The quest for Samuel Awuku to win the race to become the National Youth Organizer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to galvanize the youth to wrest power from the jaws of the Mahama/Amissah-Arthur-led government has received a major boost as prominent NPP bigwigs from the Northern Region have been extolling his enviable virtues. While Mustapha Hamid, a former National Youth Organizer of the NPP posted on his facebook wall yesterday that Sammi, as he is popularly called is the �most lethal combination of virtues,� Iddrisu Musah Superior describes him as �a leader with a composed strategy for a nationwide call on the youth to regain their lost hope.� �This is Sammi Awuku. If ever there is a round character, this is him. A young man of many parts. He can be as genteel as he can be combative. He has a truly magnetic personality. He is a charmer. If charisma is a virtue in politics, if oratory is a virtue in politics, if street wisdom is a virtue in politics and if sound reasoning is a virtue in politics, then Sammi has indeed the most lethal combination of virtues, If he wins, I am cool. - posted Mustapha Hamid. The former Operations Director of the Alliance For Accountable Governance (AFAG), received further commendation from Musah Superior who also posted on his facebook wall that, �I think Sammi is �globally� in depth and will be able to mobilize the army of the Ghanaian unengaged youth to back the NPP. The youth wing of the party is completely disabled, uninspired, lacking ambitious leadership, and a workable programme to inspire the young people in the Party to serve as a springboard/platform for the take of the GHANA YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SCHEME.� �A leader with a COMPOSED STRATEGY for a nationwide call on the youth to regain their lost hope and remain optimistic and work with the NPP to deliver them opportunities to do things for themselves is what this special organ of our great Party requires. Sammi is the man! Support him, work for him, vote for him,� Superior added. The New Crusading Guide could not get in touch with Sammi to find out his reaction to the various commendations pouring in across the country as we were told he was somewhere in the Ashanti region with his campaign team after visiting the Volta Region with the message of �Get Involved.� Sammi, this paper is told, was met with chants of �Boyz Abre! Galz Abre! Ghana Youth Abre! Campaign slogan. Meanwhile, Sammi who was a Deputy Communications Director of the NPP for the 2012 Elections has thanked the youth of his party for supporting his bid.� I have been inspired by the support and extermination of the youth of NPP. The overwhelming response to my message, Get Involved has energized the youth base of the NPP. I am also grateful to the young professionals, students, unemployed youth and young businessmen of the NPP who have volunteered to spread our message across the country and even generously contributed to my trip round the country. Indeed we are on course. To my supporters, let us resist the temptation of descending into the gutter at the least provocation. Late Prime Minister, Prof. Kofi Abrefa Busia said, if you want to go into politics, then you must be prepared to stomach nonsense,� he posted on his facebook wall.
