Former Member of Parliament for the people of Asokwa Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Hon. Maxwell Kofi Jumah is certain the involvement of former President John Agyekum Kufuor in mediating the peace process will bear good fruits eventually in NPP.

According to him, the key elements in restoring peace in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are for the leaders to groom trust, confidence and coordination among themselves.

Speaking on the issue of recorded minutes of meetings meant to be private, the former Mayor of Kumasi in the Ashanti region warned those involved on Okay Fm’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show to desist from that habit as this has possibility of breaking every possibility of building trust, confidence and cohesion in NPP.

He however advised the three leaders namely NPP Chairman Paul Afoko, General Secretary Kwabena Agyapong and the Flagbearer Nana Akufo Addo to pay no attention to the distraction being directed at them in the social media and from the mainstream media.

He implored the leaders to remain focused on the fight to recapture power in the upcoming general elections in December 2016 as it is ultimate goal for which they took the mantle to lead the elephant family.

“…the three leaders should pay no attention these things and stay focus to do their work. I have admired President Kufuor, Akufo Addo, Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyepong; we have to exercise patience because the leaders are now patching their differences to work together”, he opined.

To him, the elephant family especially the leaders have reached the stage of building confidence and trust to work together; but added that the effort of building trust and confidence must be earned through actions of the leaders.

He pinpointed that “the peace of NPP rests with former Kufuor, Paul Afoko and Nana Akufo Addo; if they decide to end the infighting in NPP it will end at once”.

“I have heard they are making moves to instill peace, hence this private meeting at former President Kufuor’s house; if Afoko and Nana Addo don’t like to see peace in NPP, they would not have honored the invitation of former President Kufuor”, he stated.
