“LET’S FOCUS ON WINNING
2016” – AKUFO-ADDO URGES NPP
The 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic
Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is calling on
the entire membership of the party to focus its
energies on helping the party to win the 2016
election, and leave the structures of the party to
handle whatever problems that currently exist in the
party.
According to Nana Akufo-Addo, the Ghanaian people
are looking forward to an NPP administration to
return the country onto the path of progress and
prosperity, and as such it is incumbent on the NPP
to do all within its power to secure victory for
Ghana next year.
The NPP flagbearer made this known on Tuesday,
November 10, 2015, at the final day of a 2-day
training programme organised by the party for
selected regional executives across the country.
“Our country needs us to win, so let us focus on
that. Let us focus on winning, we are capable of it
and I have confidence that the people gathered in
this room can deliver victory for us,” he said.
To this end, he urged all NPP members to have faith
in the party’s structures to handle the current
issues confronting the party.
“Our party structures are capable of dealing with
the problems, so let us leave the party structures
to handle the problems of the party. Let me repeat
it. Our party structures are capable of handling the
problems in our party, so let us leave it to them to
do so, whilst we get on with our main task of
mobilisation and organisation of our party,” he
stressed.
An NPP victory in 2016, he once again reiterated,
will not be a victory solely for the NPP as a party.
“Victory is about building a new Ghana. It is
extremely important that we go into this fight
knowing that we are not doing so for ourselves or
our party, but we are doing so for the people of
Ghana. We want to build a prosperous Ghana that our
founding fathers dreamt about, and we are capable of
doing it. But, first, all of we have to win the
election of 2016,” he added.
Nana Akufo-Addo expressed his delight at the
successful outcome of the training programme,
stating that “the little I have heard tells me that
it is an important contribution to our forward
movement and it is solid. The people in this room
are the key to our victory next year and we stand a
good chance of winning.”
He continued, “At the end of the day, all the
messages, tips that are going to improve our
performance all boil down to one thing: how
committed are we to victory next year? Because if we
are committed and we imbibe what we are hearing from
here, then we are standing on a solid platform for
going ahead next year.”
NDC don’t want me to travel
On his recent travel to South Africa, which was
reported by supporters of the ruling NDC government
as evidence of ill-health, Nana Akufo-Addo described
it as a sign of desperation of a government that
prefers to concentrate its attention on the
activities of the opposition leader and not dealing
with the difficult conditions of our people.
“I am not on a stretcher. I get the impression that
the NDC do not want me to travel. Every time I am
going to travel they say I am going to see doctors
or I am on a stretcher. I am going to continue to
travel, and I am fine, as you can see,” he said.
