The New Patriotic Party (NPP) will on Sunday begin a one week of fasting and prayer session to seek God\u2019s intervention in the “crisis” within the party.<\/p>\n

This was announced by flag bearer of the party, Nana Akufo-Addo at a press conference in Accra on Friday.<\/p>\n

The National Women\u2019s Organiser of the NPP, Otiko Djaba speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show\u00a0<\/strong>suggested that the NPP should declare a day \u00a0to fast and pray to help deliver the party from what she describes as “demon of confusion.<\/a><\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

Speaking to the press at the Party\u2019s headquarters on Friday, Nana Addo endorsed the call.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”CJqCrZeILT1DcNF4z2zCdbZjuT73fQOx”]\u201c\u2026We\u00a0should all embrace the laudable initiative of the National Women\u2019s Organiser who is launching, as from this Sunday, here at the party headquarters, a week of fasting and prayers for the welfare of the NPP. I have no doubt that, with the help of Almighty God and by our collective determination, the storms that are currently buffeting the great, historic movement that the NPP represents will soon subside, so that it can fulfill its mission of developing our nation in freedom,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nana Addo was speaking at the press conference to calm tensions which have arisen after the death of Upper East Regional Chairman<\/a><\/strong><\/span> of the NPP, Adam Mahama.<\/p>\n

Adam Mahama died after he was attacked with an acid about a week ago.<\/p>\n

There have been calls for the resignation of the National Chairman, Paul Afoko and General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong since his death.<\/p>\n

Kennedy Agyapong had predicted the possible collapse of the NPP<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, if the\u00a0party\u2019s National Chairman, Paul Afoko and General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong are not prosecuted for the killing of Adam Mahama.<\/p>\n

Earlier, former President, John Agyekum Kufuor\u00a0called on the NPP members to\u00a0stop fighting each other in the media<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

He cautioned party members against \u201cacrimonious accusations in the media\u201d which he said \u201conly serve to further divide their ranks and allow heir detractors to infiltrate them.\u201d<\/p>\n

I will tolerate no chaos<\/strong><\/p>\n

He further called for calm saying, \u201cI will not tolerate chaos within our party. The recriminations against ourselves in this period of healing, I repeat, must stop.\u201d<\/p>\n
