The entire national executives of the Ghana
Freedom Party (GFP), have deserted their leader, Madam Akua Donkor, to endorse
the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo for the 2016 presidential elections.Their decision to endorse
the NPP leader, they argued, is because their programs and policies as contained
in their manifesto is consonance with that of the NPP.
They are also of
the view that their unflinching support and commitment to the candidature of the
NPP presidential candidate in the upcoming presidential elections is premised on
the leadership qualities of Nana Akufo-Addo.
They are hopeful that when
Nana Akufo-Addo is voted into power and implements those programs and policies,
Ghana will be a better place to live in.
National Communication Director
of the GFP, Alex Ababio, in an interview with Kasapafmonline.com, confirmed the
position the party executives have taken.
He said they took the decision
after thoroughly assessing the manifestos of the governing National Democratic
Congress (NDC) and the NPP.
According to him, Nana Akufo-Addo has
demonstrated that he is a selfless leader who is not corrupt and has vast
superior record of fighting corruption and social injustice in the country,
hence, their endorsement.
The position of the executives, is contrary to
that of the leader, Akua Donkor, who has since the 2012 general elections,
endorsed the presidency of Mr. John Dramani Mahama. |
