NPP disbands splinter groups
The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has
disbanded all groups within the party formed prior
to last Saturday’s delegates’ congress to
elect its 2016 flagbearer.

All groups loyal to the flagbearer aspirants who
were seeking to lead the party have been
dissolved, according to the Northern regional
Secretary of the NPP, Sule Salifu.

Speaking to DAILY GUIDE yesterday, the NPP scribe
indicated that it was
for the sake of the party’s unity and cohesion
that leadership of the party in the region arrived
at that decision. He urged members, especially the
youth, to adhere to the new directive.

According to him, once a flagbearer has been
chosen all members are required to solidly rally
behind him. He therefore urged supporters of the
NPP to ensure that they win more souls for the
party to emerge victorious in 2016.

He observed that such groups, if allowed to exist,
will not inure to the benefit of the party
particularly at a time its national leadership is
preaching peace within
the party to make it a formidable force to reckon
with.

Mr Sule disclosed that the task ahead of the party
in 2016 was no child’s play and indicated that
it is only through a united front that the NPP can
unseat the incumbent NDC government.

The incompetence of the current NDC
administration, coupled with the high
cost of living being decried by the majority of
Ghanaians, he noted, does not
guarantee the NPP power in 2016.

He, however, urged party members to ensure that
Ghanaians see the party as the best alternative to
salvage the country from its current quagmire.

This, he explained, can only be done if members
eschew factionalism, bickering and put matters
that arose prior to last Saturday’s congress
behind them and push for the removal of the
current government which is saddled with a myriad
of problems, including corruption.

The NPP leader urged party supporters, especially
those in the Northern region, to work extra hard
to make the NPP more attractive to the electorate
at the grassroots since it is the last hope for
Ghanaians.

“We cannot afford to fail Ghanaians this time
round.

They have so much confidence in us to win power in
2016 and turn things around
to improve their standard of living,” he
stressed.

The concession by the other two candidates at the
Efua Sutherland Children’s Park, he indicated,
was a signal to the rest of the world that the
party is united. He admonished those at the
grassroots to preach peace and move
ahead.

“The NDC is aware we are winning in 2016 so let
us all join hands in achieving
the dream of operation return to Power in 2016,”
he urged.
