Founder and leader of Patriot Ghana, Kwesi Korang, a group affiliated with the New Patriotic Party (NPP), voiced his concern that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has left the party divided despite his achievements for the country.
Speaking on Frontline on Rainbow Radio on February 12, 2024, Korang expressed the view that Akufo-Addo, unlike former President Kufour, has not proven to be a unifier within the party. He pointed out that Kufour successfully united the party after being elected as a presidential candidate, even bringing on board individuals who initially opposed his candidacy.
Korang highlighted the contrast by stating, “But that is not the case today. Today, even when you are far away, you will be able to discover that there is division in the party.”
Acknowledging Akufo-Addo’s governance achievements, such as the construction of schools, hospitals, and roads, Korang emphasized the importance of addressing the bitterness and division within the party for overall success.
He urged President Akufo-Addo to focus on uniting the party, stating, “He has failed to put his own house in order. If he can build the party, the blessings, and appreciation he seeks will come to him.”
In conclusion, Korang stated, “Akufo-Addo is aware he has failed to unite the party. If he were candid and truthful, he would admit to this fact. Those who are his assigns and associates are aware that Akufo-Addo has failed in uniting us.”
