Professor
Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng declares, the Lord will fight for
him
Ho, Dec. 08, Ghanadot/GNA - Professor Kwabena
Frimpong-Boateng, former Chief Executive Officer of Korle Bu
Teaching Hospital on Friday described the December 05
balloting for position on the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
December 22 Special National Delegates Congress Ballot Paper
as a good omen for democracy.
"My number 14 position on the ballot paper is a divine one,
taking inspiration from Exodus Chapter 14 verse 14, which
says, The Lord will fight for you, but you must keep quiet,"
Prof. Frimpong-Boateng told newsmen at Sogakope in the Volta
region after meeting potential delegates.
Sounding prophetic, NPP Presidential Aspirant said "it’s the
Lord who would fight for me: Though I have contacted the
potential delegates, share the message of hope and
deliverance I know that victory that am counting on must
nevertheless come from the Lord".
"God says, in this instance, that He will fight for me but I
must keep quiet, stressing that the contrast between the
Lord's action and my silence is a wonderful picture of the
Biblical concept of grace, where we merely trust, while God
does the work," Prof Frimpong-Boateng stated.
The Cardiothoracic Surgeon explained that he entered into
the contest to become the flag bearer of the ruling NPP for
Elections 2008 to address challenges resulted from problems
associated with increase in the population size and
complexity of the society as well as the management of its
interaction with other populations' for example, managing
the effects of globalization on a developing economy.
Prof Frimpong-Boateng reiterated: "There is a crisis in
leadership. One of the most universal cravings of our time
is a hunger for compelling and creative leadership."
He emphasised that the problem of the absence of creative
and visionary leadership however, seems to be acute in the
so-called third world countries, especially in Africa.
The Heart Surgeon stated: "I stand for prompt, vigorous
action and challenged the delegates to cast their vote for
Prof. Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng as the flag bearer of the NPP
for Elections 2008, this is the time to elect a winnable
candidate for the party.
"Prof Kwabena Frimpng-Boateng would inspired a new vision
and enthusiasm in Ghanaians. Kwame Nkrumah's dynamism
contributed to the political emancipation of the African
continent. J.B. Danquah's unflinching belief in democracy
and the rule of law laid the foundation for a political
system, which had survive decades in the opposition.”
