The flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo, this afternoon addressed party faithful and the nation in an attempt to calm the waters of acrimony and violence that has engulfed the party.
The NPP has been in a state of intense disagreements in recent weeks, over the alleged role of chairman Paul Afoko and General Secretary Kwabena Agyepong in the death of the deceased Upper East regional chairman Adams Mahama.
This has led to more disagreements and more clashes, none of which is casting the party in any sort of good light. Akuffo Addo’s statement is the attempt to stop the madness and get the party back to the level where Ghanaians feel they’re a viable alternative to the current clueless, corrupt, and incompetent tenure of the NDC.
In his speech, the flag bearer called for a cease fire between all factions within the party. He said the violence tarnishes the memory of the late chairman, and calls on law enforcement to deal with the culprits.
Most importantly, everyone should remember the party has an election to win in 18 months time. This is not the time to be divided.
