An Aide to NPP Presidential hopeful, Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku, believes places too much emphasis on �unproductive issues� and should rather work towards securing victory in the 2016 elections. �I don�t know why NPP as a party will waste precious time commenting on issues that are unproductive. The issue at stake is that Dr. Apraku met TESCONA students and told them what the party (NPP) should do to ensure that come 2016 we regain power. He (Dr. Apraku) never attacked anybody, he never insulted anybody. He only went there to tell the students what he thought should be done,� says Ahmed Osman. He was reacting to a founding-member of the NPP, Dr. Kwame Amoako-Tuffuor�s description of Dr. Konadu Apraku as a �traitor�. Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku, over the weekend, suggested the need to replace the party�s 2012 flag bearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in 2016 when he was speaking in Kumasi at the inauguration of Tertiary Education Students Confederacy of the NPP Alumni (TESCONA), an NPP group made of past graduates of tertiary schools. But Dr. Amoako-Tuffour found it puzzling that the 2008 Campaign Manager (Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku) of the party�s two-time presidential Candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, will now be running down his former boss just to propel his own selfish presidential ambitions. According to him, �Anybody who sounds like he is betraying a boss without any real good reason but just destructive, sounds like Judas Iscariot�Who is Dr Konadu Apraku to talk for Ghanaians who have decided they want Akufo-Addo the third time?�. But speaking on Asempa FM, Ahmed Osman insisted that, his boss during the meeting with the university students never compared himself to Nana Addo or rubbished his (Nana Addo�s) plans to run in the upcoming NPP presidential primaries for the third time. He however called on the party leadership to unite to recapture power in 2016 rather than creating needless controversies over ones ideology. �We (NPP) should just unite and work together as a team and concentrate on agenda 2016 and regain power. That is all Dr. Apraku is wants,� he said.
