Nobody in NPP can stop me from praising Alan – Solomon Owusu

A member of the ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP) Communications Team, Solomon Owusu has stated that no one can stop him from publicly singing the praises of the Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen in the media.

Mr Owusu’s consistent heaping of praise on Mr Alan Kyeremateng who has an eye on the party’s 2024 Flagbearer position is becoming a bother to some party members as they see that to be a subtle way of campaigning for Alan when the party has not opened nominations.

But Mr Solomon Owusu speaking on Agoo TV/Agoo TV Ghana Kasa show hosted by Bonohene Baffuor Awuah stated that he’s not campaigning for Alan Kyerematen to anyone because delegates who’ll vote in the party’s primaries are yet to be selected, adding that he’s only expressing his opinion about the venerable politician.

“The love I have to Alan Kyerematen nobody can take away and nobody can tell me that I should not praise him. People are very worried when I praise him but why should it be so? Others should also praise the individuals they love. In football, when you go to the stadium there are many cameras. Some are set on the supports, others on goal-line technology. My camera in this government is set on Alan Kyerematen, I know only stuff about him, I don’t know about anyone else. So if I praise him, he’s not an NDC or CPP member, he’s a dyed in the wool NPP member so whatever positive I say about him it is to the credit of the government. This is trite law.”

But Mr Solomon Owusu who’s an avowed loyalist of Mr Alan Kyerematen has previously stated that nothing will stop the Minister of Trade and Industry from becoming the party’s Flagbearer for the 2024 elections and ultimately the President of Ghana.

He believes the latter is the heir apparent to President Akufo Addo and no spokes should be put in his wheels in achieving this feat.

“Who God has blessed no man curse, nothing can stop the coming of Alan Kyerematen as NPP’s next Flagbearer and ultimately being Ghana’s next President. Even if he’s on his sickbed he’ll occupy the Presidency and the ongoing plot to block him must stop as it’s an exercise in futility. The grassroots and the patriots who have toiled for the NPP are calling for Alan Kyerematen because this is his time to lead the party. Every party that wants to win elections you pick a leader from your base, this is trite knowledge you don’t need a Solomon like me to tell you,” he said on Ghana Kasa show on Agoo TV/Kasapa FM.

Internal jolting in the quest to seek a replacement for Akufo Addo whose tenure as President expires in the next four years has started quite early within the ruling New Patriotic Party.
