The flagbearer of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has given the assurance that he will do whatever is possible to bring unity within the party.
Nana Addo who attended a thanksgiving service held at the Mount Zion Methodist Church, Sakumono, for the New Patriotic Party's parliamentary candidate for the Tema West constituency, Carlos Ahenkorah said, "Whatever I can do to ensure that the NPP is united and all these internal happenings come to an end, I will do it."
He also admonished supporters of Carlos Ahenkorah not to do anything to antagonise supporters of the incumbent MP, explaining that unity is one of the key ingredients towards an NPP victory in 2016. It would have been good, he said, if Naa Torshie’s schedule would have allowed her to be present at the Service.
"I am not a perfect man by any stretch of the imagination, but my intention is an honest one. I'm not in politics to enrich myself, that's not the reason I came into politics. I came to contribute my quota to ensure that our nation develops. If it was all about money, I would have stayed in law and in business. Have confidence in me that I am coming for the development of our nation, because we are not entitled to be a poor country, but a prosperous one," he told the congregation.
On the issue of party unity he assured Rev. Brewu and the congregation that, "whatever I can do to ensure that the NPP is united and all these internal happenings come to an end, I will do it."
In concluding, he admonished the congregation to remain firm in their belief, urging them to be guided by Bible passage in Matthew 7:21 that “Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, except he who does the will of my Father, which is in Heaven."
