Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the former Information Minister and MP for Ofoase Ayirebi, has voiced strong concerns about what he describes as a worrying drift in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) moral and ideological compass.
During his address at the NPP National Delegates Conference at the University of Ghana Stadium, he urged party members to take a hard look at the current state of the party and rediscover the spirit of dedication and integrity that once set it apart.
According to Oppong Nkrumah, the NPP was founded on noble values selflessness, sacrifice, and service but these have been gradually eroded. “Ours was a party built on selflessness and service. Unfortunately, much of that has faded,” he remarked, a statement that resonated deeply with the audience.
He further cautioned that an increasing number of members appear motivated by personal enrichment rather than collective progress, a trend he said threatens the NPP’s moral standing and longevity.
With the party undergoing a constitutional review and internal reforms, Oppong Nkrumah’s message comes as both a challenge and a call to renewal. He emphasized that returning to the party’s founding ideals is vital for rebuilding public confidence and sustaining its political relevance.
“We must rediscover our original purpose sacrifice, selflessness, and service to Ghana,” he declared.
The conference, themed “Rebuilding Together with our Values,” has since ignited discussions about moral revival and the urgent need for unity and accountability within the party.
