As the NPP deals with growing internal strife among its members, Patrick Yaw Boamah, the Okaikwei Central Member of Parliament, has fervently urged former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Akufo-Addo to step in and help stabilize the party. I respect the MP’s worries and concern about the party’s emerging conflicts and the significant increase in disputes endangering its future. However, why should the MP Patrick Yaw Boamah invite the two former leaders to intervene in the crisis?
Even though some NPP politicians objected to the idea, others had faith in Akufo-Addo and placed their trust in him. However, I have repeatedly stated that in the brothel industry, if you put a pimp in charge of a company and give him all the tools he needs to succeed, the business will still fail because the pimp has no idea how to make a business succeed but knows how to pimp and take money from the women he controls. People who lack leadership skills use corruption in this way to ruin a country.
Both Akufo-Addo and John Kufuor have little regard for Ghanaians and are less concerned with the NPP since they are more focused on corruption and their own interests. Today, political conflict within the party is a result of the wrongdoings of the two former presidents. Anything that people plant will sprout so they can benefit from it. If Kufuor truly cared about Ghanaians, he wouldn’t have sat in his home for eight years in support of Akufo-Addo’s most oppressive and corrupt administration in modern history.
Akufo-Addo is responsible for the divisions inside the NPP party and the disputes among its members. Every institution and government has a leader who is in charge of everything; even in football, the coach is held accountable rather than the players if the team is ineffective. When in office, Akufo-Addo was a terrible leader who polarized the party. Don’t argue with me that the idea of “Agyapadie governance” was to bring Ghanaians together, because it only applied to a small portion of a tribe.
There wouldn’t be a crisis inside the NPP if Akufo-Addo had been a better leader and had been truthful, as he assured Ghanaians throughout the campaign. Six months after the NPP lost the elections, Ghanaians are seeing what never happened in eight years while the NDC was in the opposition. In addition to engaging in state capture, corruption, and money laundering based on the Agyapadie ideology, Akufo-Addo also treated the populace with inhumanity, disdain, and arrogance.
MP Stephen Amoah wants to persuade Ghanaians to believe that “Christians don’t vote for Muslims,” which is why the NPP lost the 2024 elections. However, he has forgotten that he was the one who cried for Ghanaians, claiming that they are suffering under the NDC. Not only has he forgotten that he warned Ghanaians that “whether they like it or not, the E-Levy will be passed,” but he has also forgotten that he is the same man who attempted to split the country’s citizens by claiming that they are suffering because Nkrumah married a foreigner.
You see, MP Patrick Yaw Boamah, I’m demonstrating to you the roots of the NPP’s issues, which grew out of control since that’s what both Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and John Kufuor not only stood for but encouraged throughout the NPP’s governance. Along with ruthless and corrupt NPP politicians like Ken Ofori-Atta, Akufo-Addo stacked the Supreme Court with the highest number of judges and did as he pleased, while NPP politicians like Kennedy Agyapong and Mahamudu Bawumia stood up for him.
The NPP member’s disputes and the threat of the collapse of the party are not, in my opinion, a crisis, but rather the investigations of AG Ayine and the office of the special prosecutor into the NPP’s biggest corruption issues, which they prefer not to discuss. Since the victor of the NPP presidential contest has no chance of winning any Ghanaian presidential seat, the NPP’s dilemma is how to win the public’s trust so they will vote for them in the future. Bawumia and Agyapong should put an end to their feud.
The NPP has been the worst government in Ghana’s political history, with the goal of destroying the country through state theft and embezzlement. In my opinion, MP Patrick Yaw Boamah should be concerned about this issue since Ghanaians would not vote for the NPP in the next 20 years. Nothing at all will persuade them to vote for Agyapong or Bawumia. Ghanaians may likely become even more disenchanted with the NPP as a result of the other shocking corruption scandals yet to come.
Lastly, MP Boamah should rather approach Dr. Nyaho-Nyaho Tamakloe, the former football administrator and politician, to step in and help with any issue the NPP is having. He is the only one who expressed worry about the NPP’s corrupt practices and offered a lot of advice, but he was disrespected and attacked like everyone else attempting to reform the party. I doubt, anyway, if he will respond because the NPP didn’t appreciate his attempts to help the party; rather, he was branded a traitor.
