Justin Frimpong Kodua
BARELY 48 hours after the New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s national executives’ election ended at the Accra Sports Stadium, newly-elected General Secretary, Lawyer Justin Frimpong Kodua (JFK), has spelt out his plans to unite the rank and file of the party in all the 16 regions.
Speaking on Kumasi-based Akoma FM yesterday, he said this would ensure all members of the party work together to secure victory for the NPP in the 2024 general election.
“The NPP election, which was a family affair, is over now, therefore the focus should be on the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, which we would surely win with a united front,” he boldly declared.
According to him, there were no winners and losers in the NPP polls, pointing out that the elections were over now so party members and sympathisers should direct their attention towards the 2024 general election.
“The elections are over and I have forgiven anybody that I offended me during the heat of the campaign. Anyone that I unintentionally offended during the campaign period should also forgive and forget.
“All we need now as a political party, is total unity and peace, so that we can strategise effectively and work to ensure that the eight-year reign of parties in political office is broken in 2024,” he indicated.
According to Kodua, he would not lord himself over the people as the chief scribe but would be accessible to all and practise an open administration.
“I am coming to serve the NPP. I am a grassroots man therefore, I will dedicate my time and energy to faithfully serve my beloved political party so that we can collectively work to break the 8,” he said.
Justin Kodua, whose main agenda is to properly lead the NPP to retain political power, said he would consult his predecessors when the need arises, so that he could tap their expertise to benefit the NPP.
“I have already spoken to my predecessors like John Boadu and Dan Botwe. I made them aware that I would not hesitate to consult them for advice and directions when it becomes appropriate,” he disclosed.
