Purpose Of Nana Addo's Press Conference Defeated.
30.05.2015 LISTEN

In the mists of the NPP internal wranggling, many had expected leadership to take a rabbit step into solving this historic internal crisis that has become an architect of the tragedic assassination of Alhaji Mahama Adams who was the NPP Upper East Regional chairman.

The fundamental cause of this with regards to public opinion is the deep seated factionalism in the party where name calling and finger pointing has become an anthen sang everyday everywhere by even party gurus.

The silence of Nana Akkufo Addo was not helping in the whole process of uniting the party.

The press conference by Nana would have been excellent if it had came ealier to clearly demonstrate his commitment to the peace call and wash his hands off this smelling rotten elephant meat. He could have done this with the national chairman and the secretary who appear to be in the center of affairs in this whole episode.

That aside, the words from the NPP presidential hopeful were very powerful but vague.

Powerful in the sense that, he indeed dreamt towards stitching the party together. It is however vague in the eyes of many political analyts as the public see this to be a window dressing of the issues.

How could you have taken such a move towards a unity match without the National chairman and secretary of the party?

Notwithstanding, Nana mentioned a word am still searching for better understanding. " Invincible forces".

Where are the invincible forces?
Who created the invincible forces?
Are these invincible forces not allien to the national constitution and that of the NPP?

I think the press conference had exposed more uggly happenings in the NPP, the party I admire so much under opposition. Many of us cannot determine the capability and commitment of Nana with regards to uniting the party from a possible fragmentation. Where is Bawumia the messaih of the NPP? May be he was there because you and I were not there. He could have garnished the issues to look better for us.

There again, Nana Addo who was supposed to be very specific with the acidic murder of Mahama Adams which deepen further cracks, rather engaged in equalization by blowing ashes into the boiling soup of the elephant.

Why was he making reference to the death of the Nkwanta South DCE?. It is laughable that, he was employing diversionary tactics by trying to compare apples to oranges in the market. After realising that, he performed poorly in his presentation, journalists were not allowed to ask questions. What sort of press conference is this that, questions were not allowed by the journalists who represented the interest of the Ghanaian public?

I think the integrity of Nana has deteriorated and his image building process demands more commitment than lips services. Let me create the indulgence of the NPP here again that, you can never eat your cake and have it.

Anyway, I think some people are going through self-imposed punishment because when you carry rotten carcass to your abode, expect the house flies to visit you.

I urge the council of elders of the NPP to take pragmatic steps to resolving the issues than allowing Nana to inject poison into the hot waters of the party. That is the only way of preventing the party from collapsing. You and I must have an interest because the NPP is the largest opposition party in a waiting to capture political power. The NPP would be stronger if it is able to deal with this issue once and for all.

Let me also advise the NPP to forget of the 2016 elections and seriously work towards engaging in a reconciliation and reconstruction process and persue the agenda 2020. This would help the party with ample time to finding a lasting solution to the problems.

It is better late than never.
