He said the intensive lobbying, especially on religious, ethnic and regional basis for the post
would not give Nana Akufo-Addo the space to carry out an effective campaign.
Mr. Bugri Naabu, who made this known in an interview with journalists in Accra, appealed to the NPP presidential candidate to consult broadly in order to get a suitable candidate to ensure the victory of the party in Elections 2008.
“It is not a foregone conclusion that a running mate should necessarily come from a particular region or religion.
“A running mate should be a time-tested and marketable personality who can improve on the political fortunes of the NPP in the Northern, Upper East, Upper West and Volta regions, where the party had fared badly since 1992.”
Mr. Bugri Naabu asked Nana Akufo-Addo to be guided by history to make the right choice.
He commended the 16 presidential aspirants of the NPP, who lost the December 2007 delegates’ congress for throwing their weight behind the presidential candidate.
Mr Bugri Naabu said the victory of the party in the Presidential and Parliamentary elections would be based on team work and called for all hands on deck to make the political dream a reality.
