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 flag-bearer, 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 presented 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 bigwigs who were present at the function. The team later travelled to Techiman to support Prof Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi for a funeral.
