A founding member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby has lauded Ghana\u2019s former President, John Agyekum Kufuor saying his personality separates the NPP from the NDC.<\/p>\n
Dr. Wereko-Brobby said this in an interview on\u00a0the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n When asked by show host, Bernard Koku Avle the difference between the NDC and NPP, Dr. Wereko-Brobby gladly said \u201cthe difference is John Agyekum Kufuor.\u201d<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”7zDVr2cmuiAXt2IE6KgO0JkQy9MQAXqV”]He said the former president defied the odds and rose to become the presidential candidate of the NPP and managed to bring the party into power in 2001.<\/p>\n \u201cKufuor had to fight the establishment of NPP to become presidential candidate and president. Kufuor was not the candidate of the party. The party hierarchy was against Kufuor. \u00a0I even heard someone saying now that you have become the candidate we will see how you will fund your campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n John Agyekum Kufuor served as Ghana’s president from 2001 to 2008 when the NDC took over the administration of the state from the NPP.<\/p>\n \u201cKufuor was supposedly the head of the conservative business related party but he finished up doing the socially impactful projects in Ghana. And the reason I\u2019m saying this is that it\u2019s not the [NPP] party, it is Kufuor and his personality and his desire to manage things which in the end came true. I do not believe that any party is organized in such a way that there is some kind of collective leadership that is able to do anything,” he added.<\/p>\n
