I'll Win NPP Secretaryship Slot With  60% Votes -Musah Superior Asserts As He Files Nomination Forms

A former Mayor for Tamale who doubles as the Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Forestry Commission of Ghana, Mr. Musah Superior on Tuesday, June 14, 2022, finally submitted his nomination forms which gave him the legal backing to contest the New Patriotic Party’s General Secretary slot in the NPP national executives election.

Mr. Musah who is the founding member of the NPP filed his nomination documents around 10:24 AM after the leadership of the National Election Committee of the party had scrutinized the forms and certified his documents.

He has not gone through any challenge of filing his nomination papers to contest the NPP secretaryship race.

This development has shown that Mr. Musah is the choice for the NPP secretaryship position and that voting for him to win the slot would give the chance to the party to win both the presidential and parliamentary elections for 2022.

Addressing journalists in an interview at the NPP headquarters in Accra, Mr. Musah expressed concern about the teething logistic and tool challenges facing the constituency offices of the NPP across the country which he lamented were adversely affecting the works of the constituency executives of the party.

In most of the offices in NPP constituencies in the country, Mr. Musah disclosed that the offices do not have basic office tools such as computers, printers, TVs, and radio sets among others.

Additionally, he lamented that most constituency Secretaries have to use business communication centers to write and print our letters? adding that this is acceptable! 

He maintained that It is the failure of the current leadership, stating that he has a strong belief that the NPP will win the 2024 general elections but the leadership must fix the party first.

Following this development, the NPP top shot assured that on his watch as General Secretary, this will stop, adding that it was about time delegates elected a new breed of politicians within the NPP capable of breaking the eight in the 2024 general election.

Mr. Musah, therefore, called on delegates and members of the party to vote massively for him to win the general secretary position to help repair the broken structures and foundations of the party across the country.

Mr. Musah who is the founding member of the NPP stressed that his vast experience in party politics had attested to the fact that he was more capable or qualified to be elected the new NPP General Secretary to help the party win the 2024 poll.

According to him, the party has great potential of retaining political power in 2024 should delegates make the right decision about its leadership. 

The astute politician stressed that the party is at crossroads and needs to be managed effectively but under a new leadership if the hope of breaking the 8 could materialize. 

According to him, when he is given the nod to win the NPP general Secretary position, he would ensure with a matter of urgency that the proper basic office tools and logistics will be provided to support administrative work in our not-too-good constituency offices."

He further assured the supporters and members of the NPP that he will also embark on a deliberate policy to provide television and radio sets in our offices across the country.

The provision of these tools and logistics to the NPP constituency offices,  Mr. Musah noted would help to elevate the political interest of members through listening to the news. 

He reiterated that his decision to contest the race was informed by the numerous calls on him from the rank and file of the party to serve in that role.

Mr. Musah stressed, “as a true, loyal and dedicated member who is desirous in serving the New Patriotic Party in any capacity, I feel obliged to respond positively to the calls by the numerous party people across the country.”

According to him, the government of the NPP had performed well; and “we must build on the successes chalked by the government as part of our strategy to secure victory in 2024.”

He indicated that It was for this reason that he had offered himself for the general secretary position to lead in galvanizing the grassroots to re-build a stronger, thoughtful, and more efficient party capable of energizing and mobilizing first our supporters and sympathizers, and then millions of non-NPP voting citizens across the country to compete meaningfully in the 2024 general elections.

The spirit of “our party,” he said must be brought back.

“We must be ready now and at all times to properly plan and execute an efficient and innovative campaign for victory in the 2024 General Elections.

“I have the capacity and the strength to find the lost spirit, revive the dormant party structures across the country, and serve the party people with purpose, greater assertion, and conviction in the mandate l seek. In the coming days, I shall formally make my vision public in my interaction with the party people across the country.
