Dr.Samuel Sarpong, Former Ashanti Regional Minister in the erstwhile former President John Dramani Mahama’s administration has boldly said that,the NDC’s common enemy is the corrupt administration of the ruling New Patriotic Party.
According to him,the party can only overpower their enemy (NPP) only if they join hands as one people and work towards saving the destiny of this Country (Ghana) which is currently bleeding under the vicious hands of the the visionless NPP.
Dr.Samuel Sarpong revealed that,it is now an open secret that President John Dramani Mahama is not only an obvious choice within members of the NDC to
lead the party to victory in the next elections but he is also an acclaimed popular and competent leader that Ghanaians expect to save the Country in the 2024 general elections.
On the basis of this,it is Dr.Saroong’s reasoned opinion that there is no need for members of the great NDC to contest the party’s coming Presidential primaries against John Dramani Mahama,even though as a democratic party , contest is very highly encouraged at all levels .
The former Kumasi mayor, under late Prof.John Evans Atta Mills’s administration however maintained that, without any prejudice to the rights of persons who may be nurturing any ambition to challenge the former President, John Dramani Mahama,in the party’s Presidential primaries,it is Dr.Sarpong’s candid advice that such resources which NDC Presidential hopefuls stand to use in the NDC Presidential primaries against the former president be reserved to support the campaign of the NDC during the general elections since the obvious and strategic choice for NDC is nobody but His Excellency John Dramani Mahama.
Dr.Samuel Sarpong made this known yesterday at Anita Hotel in Ejisu -Ashanti Region in an address delivered during the 4TH Annual Summit of The NDC Professionals Forum.
Dr.Sarpong further indicated that,whilst commending both the old and young professionals gathered at the summit for putting their professional expertise at the disposal of the party ,he wished to encourage them to continue to stand firm in defense of the legacies of NDC.
He entreated them to make a solid resolution to join the vast majority of NDC supporters nationwide to protect the ballot boxes from polling centres to the collation centres until NDC is declared winner of the process in fulfilment of the wishes of the Ghanaian voter.
Dr.Samuel Sarpong concluded by preaching Unity of purpose among all members of the NDC .
Adding that,the battle in election 2024 elections will be a tough one if the NDC do not confront it with a United front, hence the need for members to reserve all their arsenals towards the course rather preoccupying themselves with any destructive tendencies during their internal elections.
He therefore send a strong signal to the NPP that , never again, will the NDC allow the sovereign will of the Ghanaian voter to short changed.
This he said is a promise and it is not open for negotiations ,but pure and simple.
