If you want NPP's success support Akufo-Addo - Atta Akyea tells party members

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Abuakwa-South constituency in the Eastern Region has urged members of the party to support the candidature of Nana Akufo-Addo if they have the party's progress at heart.

Speaking on behalf of some Members of Parliament who declared their support for Nana Akufo-Addo during his tour of the region, Samuel Atta-Akyea explained that the time has come for every single member of NPP to throw their weight behind the 2012 flagbearer to once again become the party's presidential candidate.

Stating claims that none of the other flagbearer aspirants was ripe for the job, the Abuakwa-South legislaotor categorically stated that persons within the party, especially those from the Eastern Region, who do not support Akufo-Addo's candidature, are highly possessed by witchcraft.

He said if after all the suffering the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government has brought on Ghanaians NPP members in the region “don't want a president [from the region]…so that we [party members] become ministers…then that witchcraft is indeed a bad one'', he stated.

Mr. Atta-Akyea further claimed that the other persons contesting Nana Akuffo-Addo are aware that they will lose the congress, but are still begging for votes.

“We in the Eastern Region are scoring at least 96% for Nana Akufo-Addo and share the 4% for them [other aspirants]. Don't be deceived by anybody, Nana Akufo-Addo must get 96%. We should do it big for Nana Akufo-Addo so that everybody will admit that we in the Eastern Region are ready for a president”, Mr.Atta-Akyea said.
