NANA ADDO: NPP CAN’T BANK ON NDC PROBLEMS FOR 2012
VICTORY
Sunyani, May 8, Ghanadot - The
Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo, has advised members of the NPP not to take sides
in the ongoing power struggle within the ruling National
Democratic Congress but rather focus what they have to do to
secure the confidence of a safe majority of Ghanaians.
He was speaking on Saturday at the Regent Hotel in Sunyani
where he met Brong Ahafo regional NPP executives as well as
winners and losers of the NPP Parliamentary primaries, as
part of the “All hands on deck” nationwide tour.
“The NDC has shown that they cannot manage the affairs of
the country and yet they would like to hold on to power. We
cannot, as a party, rely on the problems going on in the NDC
because whoever they elect as their flagbearer, I say, the
value is the same. Leave them to fight their own fight. Just
observe and take useful notes”, Nana Addo noted.
He stressed the need for all members of the NPP to remain
united as “the party will need everybody to be able to win
the 2012 elections.”
Nana Addo called on newly elected NPP parliamentary
candidates to ensure that the entire membership of the NPP
in their respective constituencies were brought on board to
ensure the NPP presents a united front ahead of the 2012
general elections.
He continued that “what must concern us as a
party, is hard and smart work, and in unity, the Ghanaian
people will by the grace of God accept our good message and
vote us back to power in 2012.”
Nana Addo used the opportunity to congratulate all
aspirants, winners and losers alike, together with the
leadership of the party in the region and the various
constituencies for the matured and enviable conduct they put
up during the primaries and elections.
“The positive outcome of the just ended primaries, shows
clearly, that when myself and the national executives of the
party came to you before the opening of nominations, you
listened to our message and the result is the applause and
commendation that the party continues to receive daily, for
this novel achievement. Let us continue like this”, he said.
Nana Obiri Boahen, Nana Gabby Nketia, Prof Gyan Baffour and
Kwame Ampofo Twumasi were among the party’s big wigs who
were present at the function. The team later travelled to
Techiman to support Prof Christopher Ameyaw Ekumfi for a
funeral.
The 'All Hands on Deck' nationwide tour will
take the national leadership to all ten regions, to enable
them meet the respective regional and constituency
executives together with elected parliamentary candidates
and defeated aspirants.
The team includes the Flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo, National Chairman, Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey,
General Secretary, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, alias Sir John,
Campaign Manager, Boakye Agyarko, Head of the Party’s
Conflict Resolution Committee, Akosua Frema Opare and
