In a statement to share the glory and wish the party its 30th Anniversary, the National Coordinator of the group, Mr. Emmanuel Mensah recalled how Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia defended the party at the Supreme Court in the full glare of the public, whilst other equally important individuals failed to show up.
He lamented that some bigwigs and power brokers in the party intentionally sat as observers and strangers at the period their loyalty and support were needed badly.
“Today, a lot of people have forgotten and they're now claiming to be loving the party than Dr. Bawumia who stood on his feet for almost nine months (9) in the supreme court defending the party”.
He appealed that time has come for the ruling New Patriotic Party to reward the Vice President for his commitment and perseverance.
“Let's remind ourselves as members of the elephant family that hard work pays, so the Vice President needs to be rewarded as the party prepares ahead of the 2024 general elections”.
Mr. Emmanuel said before the party came to power the Vice President worked hard, mobilized the people, and demonstrated why the then flagbearer of the party was a better alternative to the NDC.
Extending the group's best wishes to the party as it celebrates its 30th Anniversary, he paid tribute to the illustrious founders and other members of the party.
“I want to pay tribute to Baffuor Akoto, Nana Awuku, Prof. Ofosu Armah, S. D. Dombo, Alhaji Osman, S. G. Antor, Victor Owusu, Kwesi Lamptey, J. A. Braimah, Richard Quashie, Alhaji Yakubu Tali (Tolon-Na), Prof. Yaw Twumasi, Prof. Adzei Bekoe, Alhaji B. K. Adama, Haruna Esseku, Jato Kaleo, J. H. Mensah, Abaifa Karbo, Dzana Selby, Jones Ofori Atta, Sackey Schek, former President J. A Kufuor, H.E President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Appiah Menka, Alhaji Shani Mahama, Stephen Kreku, Prof. John Fynn, Mr. Cockra, Adam Amande, Gyebi Ofosu, Ama Busia, Mariama Sanpaga, Alhaji Salifu COP, Mariama Arko, Alhaji Adam Gariba, etc”.
He narrated that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) received its certificate to operate on the 28th of July 1992 from the then Interim National Electoral Commission (INEC) headed by the late Justice Josiah Ofori Boateng. ABOUT BAWUMIA FOR GHANA
