NPP-USA Welcomes Nana and Rebecca Akufo-Addo to the USA

After the “Rise and Build” tour in Ghana, the leader of our great party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, will be visiting the USA for one week after attending an NPP International Conference in Amsterdam. He will be in the United States from October 18 to October 25, 2015, and then he will finish his North American tour with a two-day visit to Canada.

While in the USA, Nana Akufo-Addo will be addressing the Heritage Foundation in Washington DC on Tuesday, October 20. Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution - a think tank - whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.

He will also visit with US government officials, including US Assistant Secretary of State for Africa, Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, and US Senators, including Senator Jeff Flake, the Republican Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Sub-committee on Africa.

On October 23, the witty politician and freedom fighter, Nana Akufo-Addo will be hosted to a Fundraising and Dinner Dance event in Washington DC, as part of NPP-USA’s welcoming events. “Friday Night with Nana Akufo-Addo” intends to give attendees an up-close interaction with the flagbearer through a session of brainstorming in a friendly atmosphere of unbridled camaraderie.
