Kobina Arthur Kennedy, a renowned stalwart of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has revealed that former president John Agyekum Kufuor asked former president Akufo-Addo to apologise to Ghanaians.
According to Arthur Kennedy, the apology is to atone for the hardship imposed on Ghanaians during the Akufo-Addo administration tenure.
Speaking on TV3 Key Points on June 28, Mr Arthur Kennedy detailed, “I have heard from the grapevine that President Kuffour has suggested to President Akufo-Addo to apologise to Ghanaians. This is advice I agree with. He must apologise”.
Arthur Kennedy boldly stated he agrees with the suggestion made by former President Kufuor, “There was impunity, there was corruption, there was arrogance of power, there was hardship.”
His comments come on the back of John Agyekum Kufuor, the former President, who has warned the members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that the party will go out of operation if members do not stop the tribal and religious bigotry.
According to Kufuor, the NPP must stop religious and tribal sentiments as the party prepares to elect a flagbearer for the 2028 general elections.
Speaking at the launch of the party’s new think tank, the Patriotic Institute, on Wednesday, June 25, Kufuor stated, “We are democratic and we uphold common humanity. Democracy doesn’t go in for tribe, religion and gender.”
“…if we want power, we want to present a person who will be convincing to the generality of the electorate. Can this man we are presenting help solve problems for the community at large, so the benefit spreads across the board for all?” the former President added.
He further added, “We may see that the way we have been brushed by our opponents from way back; oh, you’re a tribal party. These days, we are even including religion. You do that and it comes from our mouths, then I tell you we are perpetuating it”.
“How come our fortunes have been dwindling since 2016, 2020, and now our current state?” Ex President Kufuor asked.
