Former Communications Minister and Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has explained that the New Patriotic Party’s current situation is a necessary phase the party has to go through.
According to her, their time in opposition is a phase for self-introspection and diagnosis towards our journey of reorganization.
In a post shared via social media announcing she said, “A lot of water has passed under the bridge since our stormy face-off with ourselves and our base.
We came out bruised, our individual and collective egos battered. We lie not in a good place. However, as our great tradition had demonstrated over the years, influenced by the then burgeoning spirit of resilience and purpose that heralded our birth in Saltpond, we will thrive.
Scathed, we refuse to be burnt, and in the unlikely circumstance that we set ourselves in a blazing inferno, enduring the ultimate sacrifice for the New Patriotic Party (NPP: Development in Freedom), we will rise. It will shape us, mould us, and like the Phoenix, we will rise and be ready.
Our situation is but a necessary phase of self-introspection and diagnosis towards our journey of re-organisation”.
Ursula Owusu used the opportunity to announce her bid for the General Secretary position in the New Patriotic Party, indicating that
“I come to you in all humility, to ask you, dear patriots, to join me on this rescue mission as your next General Secretary,” she stated.
Adding that it will be imperative that the NPP puts itself in a good place ahead of the 2028 elections to be the choice of the Ghanaian people.
“December 2028 is soon upon us, and by which time the good people of Ghana and us all, as it is today, will remain in dire need for change. That is why we need to re-shape, re-organise, and put ourselves in a good place to effectively represent the desired change and restore the belief of Ghanaians in us as the institutors of growth and development”
