TOP GUNS of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have been admonished to desist from pressuring the president-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to appoint them into his incoming administration.
Odeneho Nana Oppong, President of the ‘Nana Onetouch 2016 Movement’ – a group in the NPP which campaigned vigorously to help the party to achieve the massive electoral victory on December 7 – gave the piece of advice.
According to him, the NPP boasts of several knowledgeable and competent people therefore the probability of the party’s members putting pressure on Nana Akufo-Addo to appoint them into his administration is high.
Nana Oppong has therefore urged the uncountable academicians in the NPP to exercise patience and allow the president-elect to select the team he believes can help him deliver to the satisfaction of the citizenry.
Speaking at a press conference in Kumasi yesterday, he stated that Nana Akufo-Addo knows the capabilities of all the NPP gurus therefore, “I am cock sure that the president-elect will select the right people into his administration.”
He noted that every member in the ‘elephant family’ has a role to play for the NPP government to succeed, stressing, “Nana Addo cannot appoint all of us into his government at a go but we must all rally behind him to succeed.”
Nana Yaw Gyapong, National Coordinator of the group, appealed to Nana Akufo-Addo to appoint some of the competent youth in the party like Sammi Awuku into his administration to motivate the rest of them (youth).
He commended members of his group for working hard to help the party to secure the targeted first-round electoral victory, urging NPP members to continue to explain the party’s policies to their opponents.
In his succinct remarks, Martin Osei Adu, Patron of the group, admonished NPP members across the country to exercise patience and hope for the best, stressing that Nana Akufo-Addo would fulfill his campaign promises to better their lives.
Kwaku Owusu Antwi, another Patron, charged the teeming NPP members to continue to stand firmly behind the president-elect so that he could properly transform the state as he assured during the campaign period.
