Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the President of the Republic of Ghana has said, his duty is to make sure there is a level playing field for all inside the New Patriotic Party (NPP) because that will enable them to ‘break the 8, Apexnewsgh.com reports
According to President who spoke in an exclusive interview on Kumasi-based Pure FM with Kwame Adinkrah, he affirmed that he has no preferred choice of a candidate even though, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has a focus on agenda ‘Breaking the 8’ of which some key members in his government have shown interest of taking over from him.
“My duty is to hold the balance. To make sure there’s a level playing field for all inside our party because the decision has to be the decision of the party. My thing is that whoever the party elects as the flagbearer for 2024, that person is the one I will support and God-willing if I still have strength, campaign for that person.
He said, supporting someone with the same interest as others in the party will amount to nothing other than division.
“I feel if an outgoing President is leaning towards x or y, it can lead to problems in the party. It’s not everyone that will agree with you so I have to keep away from that and make sure that there’s a level playing field and then we get somebody who can be loved by the party and unite the party around our program, around his leadership. That is what will help us so that we can go to the election of 2024 as a united force.”
“I think that the program and the work that this government is doing is an efficient foundation and I think that we will have a message for the country.
“It is the message that matters in politics and I believe we will have a strong message that we will deliver to Ghanaians in 2024 when we put it all together in terms of the various things that we are doing.
I believe that it is possible. I don’t have any hesitation saying that I will work for it to happen so that the progress we have initiated can be sustained.” The President stated on Pure FM.
