The New Patriotic Party flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo has cautioned members of the party to desist from discussing internal matters in the media, expressing fears that it could\u00a0affect the fortunes of the party in the lead-up to the 2016 elections.<\/p>\n

Nana Akufo-Addo made the comment in Oda, during his \u201cRise and Build Tour\u201d in\u00a0the Eastern Region, on Monday.<\/p>\n

Addressing party faithful, consisting of constituency executives, parliamentary candidates and party sympathisers from 8 constituencies, Nana Addo expressed his deep concern about the raging \u2018media battle\u2019 being waged by some members of the party on internal party issues.<\/p>\n

\"nana<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very concerned about what is happening (in the party). I have made a clear decision in my mind that we will have to resolve these issues. The radio campaign in our party is not helping any of us. Let us stop discussing NPP matters on the radio,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”I4E3WYZHPyiI5cY9ULfLSGW8rzChAboq”]He urged NPP members not to be provoked into responding to any issue bordering on internal party matters, convinced that \u201cif no one gives any credence to the matters that are being discussed, that matter will die. When responses to these issues come from us that is when the matter degenerates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nana Akufo-Addo admonished NPP members to \u201cmake a resolution [that] no more radio campaign in the NPP. The problems will have to be resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n

The General Secretary of the party, Kwabena Agyepong, stoked the fire in a radio interview on Monday, claiming that he had been kept in\u00a0the dark about Nana Addo’s tour.<\/p>\n

According to him, he only realised the flagbearer was in the Volta Region for the ‘Rise and Build’ when he read the news on the internet<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Operation 70% in Eastern Region<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

To the regional and constituency executives, as well as the 8 parliamentary candidates and their competitors from the Lower West Akyem, Akwatia, Kade, Asene Manso Akroso, Achiase, Akim Swedru, Oda, and Ofoase\/Ayirebi constituencies, Nana Akufo-Addo charged them to ensure that the NPP wins not less than 70% of the popular vote in 2016<\/p>\n

The performance of the NPP in the Eastern Region, he noted, would determine the outcome of the election of 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know of the \u2018Agenda 50\/50\u2019 project of the NDC. Our project is different. We are looking for 70% of the popular vote in the Eastern Region in 2016. The time has come that the NPP demonstrated its strength in the Eastern Region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He urged the gathering to evolve strategies which would neutralise the obvious \u201ctribal campaign\u201d the NDC would wage in the Eastern Region in the run-up to the 2016 election.<\/p>\n

Nana Akufo-Addo explained that, as per the 2010 census, the Eastern Region has a population of 2.5 million people, comprising of 1.3 million people of Akan origin and 1.2 million non-Akan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are coming to wage a tribal campaign in the Eastern Region, that\u2019s why they are talking about \u2018Agenda 50\/50\u2019. We cannot allow them to do that. We have to build a coalition of all the people of the Eastern Region. Eastern Region contains all tribes in the region. It is a microcosm of Ghana, Ghana in one region. Our campaign, understanding and strategy has to be as if we are fighting a Ghanaian election in the Eastern Region,\u201d Nana Akufo-Addo added.<\/p>\n

He urged the gathering to take the advice of Gifty Klenam, Member of Parliament for Lower West Akim, who spoke earlier about the need for\u00a0NPP members to undertake a rigorous outreach programmes\u00a0to bring the majority of inhabitants of the Eastern Region to\u00a0the NPP.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we are going to build a coalition, then it must start from the Eastern Region. We have to put our house in order. I urge all aspirants, current and former executives, former Ministers and DCEs to come together and help us win the next election,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
