Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, former Minister for Education and NPP presidential aspirant, has praised former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his “exemplary leadership” and timely call for party unity as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) approaches its presidential primaries.

Speaking after a cordial breakfast meeting with the former President and other aspirants in Accra, Dr Adutwum said Akufo-Addo’s guidance remained vital to preserving cohesion within the party.

“I commend the former President for his exemplary leadership and timely call for unity, civility, and restraint as our Party prepares to elect its next Flagbearer,” he said.

He reaffirmed his confidence in the NPP’s collective spirit, describing unity and civility as essential to sustaining public trust.

“The enduring strength of the NPP lies in our ability to disagree without discord and contest without contempt,” Dr Adutwum observed.

The Bosomtwe MP further urged party members to focus on Ghana’s broader progress rather than internal competition, pledging to uphold the NPP’s founding ideals.

“United and focused, we will lead Ghana into a new era of growth, stability, and transformation,” he affirmed.

Dr Adutwum, known for his transformative initiatives in education, is one of several aspirants vying to succeed President Akufo-Addo as the NPP’s next flagbearer.
