Nana Akufo-ADDO thanks all of you who are busy vilifying him today and blaming him for our defeat.
I am sure you would all have given him the credit if we had won.
Thank you for saying the man who held this party together for 8 years in opposition and 8 years in government, actively worked to ensure that his vice president, whom he had helped throughout their 16 year close relationship, lost.
Never mind that his final ambition was to hand over to an NPP president and he said so often.
The man who financed all structures of the party every month for 8 years, sending monthly allowances to every constituency, region and national office, hates the NPP.
Not to mention the monthly top up he provided for all MP’s for 8 years, which was more than our take home pay. We now say he wanted to destroy the party he sweated to help build? Thank you.
The man who kept the lights on, our children in school, provided jobs for countless people, built more roads than any of his predecessors among others is now being seen as the worst villain. He thanks you all.
If after a lifetime of sacrifice for democracy, the rule of law and building our political brand, we can look him in the face or call him all manner of names behind his back, he says no problem.
He accepts all the blame.
Just because he could not appoint every one of the 4 million plus core supporters and sympathisers of the NPP to positions in his government, those who didn’t get appointments or were dissatisfied in one way or the other blame him.
That’s fine.
Like all humans, he also made mistakes but we expected more from him because he is super human???
But the question some of us are grappling with now is, if we don’t appreciate the efforts of people like Akufo-ADDO, is the NPP worth dying for?
