�It is crystal clear that former president Kufour never supported the presidential bid of Nana Addo. We all know he was not too pleased with Nana Addo�s presidential ambition and taking a look at events that sprout up in December 2007 and 2008, he took decisions which he knew would harm Nana�s bid�. The above is a quotation from Felix Kwakye Ofosu, a member of the Communications Team of the governing NDC, who was contributing to a panel discussion on AsempaFM, an Accra-based private radio station. According to him, it is an open secret that ex-president Kufuor never actively campaigned for Nana Addo, adding he (Kufour) was rather rooting for Alan Kyeremanten to become his immediate successor. �In December 2008, when the NPP were seriously contesting electoral results, Kufuor was celebrating his birthday at the Golden Jubilee House, popping champagne�This issue�is very true and everyone knows the kind of controversies it generated�Clearly, we can all see he doesn�t wish Nana Addo well on the road to becoming president of Ghana,� he noted. To him, there is no unity in the NPP as they might want Ghanaians to believe, claiming that there is an �Akyem mafia and Asante bloc� fighting for control over the party, and cited contents of the book �Chasing the Elephant into the Bush� authored by Arthur Kennedy as basis for his argument. ��when they meet to agree on one thing, the Akyem mafias would smash it away,� he said. With such level of division and discord in the NPP, the NDC Youth activist wondered how the opposition party intends to wrestle power from the ruling party in 2012.
