A Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana’s Political Science Department has criticised the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s decision to embark on a Thank You Tour.
He believes it is misplaced and unnecessary at this time.
“I don’t think it’s necessary,” Dr. Kwame Asah-Asante said bluntly on Joy News’ PM Express on Monday.
“We have more pressing issues that I would have thought the party will spend more time looking at in detail.”
He pointed to unresolved internal problems that he says must take priority.
“For instance, we saw the bickering and the rancour that characterised the party’s parliamentary and presidential primaries, and it fed into the whole electoral process. You cannot discount this,” he stressed.
According to him, the lingering disputes from the primaries are a major threat to the party’s unity.
“Even though I have not seen their report, this is something that lingers on within the political space,” he said.
“I thought this is an opportune time for them to look at it, deal with it, so that people who are aggrieved, who are disenchanted, you can get them back.”
He specifically mentioned some key figures who need to be reconciled.
“The likes of Amoako Baah, Afoko and co. These are matters that the party needs to deal with at home,” he said.
Dr. Asah-Asante argued that the thank-you tour could have been handled differently.
“The thank-you tour, they could have saved us from the situation with a press release,” he said.
“Then you go into these specific ones that are really rearing their ugly heads into the whole political business within the party and creating all manner of problems.”
In his view, the tour adds no real value to the party’s current challenges. “For me, the tour is a waste of time,” he declared.
He warned that ignoring these issues could deepen the cracks within the party and affect its fortunes in the next elections.
“You need to deal with your house first before you go out to show appreciation,” he advised.
