The General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua, has unreservedly apologized to the people of Ghana for the unfair treatment they received from the party.
He acknowledged that when the NPP came to power, they disappointed many Ghanaians, which affected their support leading into the 2024 elections.
According to him, the New Patriotic Party, at some point, forgot how they came to power and failed to engage and carry along their support base, resulting in a hard lesson for the party.
“I want to use this opportunity to apologize on behalf of the President, my Chairman, and all other executives of the party, to the people in our strongholds who were disappointed because we did not deliver the needed infrastructure. To the individuals who sold their properties to support us in 2016 but whom we failed to involve, to the lawyers who served as polling station agents but were forgotten, to the contractors we did not pay, and to all the young people who supported the party in 2016 and 2020 with the hope of gaining opportunities—we are deeply sorry,” he said.
“Politics goes beyond projects; a key aspect is human management—the way you relate to people and make them feel understood and valued. That is where we failed as a government. We failed to carry our people along.”
He continued: “At some point, we forgot how we even came to power. We need to reconcile with our God, our Lord, so that He remembers us. Even the Bible says that if you seek the face of the Lord, He will forgive you. I firmly believe the battle is still the Lord’s, and whatever has happened, we will recover. By 2028, we will come back stronger,” he stated in an interview with Asempa FM.
