So the PNC cannot restrict Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP from making appointment of people they believe will be able to serve the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Progressive People\u2019s Party\u2019s (PPP), Director of Communications, Paa Kow Ackon, also said the party has always been in support of an all-inclusive government and would also welcome any appointment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe made it clear during the campaign that we are a party that is interested in an all-inclusive administration and we will assemble the best to run the affairs of this country and so if Nana Addo, the president elect feels that members of the PPP can help him achieve his goal, why not? It\u2019s all for the betterment of the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Citi News, the Communications director for the Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP), Kadir Abdul Rauf Issifu, also said the issue was nothing to debate about as it would be for the benefit of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP) for a long period of time has boasted of human resources. So if for the sake of development, the president-elect extends an invitation to the CPP to bring men that could help him realize his (Nana Akufo-Addo) vision for the country, I don\u2019t think that is an invitation that we would want to reject. After all, it is not about the CPP and the NPP.\u201d<br \/>\n&#8211;<br \/>\nBy: Felicia Osei\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barely a day after President-Elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo asked for more time to enable him select ministers for his government; Citi News can confirm that some smaller opposition parties are also looking forward to appointments in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
