Dr. Samuel Sarpong, Former Ashanti Regional Minister in the elsewhere John Dramani Mahama’s administration has said the NDC’s common enemy is the corrupt administration of the ruling New Patriotic Party.
According to him, the party can only overpower their enemy (NPP) only if they join hands as one people and work towards saving the destiny of this country which is currently bleeding under the vicious hands of the NPP.
Dr. Samuel Sarpong revealed that, it is now an open secret that President John Dramani Mahama is not only an obvious choice to lead NDC to victory in the next elections but an acclaimed popular and competent leader that Ghanaians expect to save the country from NPP’s evil hands.
On the basis of this, it is Dr. Sarpong’s opinion that there is no need for members of the great NDC to contest John Dramani Mahama, even though as a democratic party, internal contest is highly encouraged at all levels.
The former Kumasi mayor under late Prof. John Evans Atta Mills administration however maintained that, without any prejudice to the rights of persons who may be nurturing any ambition to challenge the former President, John Dramani Mahama, in the party’s presidential primaries, it is Dr. Sarpong’s candid advice that such resources be reserved to support the campaign of the NDC during the general elections since the obvious and strategic choice for NDC is nobody but John Dramani Mahama.
Dr. Samuel Sarpong made this known yesterday at Anita Hotel in Ejisu -Ashanti Region in an address delivered during the 4TH Annual Summit of The NDC Professionals Forum.
Dr. Sarpong while commending both the old and young professionals gathered at the summit for putting their professional expertise at the disposal of the party, he encourages them to continue to stand firm in defense of the legacies of NDC.
He entreated them to make a solid resolution to join the vast majority of NDC supporters nationwide to protect the ballot boxes from polling centres to the collation centres until NDC is declared winner in fulfilment of the wishes of the Ghanaian voter.
Dr. Samuel Sarpong concluded by preaching unity of purpose among all members of the NDC. He added that the battle in election 2024 elections will be a tough one if the NDC do not confront it with a united front. This is where he wants members to reserve all their arsenals towards the course rather preoccupying themselves with any destructive tendencies during their internal elections.
He therefore sends a strong signal to the NPP that, never again, will the NDC allow the sovereign will of the Ghanaian voter to short changed.
This he said is a promise not open for negotiations, but pure and simple.
