NPP Has No Favourite In Nigeria’s Election - Kwabena Agyapong
Ghana’s largest opposition party, the New
Patriotic Party [NPP] says it will remain neutral
in Nigeria’s election.

According to NPP’s General Secretary, Mr.
Kwabena Agyei Agyapong, the party will not rally
behind either the incumbent President, Goodluck
Jonathan or the main opposition leader ex-military
ruler Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

He noted that, “Diplomatically it is not right
for us [NPP] to support any of them [Goodluck and
Buhari]. We cannot take side in another
country’s internal politics because you never
know who will eventually win”.

Nigeria’s election show little separating the
incumbent, President Goodluck Jonathan, and
ex-military ruler Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

In percentage, Goodluck Jonathan has polled
41.56%, and Muhammadu Buhari, 54.58% with 15
states left to be announced.

The final results in the closely contested poll
are expected to be announced on Tuesday.

However, speaking on OKAY FM’s "Ade Akye Abia"
programme, the NPP’s chief scribe warned its
party executive to be circumspect when commenting
on Nigeria’s election.

“I will counsel our party executives to desist
from commenting on Nigeria’s election because it
is the internal politics of a sovereign country.
We should not publicly disclose our choice. Ghana
has a strong relationship with Nigeria. Anyone who
will win in Nigeria, Ghana is ready to work with
him in a brotherly way,” he said.
