NPP Government is out to Unite Ghanaians

Alhaji Ahmed Akwasi Yeboah, National Chairman of the Young Elephant Movement (YEM), a youth wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has stated that the party had come to unite Ghanaians.

He has, therefore, called on all Ghanaians to exercise patience since the government would ensure judicious use of resources and avoid discrimination in the sharing of resources.

Alhaji Yeboah was inaugurating the YEM branch at Kokoben near Akropong in the Atwima District at the weekend.

He asked them to be honest in their dealings and try to expose bad nuts that had infiltrated their ranks and were bound to thwart the positive changes of the government.

Alhaji Yeboah, who is also the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Kwabre, stressed that the NPP had come to stay and there was the need for them to rally solidly behind it to keep the nation moving forward.

The National Chairman urged them to embark on meaningful economic ventures to raise funds to support the activities of the movement, the party and development of the area.

He stressed the need for them embark on membership drive and educational programmes aimed at educating the people on health-related issues and government policies and programmes.

Mr Kwabena Nsenkyire, Vice National Chairman of YEM, praised the young men and women for mooting the idea of forming the Movement to support the ruling government. He urged them to have the self-help spirit and work hard to facilitate the work of the government.

Nana Akwasi Abayie, National Secretary of YEM, said the government was committed to the socio-economic well being of Ghanaians.

He, therefore, advised them to close their ranks and work as a united body working to help the government to succeed and also come to power again.

Alhaji Abu Mohammed, an Ashanti Regional Patron of YEM, observed that the Movement was the pillar of the NPP and President Kufuor.

He emphasised that YEM was fuelling the NPP as at now and members should desist from backbiting, rumour mongering and squabbles and help sustain the Movement and the Party.

A nine-member Executive inducted into office by the National Chairman had Mr Eric Adjei-Dapaah as Chairman, Mr Johnson Boakye-Yiadom, Secretary, Mr Francis Nkrumah, organiser, Madam Rebecca Boahin as treasurer and Miss Helina Sarfo, Women's Organiser.
