A Leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Madam Ama B. Busia, reminds members of the party to be mindful of life in opposition, prior to winning Election 2000, and urges them to use appropriate channels in seeking redress, now that they are in opposition again.
“Recent comments by some senior members of the party have urged me to remind the rank and file of the party to remember where we came from to win the 2000 and 2004 elections, and also our loss in 2008,” she added.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic, in an interview concerning recent comments by some leading members of the party after the party’s defeat, she appealed to the rank and file of the party to remain focused and united.
She also advised party supporters and leading members to refrain from making unguarded statements in the media, but channel their grievances, suggestions and views on the party’s fortunes to the appropriate quarters within the party.
She said, in most cases, those who made such comments might not even have the proper facts or the correct historical background to the issues.
Madam Busia, who described herself as the mother of the party, said blame game, accusations and counter-accusations, as well as finger-pointing would not be in the best interest of either individuals or the collective good of the party.
She said most of the issues being discussed in the public domain could easily be addressed by the party in an in-door manner.
She reminded the members of the party that they should be focused and “have in mind that the obvious target of the party is the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and not ourselves”.
She said the party was by far a very big family whose interest transcended that of any other group or individual in the party, and that was the interest that must be guarded.
