PNC Must Prove Capable Of Governing - Says Wilson Jnr

The National Youth Organiser of the People’s National Convention, Mr Emmanuel Wilson Jnr, has said the 2012 election presents an opportunity to create and build in the Ghanaian electorate that the PNC is worth giving the chance to govern the affairs of the nation.

He said the PNC had seen tremendous ups and downs since its inception in 1992, saying that “ as our two great founders, Dr Kwame Nkrumah and Dr Hilla Limann, taught us, ‘organisation decides all’, we must ensure that we have in place a national organiser who understands the exigency and the significance of organisation.

Mr Wilson is contesting for the position of national organiser at the party’s congress scheduled for November 25-27 in Sunyani, the Brong Ahafo capital..

In a chat with the Daily Graphic, he declared “What is unique about the party is its ability to stand the test of time, because many of its colleague political parties who came into existence just around the same period that PNC was born, have ceased to be in existence.”

He said that notwithstanding these capacities of the PNC to stand the test of time, the casualties that the party had experienced over the past period was in no doubt major and cannot be overlooked; for which he indicated the PNC must work to ensure it created and built in the Ghanaian populace the confidence and hope that the party was worth given a chance to govern the affairs of the state.

On why he is seeking the position of a national organiser of the PNC, Mr Wilson pointed out that as a national organiser he would ensure that all organisational activities of the party were result oriented.

Additionally, he said he would ensure that all organisational programmes of the party were developed to be constituency and regional specific.

This point of reference has, over the past period, given me the drive and zeal to have currently visited and interacted with over two-thirds of the 230 constituencies across the country, and “I am happy to announce that I am still doing more visitations and interactions,” he stated.

The purposes of these engagements, according to Mr Wilson, have placed him to have a first hand information on what confronts the various constituencies. saying the PNC was in a position to elect an informed National Organiser who would drive the PNC party from where it was to where it was suppose to be- through grass root organisation.

As a national organiser, the PNC is going to empower its grass-root members, by engaging itself in two major activities, thus, developing a short term programme, in relation to the upcoming 2012 general election and a long term programme in relation to the direction of the PNC after the 2012 election, he stated.

Touching on his six pillar agenda, he said when elected into office he would build a new identity for the PNC, put the right and ideal structures on the ground, work to increase human resource base as well as build a stronger channel of communication, a wide parliamentary base and strengthen the national and regional and constituency relationship, he assured.

He declared that the PNC is on the verge to make history from 25th – 27th November in Sunyani and must be on the verge to present itself as a party ready to form the next government.

He called on the delegates to make history by voting for him as the next national organiser of the PNC.

Don’t be left out. Be on board. Vote for a progressive mind. Vote for a symbol of unity. Together we shall make a difference. Together, the PNC shall make a positive history, he posited.
