Credible information reaching The Statesman has it that Egbert Faibille Jnr, Lawyer and Managing Editor of the Ghanaian Observer newspaper has decided to join the New Patriotic Party.
Our impeccable source told this paper Mr Faibille, who until his decision to switch parties was a member of the Convention Peoples Party, has picked up registration forms from the Dome-Kwabenya constituency offices of the NPP.
Another source close to Mr Faibille, who is a former Editor of the Independent newspaper, said his decision was based on a critical assessment of the Ghanaian political scene in the context of his and his mentor, Kwame Nkrumah's vision for the nation.
In his opinion, Ghana, after President Kufuor's calming, guiding hands, needed a leader with Kwame Nkrumah’s vision and energy to galvanise the populace, especially the youth, for the accelerated development whose foundation has been laid over the last six and a half years by the NPP administration.
After assessing the policies and plans of all the political parties, he was "firmly convinced" the NPP was the party with the men and the vision to achieve this, the source told this paper.
A clear manifestation of this ability is reflected in the number of aspirants hoping to take over from President Kufuor, although some were more qualified than others, he was quick to point out.
