NPP IS
ENERGISED FOR 2012’ SAYS AKUFO-ADDO,
AS HE ENDS PRE-PRIMARIES NATIONAL TOUR
The 2012 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and the national leadership of the
Party have successfully completed the nationwide tour ahead of
the upcoming April 30 Parliamentary Primaries of the Party.
For this tour, the delegation focused its attention on the party
and its internal arrangements for the parliamentary primaries to
be held in two months.
Nana Addo has since expressed his profound gratitude to the
entire membership of the Party across the country for their
support and cooperation when the leadership came to their
respective Regions for the exercise.
The Flagbearer, who returned to Accra Friday evening described
the tour as a “huge success, which has given all of us
additional motivation for the task ahead. What we saw was a
party, energised and focused on the ultimate goal of victory in
2012. The spirit of togetherness, even under this current
atmosphere of competition was encouraging.”
He has called on all members and activists of the Party to “keep
up the spirit and enthusiasm and build on that to drive us to
victory in 2012.”
Nana Addo said, “Even though the focus was more on the party, we
took the opportunity to also assess the impact of the
Government’s negative policies and programmes on the people. The
more we saw the more inspired we were of the need to win power
in 2012 and create a brighter future for the Ghanaian people.”
According to Nana Addo, “the young people of Ghana, wherever you
go are crying for education, skills and jobs. What is even more
disheartening is the high level of pessimism that has built up
among the youth of Ghana over the last couple of years. We need
to bring back hope.”
The leadership of the Party put together the tour to listen to
concerns and views of the Party at the grassroots level, lay
down the rules of fair play to ensure successful parliamentary
primaries, as a necessary platform for the 2012 campaign.
According to Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, this proactive move by the
leadership of the party before the primaries has given a major
boost to the people on the ground. “They are well-energised. We
have motivated them to have the courage, commitment and
concentration to lead us to victory. They are going all out to
sell our message and protect the ballot.”
He explained, “The first task to winning the election is to
mobilise, energise and consolidate your own support base. That
means ensuring successful primaries, and using that platform to
get everybody to work together for both the Presidential and
Parliamentary elections. The message of the Flagbearer has also
energised the Party nationwide.”
