The 2012 presidential candidate for the People�s National Convention, (PNC) Hassan Ayariga, has criticized the leadership of the New Patriotic Party,(NPP) for the highly publicized disunity and disconnect within the party, after the verdict of the supreme court.
Various leading members of the NPP have expressed conflicting views on whether Nana Addo Akufo Addo should be retained for the 2016 presidential elections.
The NPP flagbearer himself has requested a break to decide on which path to take, with regard to his political career.
However, Mr. Ayariga has said the internal wrangling of the party must be dealt with privately rather than publicly.
He said �I think there is an internal problem within the NPP and they need to sit down to make the right decisions. Public discussions will not bring change to the party. We have a duty to this country and that is to maintain peace�.
Mr. Ayariga said it was time to move on from the election petition saga and focus on pertinent issues that affect the country.
He appealed to the media to shift its attention to developmental issues that could affect some change.
�Let us not play politics with our country. We must be seen to promote issue that will seek out solutions. The government should be seen to work for the interest of the citizens; employ competent people not just because they may be members of the one political party or the other,� he added.
