Some members of the youth wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have vowed to prevent former President John Agyekum Kufuor from attending the inauguration of John Dramani Mahama as President of Ghana on January 7, 2013.
The youth are set to march to the Airport West residence of the former President on Thursday January 3 to articulate their disapproval of Mr. Kufuor's decision to break ranks with the NPP which is boycotting the ceremony.
The office of the former President has indicated that President Kufuor would attend the inauguration because he is a statesman and should therefore rise above political party affairs.
But speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem morning show, Hopeson Adorye, a senior member of the Young Patriots – a group within the NPP youth wing – said “The youth of the party will not allow President Kufuor to attend the inauguration. He will have to drive over us to attend this illegal swearing in.”
He called on “every member of the NPP who loves President Kufuor and the party” to “march to President Kufuor’s house and let him know that we will not allow him to attend this inauguration.”
