Thomas Kusi Boafo, the Chief Executive Officer for Public Sector Reforms, has called on former President John Agyekum Kufuor to take an active role in mediating for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as it seeks to consolidate its support base ahead of the 2024 elections.
Boafo highlighted the need for Kufuor's intervention to help bring back members who have drifted away or are reluctant to support the party's efforts to retain power.
He described Kufuor as a central figure in the Fourth Republic of Ghana.
“Now we are left with few people to come and join the campaign team because Bawumia is involving everybody. For today, I will say this: Kufuor has to put his feet on the ground. It has been ringing in my head for a long time.
“He has to start calling certain people. That is how I see it, for him to talk to them in secrecy because no matter what we do in this Fourth Republic, Kufuor was the shine for everybody.
“He gave Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo the position to become Attorney General and Minister of Justice, and the experience he had is the one that is helping him in his presidency,” he said in an interview on Wontumi TV.
He urged Kufuor to engage with key individuals privately.
“Look at the lawhouse that he has built; I am not sure we can see a similar one in any of the African countries. And from the Attorney General, he made him Foreign Minister. So, Nana Akufo-Addo is also a Kufuor breed. He also promoted Bawumia until he became the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana for Akufo-Addo to see him and make him his running mate.
“So, look, the Fourth Republic, everything surrounds Kufuor. So, based on what is going on, he has to wake up because the few people left, want to come,” he added.
