressed concern that Ntim’s current cognitive dissonance and mental incapacitation would make it difficult for him to participate in the event, and they rejected the party’s decision to schedule him to chair the meeting as a violation of his human rights. The family urged the NPP party hierarchy to excuse Ntim from attending the meeting and any future events until his health improves.
This is the resolution from the recent extended family meeting. Common sense dictates that Steve, as a matter of urgency, be temporarily excused, not only from the rigors of active politics but from intra-party activities to make way for needed peace and solace and for concentration on the ongoing required medical treatment process.
The family learned of a circular from the Party Headquarters signed by its General Secretary about a convened party meeting to be held at Alisa Hotel on June 17th, 2025. We are concerned, deeply saddened, and object to the fact that Steve is scheduled to chair the event, although it is known to the party rank and file that he is indisposed and incapacitated to be in attendance, let alone chairing the function.
As with any human, even merely participating in such an event will not augur well for Steve due to his current cognitive dissonance and mental incapacitation for such a high-profile event at a time like this, not to even factor in chairing it, and we, the family members, reject this wrong move in the subtle backdrop of his personal human rights.
We, the family members of Stephen Ntim, trust the NPP party hierarchy and stakeholders to accordingly do the right thing and excuse Mr. Ntim from being a part of the impending meeting and in events of the near future, while his future plans, decisions, and considerations are under review and consultation. We thank everyone concerned.
