Circumspection- Key to Successful Congress

07-07-2011
A Senior Cadre of the National Democratic Congress, Alagskoma Asakeya Noble has appealed to delegates in the upcoming presidential primaries in Sunyani to extend their mandate to elect a committed, visionary and result oriented leader, who posses leadership qualities capable of leading the party to victory come 2012. Mr. Asakeya Noble, who made the call in an interview with Radio Ghana’s Isaac Asare at Bolgatanga, also urged supporters of the sitting President, His Excellency, Prof. John Evans Attah Mills and his number one contender in the party’s presidential race, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings to desist from utterances that have the tendency of generating rancour and acrimony in the party, but rather remain focus and stay united as a formidable force ready to retain power in the next general elections. He said it is high time the party shun all divisive tendencies and stick to the party’s principles and ideals of achieving a better Ghana for all. He also underscored the urgent need to ensure a free and fair congress devoid of intimidation, bribery and corruption. This to him is the key to successful congress. Mr. Asakeya Noble moreover, entreated delegates to refrain from electoral malpractices and see themselves as one people fighting for a common goal. According to him, the chances of retaining power will be largely based on the congress. He said many people; particularly members of the opposition NPP are anticipating that the party will tear apart after the congress and therefore, cautioned delegates to conduct themselves well to prevent the opposition from getting a campaign message.
