The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has appealed for harmony within the party, urging members to refrain from aggravating existing tensions in the wake of the “Thank You” tour.
Speaking to Channel One TV on Saturday, 3 May, Mustapha acknowledged that internal disagreements are to be expected but insisted they must be managed thoughtfully.
His remarks follow heightened calls for a pause in the tour after former flagbearer aspirant Kennedy Agyapong withdrew amid deepening factional disputes.
“What I will rather ask is that we do not deepen the cracks. It is okay to disagree but we should also mind the language,” Mr Mustapha advised, emphasising the need for respectful discourse even when opinions diverge.
He cautioned that intemperate rhetoric risks widening rifts that are already eroding party cohesion.
Despite the controversy surrounding Mr Agyapong’s departure, Mustapha expressed confidence that the tour will proceed uninterrupted.
He noted that recent visits to the Bono East and Savannah regions had gone smoothly, illustrating the tour’s continued momentum.
