The Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo at a fundraising dinner in London has made it clear that the 8-year government of President John Agyekum Kufuor will play a major role in the quest for power in the 2016 elections.
According to him, aside the fact that they are heirs of the noblest political tradition in Ghanaian politics and the most durable which has survived deaths, detentions and exiles from the First Republic, NPP has emerged as the most formidable political party in the country with the clearest message of freedom, progress and prosperity.
Nana Akufo-Addo again charged his party faithful and sympathizers in London to be proud of the 8- year government of John Agyekum Kufuor as it has given Ghana the best government in the fourth Republic if not in the entire history of Ghana.
“We are not about to throw away this proud heritage and no machinations are going to weaken us. The election is there for us to win; the NDC government has nothing to campaign on. The President can go on shouting that they have not borrowed too much, it will not change the fact that Ghana is drowning in debt,” he stated.
He, however, made a clarion call on the NPP members to carry the message of the party everywhere and also to those who do not support the NPP to come on board to make a resounding change in 2016 for the NPP to take over the helm of affairs.
“This campaign is for all NPP members, NPP sympathizers and all those who want change in our nation. I know that often the unanswered, unmentioned, and unrecognized people who do the real work. Those of you who can, come home, please do but more importantly, let your monies do the work for you and I promise, I will not let you down,” he cried out.
To those who think NPP is not for power in 2016 election, Nana Akufo-Addo said, “the NPP is indeed all there, ready to take on the task of winning next year’s election and forming an honest government that will provide relief, progress and prosperity for the great suffering people of Ghana.”
