Be patient and tolerant – Jake tells Afoko
Defeated New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman Jake
Obetsebi-Lamptey has advised the newly elected
National Chairman Paul Afoko to be tolerant and
patient when carrying out his duties.

He however admonished him to limit the level of
tolerance since over tolerance could impede his
plans and vision.

“One of the criticisms against me was that I was
too tolerant of views that were being improperly
expressed; and that I should have cracked the whip
a little bit more than I did”, he said.

Mr Obetsebi-Lamptey also asked party supporters to
rally behind the newly elected executives for
victory in 2016.

Mr. Obetsebi Lamptey and most of his executives
lost their re-election bid when delegates
unanimously voted for Paul Afoko and other
contenders to lead a new set of executives at the
party’s conference on Saturday April 12.

The only survivor in the Jake Obetsebi Lamptey-led
administration, Otiko Afisa Djaba faced very stiff
opposition to suggest delegates were not satisfied
with their performance.

“I’ve always believed that NPP delegates
choose wisely. If they had voted for me like they
did last time, I would have said that they chose
wisely”, Mr Obetsebi-Lamptey said.
