Let's hold our party in high esteem - Aspiring NPP National Youth Organiser

Aspiring National Youth Organiser of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dominic Eduah has called on all government appointees to eschew arrogance and abuse of office as that can help the party maintain political power and thereby breaking the eight years political cycle of change of governments.

He was speaking at the party’s Youth Conference in Takoradi over the weekend.

The Deputy National Youth Organiser said, “the struggle for power was not an easy one, some families lost their loved ones, party members died, some lost their jobs, Tescon members left their academics to campaign in the hinterlands, some party members were accident casualties, violence was meted out on some of our volunteers. The least that we can do is to acknowledge these sacrifices and for government appointees to use the opportunity offered them to help party people”.

He further stated that he had decided not to take up any government appointment because “the government is a gift but the party is our own".

This decision, he said is to enable him stay in the NPP to continue working hard to consolidate the party’s electoral gains.

“I believe if we have a vibrant party structure it will translate into the performance of the government and will improve our electoral fortunes in 2020 and beyond. We need hard working grassroots mobilizers to avoid the "Lame Horse" experience,” he said.

The event was organised by the Western Regional Youth Wing of the NPP to acknowledge the contributions of the youth in the region in the 2016 Presidential and Parliamentary elections that saw Candidate Nana Akufo-Addo becoming president and the party winning 168 seats in parliament.

It was also to afford the top party hierarchy the opportunity to explain key government initiatives and the way forward for the New Patriotic Party Youth Wing.

The event was attended by government and party officials such as the National Youth Organiser, Sammi Awuku, the Deputy Executive Director of NSS, Henry Nana Boakye, Member of Parliament for Takoradi Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, among others
