Nana Akufo-Addo Did Not Win, NPP Won

Without a united front, the huge victory chalked by Nana Akuffo Addo in the Npp primaries will end up being a pyrrhic victory. As members of the great Elephant family of Npp, we need to forget the acrimonious campaigning of the candidates especially between Nana Akuffo Addo and Mr Alan Kyerematten,divided we fall, united we stand and therefore we need to forge a united front to defeat a well oiled and propaganda oriented Ndc government led by cash flushed President Mahama.

The bridge to the city called UNITY foundation was laid by the three candidates in the Npp primaries, Nana Akuffo Addo, Mr Alan Kwadwo Kyerematten and Mr Francis Addai Nimoh during the declaration of the primarily result when all three candidates decided to bury their hatchets and form a united front to defeat their political common enemy, the Ndc Party under the tutelage of the Accidental President Mahama who has destroyed the dreams of the youth of Ghana with bad economic policies that is going to require combined effort of all the three candidates and their supporters to alleviate.

Nana Akuffo Addo did not win, the Npp as a Party and people of Ghana who are trying to leave a positive legacy for our children and unborn grandchildren won. We have to celebrate this victory "magnanimously" as a party and not to rub it in to the supporters of Mr Alan Kyerematten and Mr Francis Addai Nimoh.

The hard work begins now towards the victory to the Jubilee house and all hands should be on deck.

"Se yeeko Navrongo a, ye yina Techiman enom pito".

To wit, "if we are going to Navrongo, we don't stop at Techiman just to quench our our taste with pito".

We have just reach the middle of our journey to the Jubilee house, now is not the time to indulge in celebration when the ultimate prize has not been won. Let it be the goal of all meaning patriotic Ghanaians, especially members of the great Npp Elephant family to contribute our quota towards a resounding victory in December 2016 and take our country back from the marauding kleptomaniac thugs of the Ndc Party.
