“Our goal for ourselves and for our country remains the same says Samia Nkrumah, National Chairperson and Leader of the Convention People's Party (CPP). – “ Our goal for which we were elected in 2011 remains the same – a reformed CPP, an independent minded CPP confident in our Nkrumaist ideology that can re-activate our agenda for freedom. Our objective is to realize complete social, economic and political and cultural emancipation. In other words, we aim to free ourselves from poverty and dependency and tribal politics, so we can enjoy the freedom to create wealth for Ghanaians and Africans”
She was speaking at the recently ended CPP Conference in Tamale.
“Let there be no mistake, we are here, and in the CPP, to continue the work of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana and Africa: Re-activating manufacturing plants, planning for our development, putting the Ghanaian at the commanding heights of the economy, delivery of basic needs including quality, compulsory and free education linked to industry, and re-awakening our consciousness to our ability as Africans to manage our own affairs with fairness and compassion to all. This is what the CPP was formed to deliver.” she said
The CPP Leader noted that these are things that remain unfulfilled in our country today, and thus the CPP's goal and mission for Ghana remains incomplete.
Hon. Nkrumah went on to say that the CPP needed committed, loyal and dedicated members to return CPP to Government because there was a need to overturn decades of dependency, mismanagement and a visionless approach to development in Ghana.
She thanked the party's Northern Regional Executives and the Kumbungu Constituency Executives, for their hard work which gained Hon. Moses Yahaya a seat in Parliament for CPP. She added that coming only four months after the general election the win involved tremendous sacrifice of time, effort and financial resources, with the party machinery from National, Regional, Constituency and Polling Stations working at its best.
Hon Nkrumah bemoaned the fact that since the 2012 elections Ghanaians have not had an easy time, adding that the country is experiencing some of the hardest times since the country's return to multi-party democracy, with the cost of living excruciatingly high, delivery of basic services painfully poor, no jobs, the utility services experiencing the most dire situation, many people have never known the use of clean potable water supply, electricity supply so inconsistent as to make those who are lucky to have power very frustrated.
All have become painfully aware that as a nation we are mismanaging our resources and losing our revenue through greed, selfishness and negligence. She said, adding that this is stalling our development and killing our morale as a people and a nation.
“Destiny beckons for the CPP once again and the party must be ready on the next occasion at the next general elections” she said.
Hon Nkrumah went on to say further that it is the CPP's ideology that has guided its stance on the Plant Builders Bill and its anti-GMO campaign, embark on a Positive Education Campaign or to re-connect with the TUC and the Ghana Co-operatives Council.
The CPP Leader urged all members of her party to understand the issues confronting Ghana and to make a stand for Freedom and Justice.
