The United Nkrumaist Front (UNF), has stated that a united front will give it a political leverage to contest in future elections to capture power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
It said it sought to unite all Nkrumaist under one umbrella with the ideologies of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah as an identity to help move the nation for reforms and change for the citizenry and generations unborn.
In furtherance of that, it has embarked on series of unity talks across the country to place all Nkrumaist families under a single umbrella, tradition’s inability to be strong alternative in political governance and gain political power due to ‘fragmentation’, thus move to unite all members.
Michael Nketiah, Secretary of the Front, addressing some members of the Front at a conference in Ho, in the Volta Region, stated that it was time for all faithful of Nkrumah-Egala-Limann tradition to rise up and embrace call for unity to protect tradition against extinction.
He noted that it was to forestall Dr Nkrumah’s legacies from being wiped away, prevent two-party state, not leaving any stone unturned in journey to unite all members, cohesion was paramount in reviving tradition and gaining political power to continue with his ideas.
“The Front is poised to fight and restore true legacies of Dr Nkrumah through re-engineering of his time-tested pioneering policies for holistic development of citizens in tandem with physical transformation of the state at large, believes in ideas of Dr Nkrumah, and will take every necessary measure to actualise the ideas.
“For Ghanaians to achieve their potentials through quality education with science, creative arts, technology and patriotism as foundation, the Front will also ensure efficient and effective utilisation of natural resources to obtain economic freedom, provide access to quality healthcare and undertake industrialisation through mechanised agriculture.
Nii Adjetey Sowah, National Administrator, Convention People’s Party, (CPP) underscored importance of the conference to sensitise and educate members on the need to unite to win the confidence of electorates who held the mandate to give them the political power they were yearning for.
“The legacy of authoritarianism in political parties, overall organisation of society, makes it imperative new democratic ethic must be guiding light that informs and inspires party leaders, committed, determination and dedicated to bring about democratic change”, he stressed. -GNA
