The National Organiser of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has emphasised that with the stabilisation of the cedi and fuel prices in the country there is no way the party will be handing over to the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). 

"It will never happen that we the NPP will hand over power to the NDC," he said.

"We will ensure NPP remains in government at all costs, and the economy will fully recover by June or July," he stressed.

The man popularly known as Nana B in political circles made a statement in support of the comment attributed to the Minister of Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong at NPP's Mega Arise & Build Unity Walk on Saturday 8, April, 2023, at Kwahu-Mpraeso in the Eastern Region in a Facebook post on Monday, April 10.

Below is the full statement:  

NANA B: NPP FULLY ENDORSES & SUPPORTS HON BRYAN ACHEAMPONG'S COMMENTS

The NPP fully endorses and supports the entire contents of Hon. Bryan Acheampong's speech or comments made during NPP's Mega Arise & Build Unity Walk on Saturday 8th of April at Kwahu-Mpraeso.

Ostensibly two issues were contained in his speech;

1. Hon. Bryan Acheampong said, “If the NDC dares to use threats and violence during the 2024 election, we will let them know we have the men." Certainly, the state has able uniform men to make sure there is peace and tranquillity in the country. 

This call from Hon Acheampong is important when former President John Dramani Mahama is on record to have recklessly stated on various platforms that the NDC was born out of revolution therefore no one can unleash violence better than the NDC political party for that matter 2024 elections is a do or die affair. 

Again it's a good call when the National Chairman of the NDC Asiedu Nketiah has also stated that "even if the 2024 election will cost the NDC to sacrifice blood, they will do it"

Also, the NDC's Youth Organiser in the Suame constituency was recently apprehended for saying that "We shall kill for political power" and when he was granted bail, the NDC's National leadership dispatched a delegation to Ashanti Region just to celebrate him. 

In fact, the NDC subsequently even issued a statement justifying and endorsing such a criminal act.

2. Secondly, Hon Acheampong said " Due to the challenges faced in the economy in recent times the opposition NDC think they will win the elections but as you can see the Cedi is stabilising and fuel prices have drastically been reduced so the government will fix the challenges.”

He continued that based on this "It will never happen that we the NPP will hand over power to the NDC. 

We will make sure NPP remains in government at all cost, and the economy will fully recover by June or July.”

So clearly Hon Bryan Acheampong premised his comments on the turnaround of the economy, fallen prices of fuel and the stabilisation of the Cedi.

There is absolutely nothing untoward about his comments. 

The NPP fully endorses and supports his comments.
