CPP for Doom

Perfection resides in quality and not quantity and we the members of KNUST
TESCHART have come to realize that the Convention People's Party which was
built, supported and propagated by the youth of this great Nation is on the
verge of collapsing and being scrapped off from the archives of the
political cubicles in Ghana.

It has come to us as a matter of urgency not only to protect and
prevent this great party of ours from collapsing but also consciously and
diligently guide our political future.

The CPP has relented on the principles of building and keeping a vibrant
youth wing. Several proposals have falling on deaf ears and we are not
prepared even for a minute to sit and watch this happen.

Our own research has proven that over 50% of the Ghanaian youth are Pro
Nkrumaist but because of the lack of tact, diplomacy and ineptitude toward
working for power, has perpetually left us always reeling backwards
descending into the gullies of hopelessness in direct contrast with the
motto of the party "FORWARD EVER BACKWARD NEVER"

We in KNUST are still young and vibrant and would not like to be part of a
neo-political tradition that is not working towards wrestling power from
her opponents but seems to be content with opposition. While other
political parties are hunting for youth to be part of them, the CPP is
discouraging them by the adamant attitudes exhibited by some high profiled
members. We demand to know whether we are victims of any circumstance by
being members of TESCHART and the CPP as a whole?

We don't want to believe that those conspiracy theories in the inner
circles are true in an attempt to shatter the political dreams of some
people and even if they are, we demand that they are consciously diagnosed
and treated. We in KNUST hereby wish to remind the ‘National Leadership’
that CPP is by the youth and for the youth. We therefore request an
immediate attention to be drawn towards the following:

1. Immediate inauguration of TESCHARTs Ashanti region.
2. The drawing of a clearly defined time schedule for the activities of
the party in the run up to congress.
3. The opening and filling of nominations by presidential aspirants and
finally
4. Organising a youth congress as a means of strengthening the youths
commitment.
Anything short of these, we TESCHART KNUST will advice ourselves.

LONG LIVE TESCHART
LONG LIVE CPP
LONG LIVE GHANA.
