I was jailed for this party, yet you people want to show me shakara– Former President Kufuor laments again
Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has bemoaned what he describes as deliberate neglect by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), despite the personal sacrifices he made to help establish and lead the party to power.
“I was put in prison for some months because of this party. I'm a founding father and led the party to power for the first time in years yet you don’t involve me in anything.
"My brains and memories are intact,” Kufuor stated with visible disappointment when presidential hopeful Bryan Acheampong paid a courtesy call on him.
Kufuor, widely regarded as a key architect of the NPP’s rise, served as President of Ghana from 2001 to 2009.
