Former Chief Executive for the State Transport Corporation (STC), Nana Akomea, has expressed his satisfaction with the decision by Kennedy Ohene Agyapong to withdraw from the ongoing ‘Thank You Tour’ of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He believes the exercise which was expected to foster unity, is rather turning competitive and dividing the party.
"The current ‘Thank You Tour’ has turned into an unnecessary competition and it is good for Kennedy Agyapong to withdraw," he told Nhyira FM.
Mr. Akomea bemoaned the division among party leadership and called for leaders to be models of unity for party members.
He observed that such tours have been staged since 1992, whenever the NPP lost elections.
"Leaders in the party must remain united and be a symbol of unity for the party supporters to follow. This thank you tour is not new, it has been there since 1992," he stated.
The senior member of the New Patriotic Party indicated he is saddened by the extent of loss in the 2024 elections, and stressed the need for party members to reflect on that and be positioned for victory in 2028.
"If you look at the NPP, we are really sad about the margin of loss in the 2024 elections. This should guide the way we do things if we want to win the 2028 elections," said Nana Akomea.
