Justin Kodua, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has voiced deep disappointment and frustration with the party’s executives and government officials. He revealed that when he publicly called for a government reshuffle, none of the NPP executive members supported him, leaving him feeling isolated and unsupported.
Kodua criticized the tendency to blame individuals after an election loss, stating that such an approach does not address the party’s underlying issues. “When you lose an election, people are quick to point fingers, but that’s not the solution,” he said. He emphasized the need for more constructive measures to address the party’s challenges rather than resorting to blame games.
He also disclosed that he had repeatedly raised concerns about key infrastructure projects, such as the Suame interchange, central market, and Krofrom Market, during cabinet meetings. However, his concerns were consistently overlooked. “I have always spoken about the Suame interchange, central market, and Krofrom Market, but they didn’t pay attention to me in their cabinet meetings,” Kodua stressed.
Kodua’s remarks suggest that the NPP’s recent election loss may be partly due to internal disunity and a lack of effective communication within the party. His comments underscore the importance of fostering open dialogue and addressing concerns raised by party members to rebuild and strengthen the party’s future prospects.
By highlighting these issues, Kodua calls for a more collaborative and inclusive approach within the NPP, emphasizing that listening to internal voices and addressing grievances are crucial steps toward recovery and growth.
