Lets Unite to Retire Nana Addo in 2012- NDC

Let’s Unite to Retire Nana Addo in 2012-Agyenim Boateng advices NDC The chairman of the United States of America (USA) branch of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor, Kwame Agyemang Boateng has stated that the NDC could win the 2012 elections and retire the leader of the opposition party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo with unity as its weapon.

‘’All I am telling my Akatamanso family is that the Sunyani Congresses over and must realize that in unity we stand and divided we shall all go down. With all the good works of the president Mills led government if we do not unite it will not augur well for us. Let us unite and fight the common enemy the NPP and retire its leader in the 2012 elections.’’ Prof. Boateng said.

He urged all feuding factions within the NDC to bury their differences and move forward with a common focus on winning next year elections massively. Speaking to Radio Gold in New York, the Head of Department of Political Science, Criminal Justice and Sociology of the school of Social and Bhaviour Science Prof. Kwame Agyenim Boateng said ‘’when it comes to competition or when two people are competing they will say so many things, but now that the congress is over and the delegates have voted for their choice of a leader, we must all come together. It’s a family issue and we must congregate to move the party forward in the right direction.

Ghanaians would judge us by the achievements of the president Mills led government and in its three years we have done a lot and stand the chance of winning the 2012 general elections convincingly.’’

He stressed that the Government is doing well, and members of the NDC in the United States of America would do everything to ensure the President Mills is retained. ‘’Unity is important so we will not leave people outside we are trying to mend the net and we are of strong conviction that the unity of the party would be achieved.’’

The Associate Professor of political science, International Relations and Philosophy, Kwame Agyenim-Boateng indicated that efforts are being made to unite the party and present a formidable force with the potential of winning next year elections overwhelmingly. He said all who deserted the party for one reason or the other should rescind their decision and join the winning team.
