The Founder of the National Interest Movement (NIM), Dr. Abu Sakara Foster, has revealed that the announcement of his alliance with the Movement for Change (M4C) led by Alan Kyerematen was made prematurely to preempt sabotage efforts from both within and outside.
He explained that certain individuals sought to exploit the alliance for their own narrow interests, prompting the need for an early announcement on Thursday, April 4, to thwart such attempts.
According to Dr. Sakara, these individuals are apprehensive about the alliance's endeavour to establish a credible alternative through mergers of entities with strong institutional structures and reputable leaders, hence their efforts to undermine it.
In a press statement issued on Friday, April 5, Dr. Sakara reiterated their commitment to offering renewed hope to disillusioned Ghanaians, emphasising that nothing will deter them from this objective.
The former flagbearer for the Conventions People's Party (CPP) further criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the ruling New Patriotic Party for their perceived incompetence and mismanagement of the country's resources, which has contributed to widespread disillusionment among the populace.
"This premature press statement was occasioned by factors beyond our control that had to be curbed before the perpetrators pursued their own narrative of the Alliance. Left alone the narrative may have not ended favourably for us."
"It is to be expected that any attempt to forge a credible alternative based on mergers of entities with institutional structures and credible leaders will be resisted and sabotaged from within and without."
On Thursday, April 4, independent presidential candidate Alan John Kyerematen disclosed a strategic partnership with the NIM, marking the inception of a collaboration operating under the banner 'The Alliance for Revolutionary Change (ARC).'
Mr. Kyerematen detailed the objectives of the Alliance in a statement, announcing its official launch scheduled for Wednesday, April 17.
The primary aim of the ARC is to unite Ghanaians from various demographics, with a special focus on engaging youth and women, with the ultimate goal of electing the first independent candidate as President of Ghana.
