I’m humbled and deeply touched by the love, sacrifice – Alan on health walk
Alan Kyerematen said this on Saturday during a health walk dubbed, “Aduro Wo So,” in Accra.
It was attended by hundreds of party members and sympathizers beautifully clad in NPP t-shirts and other paraphernalia.
A group of old students of Adisadel College – the “Santacluasians For Alan”- endorsed Alan Kyerematen’s Candidature during the walk.
Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah, Member of Parliament, Tema West Constituency, said Alan Kyerematen had been a long-serving member of the NPP and that just as President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was endorsed when the Party felt it was his turn, same must be done for Alan Kyerematen because “it is also his turn to lead the Party”.
He said Alan’s competency had been proven over time through his initiatives in the area of industrialisation and that he had contributed greatly to the growth of the Party and past governments.
“The competency of Alan is not in doubt. He has done so much even from President Kufuor’s time when he played a major role in the President’s Special Initiative…”
Alfred Mensah-Onumah, an Old student of Adisadel College 1997 year group and Co-ordinator of the “Santacluasians for Alan” group, touted Mr Kyerematen as an industrial genius who when given the nod, would cause an industrial revolution in the country.
“Alan has the know-how and stands tall when it comes to industrialisation, especially adding value to our raw materials. He played a major role in AfCFTA and even helped Ghana become its headquarters. He also successfully spearheaded the Government’s 1D1F program as a Minister.”
“We believe it is his time and, therefore, we appeal to all delegates to vote him as the Flagbearer. Once that is done, they can be assured that they will win the General Election,” he said.
Prominent party members present were, Hon Sly Tetteh, Hon Ayikoi Otoo, Hon Carlos Ahenkora, Hon Adomako Kissi, Pope, Hopeson Adorye and Nana Ohene Ntow.
Others included Hon Yaw Buaben, Hon Catherine Afeku, Mr. Richard Nyamah, former party officials and former ministers of state.
