The acting Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP), Freddie Blay on Friday, January 5, ushered members of the party into the New Year with a soiree at the Tesano Royal Gardens in Accra.

The feast, which was graced by leading members of the party including National Youth Organizer, Sammy Awuku and NASARA Coordinator Kamaldeen Abdulai was aimed at showing appreciation to party faithfuls for their support since the party assumed power on January 7, 2017.

Addressing the guests, Freddie Blay expressed appreciation to the members and assured them of greater opportunities in 2018.

“On behalf of National Executives, I want to thank you all for your tremendous support. I wish you all a happy New Year. It is my hope that next year by this time, everyone will be working, businesses would be booming and everyone would be living happily. Greater opportunities abound for everyone so let’s tap into it”, Mr. Blay said.

“We have won an election but there are still many rivers to cross. Rivers to cross to make this country prosperous for everyone to be proud of”. So let’s all unite and work towards it”, He added.

National Youth Organizer, Sammy Awuku described Freddie Blay as a unifier who contributed immensely to the party’s success in the 2016 Elections.

According to Sammy Awuku, his reign as the leader of the youth wing of the party would have been a failure if not for the leadership and support he enjoyed from “Chairman Blay”.

“First of all, let me say thank you to Chairman Blay. He was there for us when things were tough and I’m grateful to him for the unity and stability he brought when the party was going through some difficult times. I was a successful Youth Organizer because the other national executives gave me the room and ability to work".

He concluded his speech by appreciating "Chairman Blay" for "giving me the opportunity to work with you".
