I Am The Unifier - Dan Abodakpi

An aspiring national chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Dan Abodakpi says his ability to close the rank and file of the party makes him the best person for the position. Speaking to over 400 delegates of the NDC in Kumasi, he reiterated that under his leadership there would be no factions in the party. �I will provide the kind of leadership that all members can trust and feel comfortable to work with,� he added. He also promised delegates that if voted as party chairman, he would ensure equity in the distribution of government appointments. He pledged never to accept any appointment as a board member to any government institution and only focus on the party to ensure that promises in the NDC manifesto were implemented. Mr Abodakpi said when elected as a chairman, he would ensure that the party is rejuvenated at the grassroots level to ensure resounding victory for the party in 2016. He emphasised the need to bring fresh limbs on board to use new and better ideas and energies to drive the party to victory in 2016. He, however, lamented that there was discontent among foot soldiers of the party who worked hard to bring the party to power. He stressed that the situation where party foot soldiers were used and dumped after election does not augur well for the party, adding there was the need to shift the paradigm. Mr Abodakpi told delegates that he is committed to the ideals and principles of the party to the extent of going to prison because of his love for the party, saying he is ready to sacrifice even more for the party. He, therefore, urged delegates to vote for him to become the next national chairman of the National Democratic Congress.
