Stephen Asamoah Boateng (ASABEEE), aspiring national chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has toured the Eastern Region with his seven pronged campaign message including the idea of negotiating for a 40 percent appointment for party persons when the NPP wins power.
Explaining at places like Ofoase Ayirebi, Afram Plains North and South as well as others, Asabeee said his desire is to build a solid and vibrant NPP when he becomes Chairman.
He noted that only a party that is solid can work to realise its aspirations.
“It is important that we all work to build a solid party and that’s where I come in because having been in the trenches I know the issues of the grassroots and my determination is to work to galvanise the support we need and also cause those who toil with us to be given appointments when we secure power hence my constant mention of the 60/40 agenda”, Asabeee stressed.
DETAILS:
At Afram Plains North and South, Asabeee said he will work to ensure that women in the NPP are empowered with skills development and training so that they can become employable.
He also noted that the youth of the party represents the future of NPP.
This, he noted, means that the party should be positioned in such a way that its members especially women and youth are given jobs and employment opportunities so as to make them useful.
“When our youth and women are empowered with the right skills and training they can become employable and ready for the job market”, Asabeee stated.
APPRECIATION:
Delegates in the communities visited reacted positively to the message form Asabeee.
Some noted that the agenda 60/ 40 was a laudable one since it possesses the motivation to get party persons to work to achieve results knowing that they will be rewarded when they win power.
Some of the youthful elements commended the former Information Minister for thinking so much about them by offering to empower them to become useful to their communities.
“We believe Asabeee has the right message to push party people to work hard knowing that we will be rewarded when the toil bears fruit in good time “, a delegate from Afram Plains North posited.
