Former Information Minister, Fatimatu Abubakar, has called on members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to refrain from public accusations and divisive rhetoric as the party seeks to recover from its defeat in the December 7, elections.
Speaking on Asempa FM on Friday, January 24, 2025, she expressed concern over the growing trend of public finger-pointing among NPP members, particularly by senior figures, following the party’s electoral loss.
“What is unacceptable and, indeed, bad for the necessary efforts to regroup is to hear or read senior members of the Party, including active members of the 2024 campaign team, pointing fingers cautionlessly,” she lamented.
According to her, such behaviour risks deepening mistrust and disunity within the party, undermining the collective effort required to chart a path back to power.
“Throwing accusations freely in public can only serve one negative purpose: build mistrust and disunity. What if those accused also decide to respond? They also have strong followings in the party and beyond. But where will that take us?” she questioned.
The former Minister's comments come at a crucial time for the NPP, as the party seeks to rebuild its image and strategy in preparation for the 2028 elections.
To address the party’s challenges, the National Council has constituted a fact-finding committee led by the former Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye.
This, Ms Abubakar, expressed confidence in the committee’s ability to identify the root causes of the party’s defeat and chart a winnable course forward.
However, she cautioned against allowing negative emotions to overshadow this critical process.
“If you truly love the NPP, you will cover it when you believe it is naked. You will fix it when you think it is broken and you will lift it when you see it down,” she said, urging members to prioritise the party’s long-term success over immediate frustrations.
She urged party members to focus on reflection, regrouping, and unity stressing that the NPP’s strength lies in collective action.
“Heroes are not made from those who lament to lambast but from those who find the courage to lead in the needed effort to make the Party rise again. We rise together and fall together. But rise is what we must and shall,” she added.
