PAP Members Pay A Courtesy Call on Nana Akufo-Addo
A 13-man contingent of the Patriotic Ambassadors for Peace (PAP), a new volunteer group in the NPP, paid a courtesy call on the Party's flag-bearer, Nana Akufo-Addo at his Ringway Estate Office in Accra on Wednesday, February 3, 2016.
The purpose of the meeting was to officially outdoor PAP to the flag-bearer and to assure him of the Group's voluntary support in the 2016 electioneering campaign.
In the presentation, the National Coordinator of PAP, Katakyie Kwame Opoku Agyemang, outlined PAP's objective, which is to bring peace in the NPP, bridge the class gap, and more importantly canvass for votes for Nana Akufo-Addo and NPP Parliamentary Candidates to win power in 2016.
Again, the flag-bearer was briefed on PAP's intended activities, which is to embark an outreach programmes in some selected orphan constituencies in Upper West, Ashanti, and Greater Accra Regions, using megaphones, local information centres, flyers, and personal contacts to preach the vision of Nana Akufo-Addo to the electorate.
"We'll preach your good message of building a society of equal opportunities, where no child would go hungry to bed or leave school because of poverty", Katakyie re-echoed Nana Addo's patriotic words.
The PAP executives presented three (3) specially designed PAP T-shirts to the flag-bearer so that he could become a PAPer himself. Later, the participants were asked to introduce themselves individually stating their positions in PAP and NPP, as well as, their constituencies. The National Coordinator expressed his heartfelt gratitude and that of the Group to Nana Addo for consuming 30 minutes of his time. According to Katakyie, PAP's membership now stands at 200 in all the 10 regions and abroad and that, each of them had already arisen for the crucial change this year.
On his part, the NPP flag-bearer praised the leadership of PAP for the great vision. He stated; "I am so impressed with this particular visit, especially by a Group that is being led by Katakyie himself; and since the youth would be the direct beneficiaries of my presidency, God willing, it is a blessing that PAP had been outdoored at this crucial time". This attracted an applause from the members.
Nana Addo further stressed the need for volunteerism in this year's campaign and charged Katakyie to liaise with Mr. Andrew Kwasi Frimpong, the National Volunteer Coordinator in the NPP Campaign Team to streamline PAP's activities. He further advised that his doors were fully open for more of such visits and that, PAPers should never hesitate to approach him when the need arises.
Nana Addo reiterated his determination to bring hope to Ghanaians by implementing the right programmes and policies when elected as president. He expressed shock at the bad management class of president Mahama in spite of the abundant resources at his disposal. Nana Addo thus appealed to the Ghanaian voter population to trust and give him the mandate this time around so that together, we could build a prosperous nation devoid of greed and corruption.
Present at the meeting was Mr. Francis Asenso-Boakye, Political Assistant to Nana Addo.
