Akufo-Addo’s ‘Arise and Build’ tour needless – Analyst

Political strategist Dr. Kobby Mensah has advised the NPP Presidential candidate Nana Akufo-Addo to immediately call off his ‘Arise and Build’ tour and rather pay attention to the wrangling in the party.

“From what has happened, I think the NPP is losing credibility. They keep denying that nothing has happened but look at the bombshell that has been dropped by the general secretary.

“The party is losing credibility and Akufo-Addo himself is losing authority over the party,” the university don told Nii Arday Clegg on Morning Starr Tuesday.

He added: “I think that they have to admit that there are deep seated problems in the party and get some elders to address these things and stop this ‘Arise and Build’ narratives that is taking us nowhere”.

The Elephant family is at conflict with itself as its general secretary Kwabena Agyepong, took to the media Monday to vent his spleen on its flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo and some party executives, alleging they are working against him.

He revealed he was unaware of the ‘Rise and Build’ tour and only got to know of it on the internet.

Akufo-Addo, in response, has issued a stern warning to all members of the party to desist from discussing internal matters on the media landscape, adding such behaviour will affect the fortunes of the party in the run-up to the 2016 elections.
