CPP Flag bearer outdoors “unity tour”
in Tamale
Tamale (N/R), June 23, Ghanadot/GNA- Doctor Paa kwesi Nduom,
Flag bearer of the Convention Peoples’ Party (CPP) at the
weekend called on members and supporters of the party to
unite and present a formidable front for this year’s
presidential and parliamentary elections.
Making public what he termed; a “Unity Tour” in Tamale in
the Northern Region, he told party regional executives,
constituency chairmen and parliamentary aspirants, that
Ghanaians were looking to the CPP as the alternative to the
New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic
Congress (NDC) but not just for change sake.
“Ghanaians like the CPP’s message of Change Ghanaians can
feel in their pockets…. Therefore, the Party should not miss
this great opportunity to attract support and win power in
2008”, he said as part of his tour of the Northern Region.
Dr Nduom declared that he had forgiven “all those who have
spoken and acted in different ways against him in the past
few weeks”, saying, “To err is human”.
“ The CPP is a human organization and as such people will
make mistakes. All political parties have their challenging
times.
“The NDC has had people leave to form other parties. The NPP
has faced resignations and big problems during its
presidential and parliamentary primaries. But the CPP is a
Party of peace and unity and is expected to come and bring
Ghanaians together and build a nation that recognizes
excellence and one’s contribution and not religious or
ethnic origin”.
Dr. Nduom asked everyone to put recent minor challenges
aside and work to prove to Ghanaians that the CPP was ready
to manage the affairs of Ghana.
The CPP Flag bearer met the executives of the Greater Accra
Region on June 13, Eastern Region on Thursday, June 19 and
the Brong Ahafo Region on Friday, June 20 to appeal to them
to work together and unite their members for the common
objective of winning the 2008 election.
He briefed them on efforts being made by the Council of
Elders and the National Executives to solve disciplinary
problems that have cropped up recently in the Party.
Dr. Nduom is expected to carry his “Unity Tour” to the rest
of the regions in the next two weeks. He will also meet the
National Executives and interest groups in the Party on
Tuesday, June 24 to pursue the Unity agenda.
On Saturday, June 28, a Second Quarter Campaign Review will
be held to examine the national CPP campaign and chart the
course for the Third Quarter.
