Former member of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) Hopeson Adorye has criticised the party’s ongoing nationwide Thank You Tour.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Hopeson described the initiative as more of a tantrum tour than a thank-you tour, arguing that the approach is misguided.
“They are supposed to mount a stage, accept responsibility for their mistakes instead of blaming, particularly former President Akufo-Addo. It must be a collective responsibility because Bawumia was the Vice President then, but all he has done is push all the blame on Akufo-Addo,” he stated.
While acknowledging that he has issues with Akufo-Addo, Hopeson maintained that it is unfair for him to bear the blame alone.
“People will know you are genuine and faithful if you share in the blame and I don’t think Akufo-Addo will even be happy so this is more of a tantrum tour not a thank you,” he added.
The Thank You Tour is being led by the 2024 flagbearer, Dr. Bawumia as part of efforts to rebuild and re-energise the party ahead of the 2028 elections, while also appreciating the contributions of party members during the last campaign.
There have been calls on the party to suspend it, amidst arguments that it is ill-timed and unhelpful in the aftermath of the defeat.
Meanwhile, the NPP Chairman, Stem Ayesu Ntim has taken a temporary break from the tour to address what the party has described as pressing matters.
