NPP-USA Revitalizes Chapter in NJ

Name the US State where in 1991, citizen John A. Kufuor introduced himself and began to build a machinery to support the realization of his dream to be Ghana’s democratically elected President?

While you are thinking about that, name the US State where the Deputy Coordinator of NPP-North America who introduced NPP to the US and Canada and run for the Party’s Presidential Candidate in 2007 (hint- Boakye Agyarko) lived?

If you answered New Jersey to both questions, you are right and you will be heartened to learn that on Sunday August 24, 2008, New Jersey revitalized its Chapter of NPP-USA to offer the patriots of the Garden State closer links to NPP. “NPP in America started in New Jersey and we are happy and proud to reclaim our premier position” so said the Interim Chairman, Mr. Stephen Oduro who updated the audience on the current Ghana campaign activities.

Both veteran and new supporters of NPP showed up with enthusiasm to witness the re-birth of the New Jersey Chapter. The attendees affirmed their support for the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia ticket and promised to do their part to ensure presidential and parliamentary victories for NPP in the December 2008 elections. In an address read on behalf of the NPP-USA Chairman, Mr. Kofi A. Boateng, who himself “hails from New Jersey by way of Sawuah”, the members of the New Jersey Chapter were congratulated and thanked for their steadfast support of NPP activities and urged to continue their commitment by making their contributions to the “2 by 1” initiative.

The interim officers are: Stephen Oduro (Chairman), Mike Amoo-Adjei (Vice Chairman), Kwabena Appiah, (Treasurer), Okofo Ofori-Agyeman (Organizer), Godfried Ebo Arthur (Public Relations Officer) and Mimi Amy Payne (Organizing Secretary).

The next general meeting will be held on September 28, 2008 and venue will be communicated soon.
