Stephen Ayesu Ntim<\/strong><\/p>\n The National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Stephen Ayesu Ntim, has demanded of party members and supporters to consider what will be in the interest of the grouping even as he put it \u201cwe must sacrifice our personal and individual interests.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking during the launch of a commemorative book on the late Baffour Osei Akoto last Wednesday, he said that \u201cit is in the general interest and progress of the Party that our individual and collective welfare may be found.\u201d<\/p>\n Some matters, he noted, can be resolved amicably \u201cif we prioritise the collective good of the Party and its goals. The need for amicable solutions to our challenges in the Party is more crucial now than ever, given the herculean task of our commitment to breaking the eight.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Mr. Ntim, the NPP can best break the eight \u201cif we bear each other\u2019s burden, forgive each other when we are offended, and work diligently to support the government\u2019s efforts to ameliorate the plights of the Ghanaian people and get them to appreciate the immense progress being made in the country under this government.\u201d<\/p>\n Looking at the bigger picture, he said that there are enormous examples of selflessness, patriotism and vision that Okyeame Baffour Akoto and many of our forebears exhibited, which he added \u201cwe are happy celebrating Baffour Akoto\u2019s memory today.\u201d<\/p>\n During their time in the pre and immediate post-independence era, he recalled \u201cthe political situation in Ghana was quite stormy. Those days one could be cast into prison without knowing their offence, courtesy of the notorious Preventive Detention Act. People like Baffour Akoto could have remained comfortably in the palace and let the politicians do their so-called dirty politics. He instead chose the more challenging option of helping to salvage the situation to secure true democracy for the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n The philosophy and principles that Baffour Akoto, JB Danquah, SD Dombo, KA Busia, and several others of our tradition espoused, he went on, have now become the foundation of our democratic society, which have been deepened by the tremendous leadership of\u00a0 JA Kufuor and which are being continued by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as presidents of the Republic.<\/p>\n The memory of people like Baffour Akoto must be a lighthouse that beckons us to navigate towards patriotism for national development, he said.<\/p>\n By A.R.
