There are serious moves in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to
unite the warring factions and to rally behind the Presidential Candidate, Nana
Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
A party source told “The Insight” that there have been several
rounds of meetings involving top level leaders to resolve the enpasse.
According to our sources some of the meetings have been
attended by Nana Akufo- Addo himself and have involved Mr Paul Afoko, the
suspended National Chairman and General Secretary, Kwabena Agyapong.
The faction loyal to Mr Paul Afoko is insisting on his
reinstatement as National Chairman as a condition for peace in the party.
Others who have featured in these meetings are former President
John Agyekum Kufour, Mr Ayikoi Otoo, a former Attorney General, Dr Addo
Kuffour, former Defence Minister and
kwabena Agyapong, General Secretary.
The meeting with high profile priests at the residence of
former President Kufour is seen as part
of the initiative.

Honorable Joe Osei Wusu, an NPP Member of Parliament
virtually confirmed these meetings when he said that “many things are happening
behind the scenes to restore peace and stability in our party” on Metro TV’s
Good Morning Ghana.
Matters in the party
appear to be getting out of hand with calls for the dismissal of many other
leaders including acting National Chairman Freddie Blay , Minority leader in
parliament Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu and
his deputy, Dominique Nitiwul.
It is believed that
efforts aimed at ending the feud in the party could very well be advanced.
Editorial
CAPTAGON
The arrest of a Saudi Prince for smuggling drugs suspected
to be heading into the hands of the so-called Free Syrian Army must be a source
of great concern to all parents in the region and beyond.
The drug, Captagon is a known mind control drug which the
opposition to president Assad has been supplying to young militants to enable
them stand on their feet in grueling battles.
It will not take a prophet to see that young people in the
Middle East, the Persian Gulf and beyond would be hooked to this very dangerous
drug in the future.
It is indeed a huge shame that Saudi Arabia and its allies
in the region so hate the legitimate government of Syria that they are prepared
to destroy the future of the youth.
The Insight urges
Saudi Arabia and it’s allies to end the smuggling and distribution of Captagon
to young people in the region.
