Showing his party's eagerness to wrestle power from the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Mr. Kwabena Agyei Agyapong has made a passionate appeal to all the leaders and former Ministers and DCEs under erstwhile Kufuor’s administration
According to Kwabena Agyapong, in order to kick out the ruling NDC from power to end the suffering of Ghanaians, ex-ministers of state and former district chief executives must join the party’s campaign from the grassroots level and to help return the party to power in 2016.
To him, the eight years of NPP rule under President J.A. Kufuor yielded much more development than the combined progress made under the Rawlings and Mills/Mahama administration.
“All politics is local”, he said, emphasizing that his administration is focusing on improving the party’s grassroots mobilization and membership drive to give it a strong base and urged NPP followers to play active roles in that exercise.
He insisted that task of regaining power is burdensome and cannot be achieved with mere radio studio talking, pointing out also that there are appointed official spokespersons who at the appropriate times, release important information that must reach the party folks.
He called for selfless service to the party and country, saying people need to focus on the nation’s welfare and their own welfare too.
Refusing to comment on the dress code of the General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress, Kwabena Agyapong says there are more pressing matters needing attention such as babies being born prematurely and needing incubators who are losing their lives in health facilities because there is no electricity for the incubators to function than engaging in trivia.
Speaking on Okay Fm’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, he said whatever Asiedu Nketiah chooses to wear is his personal dress code, but that matter should not relegate discussions on how poor governance had led to a lack of planning to grow Ghana’s energy needs, resulting in frequent power outages.
