Boakye Agyarko, former minister of Energy in President Akufo-Addo government and also 2024 campaign team member of Dr Alhaji Mahumudu Bawumia has said that the humiliating defeat the New Patriotic Party (NPP) suffered in the December 7 polls has exposed the cracks in the party.
Boakye Agyarko is therefore calling for reforms to ‘rescue’ the party, suggesting that some party people are demanding ‘we take our party back’.
He stressed that people are calling for a ‘takeover’ because it appears the party is currently under the control of an individual who seeks his own personal gain instead of the good of all party members and the nation.
In a statement shared on his X page, Boakye Agyarko, a leading member of the NPP said ‘We may have a clear idea as to who we are taking our party from. But we must strive to avoid the situation where we repose total trust and confidence in one man who will then seize the party and treat it as if it were his personal property and the rest of us his minions to be tread underfoot’.
The former energy minister reminded the party to learn from its past mistakes when it ended up putting the NPP ‘in the hand of one man creating a ‘Caesar’ while reorganising the party after the 2008 elections defeat.
‘We must ensure that our efforts this time round creates a party of likeminded men and women in pursuit of building a nation for the benefit of all rather than a organisation hijack by a cabal to transfer public wealth into private pockets or of an individual’,Agyarko said.SOURCE: Kasatintin.com
