In a recent exclusive interview, Dr. Moses Atinga, the former First Vice Chairman of the Opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), made a heartfelt plea to politicians regarding the health of the nation’s leaders. Apexnewsgh reports.
The discussion arose amidst growing concerns over the health condition of Vice President Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang.
Dr. Atinga expressed his deep concern, stating, “We all need to pray for the Vice President. She is the only Vice President of this country, and it is our responsibility to ensure her well-being.” He emphasized the importance of supporting her in her role and urged citizens to pray for her to succeed in her government duties.
As a medical professional and politician, Dr. Atinga highlighted the critical need to separate politics from health issues. “Illness does not recognize political affiliation. It will affect anyone, regardless of whether they belong to the NPP or the NDC.” He passionately called for an end to the political gamesmanship surrounding health matters, explaining that health issues can impact anyone at any time.
He lamented how certain high-profile figures, including the current Foreign Minister, Hon. Ablakwa, and the Shippers Authority CEO, Prof. Ransford Gyampo, had engaged in unnecessary political squabbles around such serious issues. “It is uncalled for,” he said, “and Karma has a way of reflecting the consequences of our actions.”
Dr. Atinga urged his NPP colleagues and Ghanaians to unite in prayer for the Vice President’s speedy recovery. He asserted, “We will not engage in politicizing her health by dredging up past comments from ministers who may have spoken out of ignorance.”
Drawing from his medical expertise, Dr. Atinga explained that the best Doctor is one who knows when to refer a patient. He acknowledged that there might be factors at play in the decision to refer the Vice President to another facility that extend beyond mere expertise, such as logistical constraints.
Recognizing the reality of the nation’s healthcare system, he reminded everyone that not all medical issues can be adequately addressed within the country’s current abilities as a developing nation. “We must get it right and stop the politicking,” he emphasized. Dr. Atinga concluded by calling on those who had previously criticized leaders for seeking medical care abroad to come forward and apologize to the people of Ghana.
Meanwhile, In the Upper East Region, the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation among the well-meaning members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP). They eagerly awaited a shift in leadership; their hopes pinned on the upcoming Regional Party Chairmanship bid. The air was thick with speculation as everyone wondered who would step forward to lead the charge for change.
One name that frequently surfaced in their discussions was Dr. Moses Atinga. As the excitement grew, many members found themselves curious about his ambitions. They hoped to learn whether he would throw his hat into the ring and when he might make his intentions known.
When approached with these pressing questions, Dr. Atinga remained calm and collected.
“There’s still plenty of time for me to announce my intentions to the public,” he remarked thoughtfully. His demeanor conveyed a sense of patience and strategy, indicating that he believed rushing into a declaration would be premature.
“The NPP has a lot of processes ahead, and I see no need to hasten my decision,” he added, reinforcing his commitment to carefully considering his next steps.
As the Party members waited, the sense of intrigue surrounding Dr. Atinga and the leadership race only continued to grow, with everyone eager to see how the unfolding events would shape the future of the NPP in the Upper East Region.
