A member of the National Council of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Afoko has called on the leaders of the country to contest ideas not on political lines but rather ensure national cohesion.
He said the leaders should stop dabbling in partisan politics.
He was of a strong view that the kind of leadership in the country does not help if they only see things from the political lenses when they are supposed to make constructive arguments which will uplift the image of Ghana on the map.
He noted that due to the infighting among political parties, it is sometimes difficult for the leaders to market the nation during meetings abroad.
Speaking to Radio Gold on Monday, Mr. Afoko lambasted the leaders and political figures in the country for the prevalence of insults and personalization of national issues.
He advised them to build consensus in order to boost the progress of the economy and ensure unity among the citizenry.
�What retards most of us or our work is the insults, the personalization of things, the vilification of individuals and people instead of attacking our ideas�Ghana, whatever we do [NPP, NDC, CPP, PPP, whatever party]; we share this political space, geographical space called Ghana.
�You oppose with your idea in order to help perfect what is being taken out there in the name of us, Ghanaians.� he said.
