National Organiser of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammi Awuku, has cautioned members of the party against complacency ahead of this year’s general elections.
Although many
prophets have predicted that the party would win the 2020 general elections, he
insisted that the prophecies in favour of the NPP should be seen as motivation
to work even harder.
Reacting to a litany of prophecies on 31st
December 2019 during watch-night church services by some prophets on the
outcome of the 2020 election, the National Organiser admitted that prophecies
which were in favour of the party were good, but were not enough to win an
election.
“As National Organiser of the New Patriotic
Party, I am certain that prophecy alone will not win any political party or
candidate an election anywhere in the world especially if the public refrains
from the entire electoral process,” he stated, urging the NPP to continue to
embrace hard work.
He rehashed a position held by many, including
former President Kufuor, that the NPP is not selling its achievements enough,
calling for much work to trumpet the achievements of the Akufo-Addo
administration.
“To my NPP Patriots, let us not get too swayed
and complacent with the many prophecies that predicted an emphatic victory for
the NPP in 2020.
But instead, let it serve as a motivation to
move beyond our comfort zone to support the Party and Government to communicate
the extraordinary achievements of President Nana Akufo-Addo led administration
within the past 3yrs of being in charge of the destiny of our beloved country,”
he admonished.
Mr. Awuku then advised members of the NPP
against being angered by the prophecies that have gone against them, stating that
those predictions are meant to test their resolve and determination.
“Again, let’s not be infuriated by the few
Prophecies that predicted an unexpected outcome for the President and our
would-be Flagbearer for 2020. It is only meant to test our resolve and
determination to achieve another feat.”
