Columnist: NPP

Amoako Tufour is doing NPP and Nana Addo more harm

*. HE IS ON A MISSION TO
SABOTAGE OUR VICTORY IN 2016.*

History is not just the path left by the past; it influences the present
and can shape the future. As youth of NPP who are determined to make 2016
different, we raise today’s issues about Dr. Kwame Amoako Tufour based on
the mandate of conscience and the reading of history. We must make clear
that, it is the right of Dr Amoako Tufour to support any candidate and also
democratically right to question the motive of Amoako Tufour when his
support is increasingly undermining the electoral fortunes of NPP and the
very candidate he claims to support.

Not once, not twice, not thrice, but severally, Dr Amoako Tufour has
publicly given currency to his own dangerously designed malice towards 2016
which comes in his expression as "NO NANA NO VOTE". We expect an elderly
person like Amoako Tufour to be aware of the sad echo of these words. Which
is “NO ISAAC OSEI NO VOTE” “NO APRAKU NO VOTE” “NO FRIMPONG BOATENG NO
VOTE”? With this, where are we going as a people and as a party?

This desperate and needless crusade has surely put NPP on the path of
self-destruction and defeat. This must stop. The last time on Asempa FM, he
opined that it was Nana Addo’s birthright to be President at all cost. In
1998, Dr Amoako Tufour supported President Kufour against Nana Addo. In
2007, Dr Amoako Tufour supported Vice President Aliu Mahama, again, against
Nana Addo. Doubly reliable sources point Amoako Tufour as the mastermind
behind most denigrating text messages about Nana Addo in 2007.

Today in 2013, the same Amoako Tufour is weirdly showing a supposed support
for Nana Addo in the media which is NOT helpful to Nana Addo himself and
the NPP in general, relative to 2016. He is virtually insulting the
intelligence of Ghanaians and making the party unattractive to floating
voters. His choice of words is meant to deepen cracks in the party and we
cannot allow him to destroy this party, which was built on the principle of
choice.

We call on our party elders and leadership to call Dr Amoako Tufour to
order. We also call on Dr Amoako Tufour to know and strike the precious
balance between support and sabotage.

We again assure our 5 million men and women of NPP that, we the youth, will
take history into our hands, win power come 2016, and shape our destiny as
a people.

Long live NPP, long live Ghana.

Thank you.
