He had a great deal of respect for him and i\u2019m not surprised he advised my big brother Mr. Korku Anyidoho, the then Dep General Secretary not to contest him . <\/p>\n<p><!-- \/22191989129,1002554\/MGL\/mgl_ado_atunwa_300x250 --><\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cAgumenu inform Korku that I said, he should not contest the GS . He should rather maintain his position as Dep General Secretary \u201c, which I did . That\u2019s the position of President Rawlings on G.S Asiedu Nketiah.<\/p>\n<p>President Rawlings as philosophical as he was reinforced his likeness for the General Secretary through diverse political- satires<\/p>\n<p>As we face an uncertain future as a party going into 2024, we truly need a character of courage, and resilience to lead from the front and stair the affairs .<\/p>\n<p>It is without doubt that times are hard , but we can only redeem this quagmire going forward if we put in place a transformational leadership that will not only reorganize our party as a people- centred, socially responsible and an economic reform machinery but also as a national vehicle for equitable distribution of goods and services , job creation through industrialization and prudent management of national resources.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, I have no hesitation but to challenge the rank and file especially the delegates to critically and dispassionately conduct a competitive and SWOT analysis , diving into the strength, weaknesses , opportunities ,threats and qualities that each candidate brings on board for our collective interest to achieve the desired result we need as a party and a nation.<\/p>\n<p>I therefore, wish to implore all delegates to equally put their eyes on other strategic positions not limited to the General Secretary, National Organizer, National Youth and the women front .<\/p>\n<p>We need a leadership that is visionary with the of level of integrity, wisdom , craft and passion to sustain the growth of the party and lead a national developmental agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Donald Senanu Agumenu<br \/>For Special Assistant to Former President, Flt.Lt.
