The tradition we belong to is called the Danquah-Dombo-Busia tradition. Dombo hailed from the north. Jato kaleo, Abaayifa Karbo, Yakubu Tali, B.K.Adama, Imoro Salifu, C.K. Tedam, were all northerners who stated our party,” said the flagbearer of the NPP Nana Akufo-Addo. While addressing a meeting of muslim clerics and chiefs of settler communities of Derma, in the tano south constituency in the Brong Ahafo Region, on Sunday, Feburary 21, Nana Addo said”In my attempt at the presidency, I have struck with my running mate, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who comes from Walewale and is also a Muslim” Mr. Akufo-Addo noted, adding”President kufuor, before he won the 2000 election, and during the entire tenure of office, whose chose a running mate from the north, in the person of the late alhaji aliu mahama, who hailed from Yendi.” So, if anybody says the NPP hates northerners and Muslims, it can never be true. The records do not show that.”
Accompanied by the national and regional party stalwarts,
Nana Akufo-Addo explained that the NPP as an “anti-nothern “party by political
opponents.
Thus, the NPP, according to Nana Akufo-Addo, has now decided
to aggressively campaign in all settler communities across the country, so as
to dispel this false notion, with barely 8 months to holding of the November
elections.
Nana
Akufo-Addo tld the chiefs that “this
type of anti-NPP sentiments only surface during elections,”adding that”when
ther are no elections, we live in this country peacefully and harmoniously. These
are done purely for electoral advantage.”
He
therefore urged them to ignore this typr of politicking, but rather vote for
candidates and political parties whose sole aim in office will be to better the
lives of Ghanaians, through the institution of effective policies.
