GHANAIANS NEED CHANGE NOW- EX-PRESIDENT KUFOUR


FORMER PRESIDENT JOHN AGYEKUM KUFOUR
Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has today appealed to members of the largest opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) as a matter of urgency stay united ahead of the next year elections.

He bemoaned the unceasing infighting and internal wrangling within the rank and file of the Party and stressed on the need for them to stay focused and resolute in their quest of wrestling power from the incompetent government lead by President Mahama.

President Kufuor made this call during his address to the leadership; members and supporters of the Party at its day’s 15th extraordinary annual Delegates Conference held at the Coronation Park in Sunyani and was on the theme: “Arise for Change 2016.”

The Former President expressed the need for reconciliation as imperative to bring every member of the NPP on board for effective electioneering.

He further said Ghanaians are craving for change of government come November 7 indicating that the onus lies in the Danquah-Dombo-Busia tradition to make their dreams a reality.

“It is only the NPP which has the DNA to move the country forward by spurring private sector growth,” he said.

 Mr. Kufour said the country has witnessed bad governance, poor economic management and lack of direction in the last seven years, indicating that until the NPP closes its ranks it would be difficult for it to regain power.

Former President Kufuor affirmed the defining character of the NPP as promoting human dignity, the rule of law, tolerance and good governance, and therefore asked the leadership of the Party to be more responsive in addressing the challenges within it.


Former President Kufuor entreated members and supporters of the NPP to empower and support Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his running mate Alhaji Dr Mohamadu Bawumia in the electioneering for the Party to win the 2016 general election.

He asked the leaders and chairpersons of the Party to see themselves as servants and should therefore work hard for it to win the votes of the grassroots voters.
