Stop pitching Akufo-Addo against Alan – Titus Glover

Titus Glover, New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Tema East, has disputed claims that the party's 2012 Presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo, is the cause of problems in the party.

According to him, Nana Addo's exploits for the party cannot be undermined.

Speaking on Oman FM, Titus Glover cautioned critics of Nana Addo to stop pitching him against this year's Presidential Aspirant, Alan Kyerematen.

He wondered why the critics have sought to divide the party by suggesting that there are factions in it stressing that the NPP is not an "Akanized party" but a party that unifies all its members.

Titus Glover further stated that the people of Ashanti region adore Nana Addo despite his Akyem background.

He added: “Akufo-Addo is an institution in our politics in this country. He has lived his life. Everything he must do to help the country’s democracy, he has done it...Why do we always want to find trouble between Akyem(s) and Asante(s)? Where’s it going to get us to?...The NPP is not an Akanized party. It’s a nationalist party that belongs to all of us.”
