The Member of Parliament (MP) for Bosomtwe Simon Osei Mensah has admonished stalwarts in the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to work assiduously for the party to win power and desist from seeking for personal positions.
He wrote on his Facebook page:
Patriots, let’s campaign for Power and not for Positions. We should seek yee first political power and all related positions shall be added unto thee.
Without political power we cannot have the positions that will enable us implement the good policies of the Party and Flagbearer.
The suffering of Ghanaians under the current poor economic conditions must be our main concern and we cannot solve them without controlling the political power of the country. When you campaign for power you work as a team with each brightening his/her corner through hardwork.
You avoid following the Presidential candidate and his Running Mate, except where you are needed to do business with them. Campaigning for power is devoid of gossiping, backbiting, name calling and selfishness.
It involves correcting each other whenever there is a mistake. You become each others keeper. You recognise yourself as having a common purpose and destiny.
Campaigning for position, however, involves always trying to catch the Presidential Candidate’s eyes, gossiping, backbiting, name calling and always wishing others to fail for you only to succeed. This attitude is not productive since it doesn’t encourage team work and unity of purpose.
Once we don’t have political power those positions will elude us and we will not have the opportunity to implement our good policies to save our people from the socio-economic difficulties resulting from eight years of incompetence, mismanagement and corruption. Please, note finally that – “You seek first political power and all other relevant positions that will enable you perform effectively and efficiently shall be added unto you”.
On the other hand if you seek first political positions you are likely not to have it since you may not get the power and ultimately you will lose the opportunity to serve and save the suffering poor masses.
With the few days left to the elections let’s go to every home, work place and community to campaign for power, for the majority poor and vulnerable Ghanaians are suffering under the overwhelming economic difficulties.
Work and vote for change!!!
Long Live Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo!!!
Long Live NPP!!! Long Live Ghana!!!

great piece!!!!!!!!! this is mature politics. this is the painful truth. they are doing everything to catch akufu addo's eye
Even in opposition???? They are known for enriching their pockets not to add to what has been done. To them "the battle is the Acids and cutlasses". God have mercy on Ghana.
Great piece of advice. Rally for victory. Seek ye first the political kingdom. NDC will lose so big they will concede two days ahead.
hahahahahaha they have won already so the have started planning how they are going to steal Ghana's money already.shame on NPP
Bitter pill hard to swallow but once done brings healing. Bitter truth
This author is very stu.pi,d. What sort of journalism is this? Read the full text from the honourable again, there is no where he stated that NPP members are seeking for positions. Why does this journalist rush into creating the impression that NPP members are seeking for positions rather than campaigning???? I have always said that if Ghana should be on fire it will be what our media put out there. The journalist should bow his name in shame and learn to read and understand well before taking action.
Honourable what you are saying is true, I will urge each and every member of the party to work assiduously in order for us to recupture power come December 2016. Long live NPP.
Very shameful
NPP THINKS THEY HAVE WON THE 2016 ELECTIONS ALREADY,SO ARE SHARING POSITIONS AMONG THEMSELVES.PLEASE WAIT UNTIL AFTER DECEMBER 9TH 2016 TO SHARE THE POSTS PLEASE
MASSA YOU ARE SUSPENDED, HENCE FORTH YOU ARE NO LONGER A LEADING MEMBER OF THE PARTY. MEANWHILE YOU CONTINUE TO REMIT YOUR PARTY DUES TO THE ACTING GEN SEC UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. AS FOR THE MONEY WE NEED IT.
