Ntim urges CEOs to support NPP’s 2024 campaign

The National Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Stephen Ayesu Ntim, has called on the Chief Executive Officers appointed by President Akufo-Addo to prepare to offer their support to the party’s campaign ahead of the 2024 election.

Mr Ntim stressed that such critical diverse support, when given to the party, will enable it to place itself better to retain power come the 2024 election.

The NPP National Chairman made the call when he met Chief Executive Officers of public institutions in Accra. This was the second of its kind after he and his leadership assumed office in July 2022.

He encouraged them to feel free to offer suggestions on party organization, and also pay visits to the party headquarters to acquaint themselves with happenings there.

Party-govt synergy

He also disclosed that the national executive body of the party had planned to sustain these engagements throughout 2023 and 2024 to create a synergy between the party and appointees.

Awards were given to well-deserving CEOs for their continued support for the party while others were encouraged to open up to the party and support party members.

He urged the CEOs to be missionaries in spreading the good news of development being rolled out by the Akufo-Addo administration.

He said it is part of the process to position the party to ‘break the eight’, adding “such information will go a long way to convince the ordinary Ghanaian to appreciate the gains, and be encouraged to vote massively for the NPP in 2024”.

“We are called upon to have a missionary zeal in the work of governance, and at the same time spread the good news of the New Patriotic Party government. We’ve got to tell our story…If we do not trumpet our achievements, and they are many, no one will tell them for us. Let’s be agents of the party by telling the government’s success stories,” he stressed.

Retaining power

Mr Ayesu Ntim urged them to support the executive from the constituency, regional to national levels to ensure that the party wins the 2024 elections.

“I charge us all to help educate the lost souls under the blind selfish leadership of the NDC and bring them home to where the interest of each and every Ghanaian matters, so we can leapfrog development without drawbacks from the power-drunk NDC leadership,” he said.

He also stressed the need for commitment in sustaining the fight to keep government in power, adding: “We cannot accept the backsliding that takes place every now and then. It doesn’t benefit our nation.”

He assured the party’s rank and file that the NPP administration can be trusted to lead Ghanaians through the current economic challenges, and secure a better future for them.

He said the party under the current leadership is determined to win new seats through effective campaign in the 2024 general elections.

“It is a battle, and we are going back to the people to account for what we have done, and to tell them what we have for the people of Ghana. And I’m so sure that based on our track record, the people of Ghana will once again renew our mandate in the 2024 elections,” he stated.

He used the meeting to thank the CEOs for their unflinching support for him and the party over the years, and pledged to continue working very hard to ensure that government retains power.
