An aspiring General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Musah Iddrisu, widely known as, Musah Superior, is urging members of the NPP, to rally support behind him, in his quest to become the next general secretary of the party, as he’s poised and determined, to ensure that the NPP, emerges victorious in the 2024 elections, in a bid to bring back what he described as a “sweet-super win” of the NPP, in the 2016 election.
“I want to bring back the super-sweet win we had in 2016.”
Mr. Iddrisu, who is also the Deputy CEO, of the Forestry Commission, has assured members of the party, especially, members at the grass-root level, of his massive support, if he’s elected the General Secretary, in the upcoming internal elections of the party.
Speaking with Kwaku Dawuro on the “Movement in the morning” Breakfast show, the NPP general secretary hopeful, bemoaned the current treatment meted out to
grassroots members of the party.
“I have visited 75 constituencies in 12 regions so far, as part of the “people’s campaign” tour, and from what I observed, the current state of many polling station
officers and constituency executives is an eyesore. 61 percent of the last constituency officers, do not have a job or business”, he lamented.
He mentioned, that the party must pay critical attention to constituency executives, as he added, that they should be empowered and provided with the needed logistics.
“Some constituency offices, are ramshackle. Research officers and constituency officers do not even have the needed logistics to work with.” He added.
“If NDC can build a party office in the centre of Accra, how much more a party that has been in governance for about five years now! Have you visited the party’s National headquarters before? he quizzed Kwaku Dawuro. It’s very sad”, he said.
He, however, blamed the current executives, for what he described as a failure, as he maintained, that the administrative structure of the party is non-functional.
“All these balls down to poor leadership on the side of current executives of the party.
That notwithstanding, the Former Mayor of Tamale Metropolis promised to establish the “business develop unit” initiative, which is aimed at empowering folks of the NPP, right from the polling station, and constituency, to the regional level with a 300M Ghana cedis fund.
He revealed that the party lacks welfare funds. “It’s appealing that members of the party, are unable to receive the needed support to enhance their livelihood”.
In that regard, he’s proposing a 1Million cedi Welfare fund, geared towards supporting the welfare of both executives and members of the party, when the need arises. In a bid to materialize this proposal, Musah Superior, mentioned, that every Minister, CEOs, and all government appointees will be given a letter, to pledge an amount to be paid every month, to support the fund.
“The People’s campaign is to correct the abysmal election of 2020”, as he urged delegates to vote for him, as the General Secretary of the NPP, in the upcoming internal elections in July.
He added, that the party could only break the eight if it prioritize and reorganize from the grassroots.
The NPP General Secretary hopeful, Musah Iddrisu, is expected to contend with, the CEO of the Youth Employment Agency, Justice Kodua Frimpong, Western Regional Secretary of the NPP, Charles Bissue, and former MP for suhum, Frank Opare-Ansah.
