Women urged
to develop political capabilities
Accra, Dec. 07, Ghanadot/GNA- Ms. Aisha Sulley Futa,
aspiring Greater Accra regional Women's Organiser of the
Convention People's Party (CPP) on Friday urged women to
develop their political potentials to meet the challenges of
democratic development.
"In spite of the exhausting demand of politics, and the
chores of motherhood, caring for kids, husbands and other
undertakings, family duties that necessity imposes on women,
we need to manage our resources and time to upgrade our
level to compete with our male counterparts for political
positions," she stated.
Ms Sulley Futa told the Ghana News Agency in an interview in
Accra that Elections 2008 offers Ghanaians the opportunity
to elect more women into responsible position to ensure
equity.
She noted: "We have always supported our male counterparts
in all the political directions, its now time for them to
support us to move forwards."
The CPP Aspiring Women Organiser called on women to join the
CPP because it is the only party with humane policies
capable of redeeming the nation.
She said Election 2008 belongs to the CPP, and that "all
must join the winning team, its now time for all of you who
joined other parties during the ill-fated Progressive
Alliance era with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) or
the Great Alliance with the New Patriotic Party (NPP)."
Ms Sulley Futa said the previous leadership of the Nkrumaist
political parties "led us into these two unproductive
alliances without telling us the duration of the alliances".
"Its time for us all to come home to our mother party and
help it reclaim political power once again".
