I Will Use Bottom Up Approach As General Secretary Of NPP – Musah Superior Declares
One of the aspiring candidates for the General Secretary position of the New Patriotic Party , Iddrisu Musah Superior has postulated that, if he’s voted for as the new General Secretary of the party ,he would give power back to the grassroots by making himself available at all times. Mr Superior made this profound statement when he granted an interview to City FM’s ace broadcaster Umaru Sanda of City TV in his new Forestry Commission office near GIMPA recently.
The former Mayor of Tamale indicated among other things that, he he had ten cardinal working principles he would roll out to maintain the party in power in 2024 . “Let me say , l have ten point workable solutions that none of my competitors has and since l announced them none of them had countered them and it shows how effective they are “. He continued that the grassroots have been left behind but to him they are the king makers and such people should be taken care of because without them the party can’t win power. ”
“The current executives are poles apart from the grassroots and see themselves as bighots and people can’t approach them to find solutions to their problems. None of them stays in the office so how can you attend to the difficulties of the party supporters ? They see themselves as another group of people in different class of their own leaving the grassroots to fence for themselves ; this is certainly wrong” he opned.
The former Tamale mayor contended that any officer who refuses to work from the party office has no business vying for the position he/she is contesting for. Again he warned the party of the delusion of they just using the mantra ‘BREAKING THE EIGHT ‘ if serious approach is not adopted adding that victory in 2024 would not be won with a child’s tactics. “We can’t just win 2024 with a word of mouth ; we need to work extremely hard because our opponents would not be pushovers so we need to up our strategies else we will laugh at the wrong side of our mouth “.
On the issue of whom he supports to be Flagbearer, he told the interviewer that in his party the tradition has always been competition and elections. So, whoever emerges the Flagbearer, he would work with him and he would not point to any favorite of his choice. “You know in our party, the modus operandi is elections to choose our leaders so any one worth’s his salt can compete and if the delegates select him/ her, that’s it. Most often during elections, there may be a few skirmishes and struggle for space here and there but as soon as a candidate is chosen, then tension subsides “.
He argued that what is going on in the pooling stations executive elections is normal in all elections but assured the guest that all tempers would come down soon after the elections. On the issue of his re-assignment to the G F C, he told his guest that it is the president who appoints and disappoints so he is happy where he is because he is learning new things.
“Until l came here, l did not understand the work of Forestry Commission, but my five months here have opened my eyes to new things and am ok . For instance, l did not know that the Commission has three big divisions each in its own right doing wonderful things. Wildlife ,Forestry and Climate Change , and the Commission controls the whole country’s ecosystem.
He disclosed that he is vying for the position in NPP to accelerate the fortunes in 2024 , because a big party like the NPP needs very strong, dedicated, focused, intelligent, eloquent , reliable, calculated and visionary General Secretary and he is prepared to offer that quality leadership for the part at all times.
