Ing Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, NPP flagbearer hopeful
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Ing Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, has issued a stirring call for a return to principled leadership, urging party delegates to prioritize national transformation over personal gain.
Addressing NPP delegates from the Sunyani East and West constituencies last Thursday, the former NPP General Secretary and Press Secretary to President JA Kufuor emphasised that his bid for the flagbearer position is rooted in a philosophy of “service to mankind as service to God.”
Asserting that his extensive experience in high-level governance has left him seeking legacy rather than wealth, Ing Agyepong pointedly addressed the issue of political corruption, delivering a firm promise that his leadership would be defined by integrity.
“We go to government to serve, not for personal wealth,” he declared, while cautioning delegates against the influence of short-term financial inducements.
He argued against the monetization of politics, stating that small monetary handouts do nothing to uplift the livelihoods of delegates.
Instead, he urged them to consider the “unborn generations” and the future of the NPP tradition when casting their ballots on January 31.
The flagbearer hopeful lamented that Ghana has “lost its way,” citing weak enforcement of rules and regulations, unbridled politicization of state institutions and the waste of public resources as major hurdles militating against national progress.
Ing Agyepong positioned himself as the disciplined leader required to impose the necessary rigours of statecraft to ensure that “things are done right.”
Looking ahead, Ing Kwabena Agyei Agyepong announced that he will shortly address the nation at an event where he intends to unveil a six-point plan aimed at steering the country back onto a trajectory of comprehensive national transformation.
