Kwaku Dawuro Warns NPP Against Putting Pressure On Sammy Awuku, Says It Could Affect Party’s Growth

Broadcast journalist Kwaku Dawuro of Movement TV has appealed to members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to give former National Lottery Authority (NLA) boss Sammy Awuku peace of mind, arguing that putting unnecessary pressure on him could affect his ability to support the party.

According to Kwaku Dawuro, Sammy Awuku remains an important figure whose contributions are needed to strengthen the NPP, particularly in the Aburi constituency, where he is expected to play a key role in supporting the party’s activities.

He explained that Awuku has a responsibility to help organise and support the party in Aburi, which he described as an orphan constituency, while also extending assistance to the Member of Parliament for Okere.

Dawuro believes that instead of creating difficulties for Awuku, party members should allow him to concentrate on his political responsibilities and continue contributing to the party’s development.

“What Sammy Awuku needs now is peace of mind so that he can shepherd our orphan constituency in Aburi and at the same time help the MP for Okere,” he said.

He further warned that putting pressure on the former NLA boss could affect his financial ability to support the party, suggesting that his spending power plays an important role in helping the NPP grow at the grassroots level.

“If we stress him, it will affect his spending power to help the party grow,” Dawuro added.

His comments have drawn attention to the role of financially influential party members in supporting political activities, especially at the constituency level.

Political parties in Ghana often depend on the contributions of wealthy supporters, former government appointees and influential individuals to organise programmes, support grassroots activities and strengthen their structures ahead of elections.

Dawuro’s intervention also highlights the importance of maintaining unity within the NPP as the party prepares for the next general election in 2028.

Sammy Awuku, a former NLA Director-General and a prominent NPP figure, has remained active in the party’s political activities.

The journalist’s appeal suggests that the NPP should recognise Awuku’s contributions and avoid actions that could discourage him from supporting the party.

For Dawuro, giving Awuku peace of mind is not just about protecting an individual but also ensuring that the party continues to benefit from his political influence and financial support.
