The former National Co-ordinator of the National Youth Council, Dr. Sekou Nkrumah, has asked the general public, especially members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) not to misconstrue the portrait which was carried on the front page of the Daily Guide newspaper today.
According to him, political barriers should not bar people from engaging in a chit-chat or in sharing ideas.
Conveying some sense of humour, Dr. Sekou Nkrumah stated that Nana Addo could not woo him into the NPP; hence “it was the other way round”.
The Daily Guide newspaper on Wednesday featured the son of Ghana's first president in a hearty chat with Nana Addo, the NPP's presidential candidate for elections 2012, on its front page.
Speaking on the Gold NewsPaper Review on Radio Gold, Sekou Nkrumah stated that he was still with the NDC and would whole-heartedly support any candidate the party presents in 2012.
Briefing Alhassan Suhini, host of the programme, Dr. Sekou Nkrumah said that though the performance of the NDC government was not “impressive”, he could not envisage a “change in leadership” within the party to make things right.
Touching on the upcoming 2012 General Elections, Mr. Sekou Nkrumah, who described Nana Akufo Addo as a healthy and a charismatic person who was fully prepared for the elections, however, added that he could not stick his neck out and predict a winner between the NDC and the NPP.
He advised concerned NDC activists to halt their verbal attacks on him when he “suggested that President Atta Mills would go for one term”, pointing out that Ghana had passed the era of political intimidation and as such people were free to express their opinions.
“…expressing your opinion freely is healthy for the country and shows we are brothers and sisters,” he said.
