A Contemporary Youth of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Western Region are calling on the delegates of the ruling party to have faith in the current Minister of Food And Agriculture, Dr Afriyie Akoto by endorsing his candidature for the 2024 General elections.
According to the group leader, Nana Fidel, in a statement, they have observed from far that the outcome of the recent party internal contest clearly shows that Dr Afriyie Akoto is the obvious choice of the party grassroots hence the need to rally behind him to become the next flag bearer of the party.
The Group said, the outcome of the recently party contests clearly shows he is leading the other contenders, therefore if the ruling party want to break the 8-year cycle of the government system in the country then he is the right man to lead.
The group noted that after all the machinations and mischievous tactics on the NPP- Ashanti election grounds by Team Bawumia through their various representatives in the Region to get the Regional Executives including Wontumi to lose the elections due to their widely held perception that Wontumi is Akoto, Chairman Wontumi has still safely sailed through and ended up as the winner on the day.
The group said after the elections, Dr Akoto manage to take lead in the Eastern, Volta, Oti and Western Regions respectively.
“An average of the total winners of the Ashanti Regional Executives elections on the days indicate that Ashanti Region has fallen for Akoto” the group added.
They indicated that “anytime the party’s intra-party elections is approaching, there that you hear names upon names, lobbying upon lobbying and manipulation upon manipulation, but one thing clear in our minds is that; people have gone through hell to bring the party to the level that we find ourselves”.
“The toil of our forefathers should be indispensable and paramount to our current political discourse. The blood that was shared for us should be something we all must cherish and value so that we can keep forging ahead as we all want to break the eight (8) this time around”.
“We, the Contemporary Youth of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) believe that Dr Afriyie Akoto stands tall when it comes to having the grassroots at heart. Dr Akoto has demonstrated good faith by supporting thousands of the youth through his contributions as well as in the agricultural sector”.
They said ” Dr Afriyie Akoto’s contribution to the party’s communication outfit is very immense and worth commending in the party’s “World Bank that’s Ashanti Region, and across the country is as well very tremendous”
“Dr Afriyie Akoto is a legend based on tracing the historical antecedent of this party to the current administration. In furtherance, Dr Afriyie Akoto is the right man to lead NPP based on integrity, patriotism, competence, and as well, very outspoken”.
“Any minister who occupies the Agricultural Ministry is seen as the “father and mother” of that nation because the Agricultural Ministry is to feed the country’s citizenry and preserve the generation for the future and indeed he has demonstrated this for the past 6 years, and that’s why we have confidence and hope in him to lead the elephant family to that victory we’re yearning for” the statement added.
“We, the contemporary youth of the New Patriotic Party (NPP)-Western region have endorsed Dr Akoto, and we hope and believe that the Party will allow him to serve by endorsing him as our the next flagbearer and subsequently winning the 2024 general elections to become Ghana next president” the group noted.
