The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Deputy General Secretary says he will quit politics if the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) gets another shot at governance.<\/p>\n
Nana Obiri-Boahen told Evans Mensah on Joy FM\u2019s Top Story Thursday the NDC has fallen out of favour because of the many corrupt practices it engaged in while in office.<\/p>\n
The private legal practitioner in a rather bold declaration said: \u201cI will quit politics if NDC comes into power again.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said the NPP is aiming higher so that it will be in power beyond the eight year period.<\/p>\n
Nana Obiri-Boahen was reacting to comments by some senior members of the NDC that the party might come into power if it is able to solidify its ranks.<\/p>\n
The NDC is marking its 25th Anniversary in June and several activities have been planned to observe it.<\/p>\n
At the launch of the Anniversary, Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin told the gathering the NDC has the \u2018men and women\u2019 more than the NPP does.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have few lawyers who are only good at writing,\u201d he said, adding the party might come into power if there is a good system of apprenticeship which will enable the youth to learn from senior members of the party.<\/p>\n
Mr Bagbin reiterated the need for party functionaries and members to be united ahead of the next election.<\/p>\n
He also urged members to fall back on the principles upon which the NDC was established in 1992 \u2013 probity, justice and accountability.<\/p>\n
NDC National Organiser, Kofi Adams said the senior members’ call for \u2018Sankofa\u2019 reflects the concerns of all the members of the party.<\/p>\n
Although he believes they have not departed from the core values and principles of the party, he believes \u201cour small meetings\u201d have been replaced by social media.<\/p>\n
He also said the party\u2019s defeat at the 2016 polls comes as a wakeup call for them to deepen the comradeship in the party in order to wrestle the power from the NPP in 2020.<\/p>\n
But Nana Obiri-Boahen has ruled out a future NDC government in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cGhanaians are fed up with the greed of the NDC\u2026they can continue to wallow in their sheer pride thinking they enjoy support in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
