As NPP Youth Praise Him

Ex, Prez. J.A. Kufuor

THE CENTRAL Regional Youth Wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has extended has congratulated former President John Agyekum Kufuor, for receiving a joint award for the World Food Prize at a ceremony in the US.

The World Food Prize was instituted to honour global leaders who have helped to alleviate hunger in their respective countries.

A congratulatory message signed by the Central Regional Youth Organiser of the party, Francis Ejaku Donkor, described the former president as Ghana’s backbone.
 
According to him, Mr. Kufuor was the only President who had the courage to declare the nation a Highly Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) which helped Ghana to gain massive assistance to improve its poor economic situation.

Mr. Donkor said it was during the former President’s tenure that Ghana recorded the biggest harvest of cocoa in the country’s history.

It added that it was also during the tenure of ex-President Kufuor that hunger was reduced to a minimal level with a number of people living on one dollar per a day.

The statement further congratulated Mr. Kufuor for his enormous contributions to ensure that NPP wins the 2012 general election.

He therefore appealed to party executives to foster unity and rally behind the party’s flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo to become the next President of Ghana in 2012.

The statement expressed the hope that 2012 will be a victorious year for the party.
