Paramount Chief of Wala Traditional Area, Naa Fuseini Seidu Pelpuo, has thrown his support behind Goosie Tanoh who is contesting in the presidential primaries of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The overlord of the Waala traditional area touted Mr. Goosie Tanoh as a ‘’solid candidate” who must be supported and given the chance to lead the NDC into election 2020 as the flagbearer of the party.
He particularly praised Mr. Tanoh for conducting a clean election campaign devoid of insults and character assassinations.
Speaking at his palace during a courtesy call, the Wa-Naa through his spokesperson, eulogised Goosie Tanoh describing him as a great leader with diverse and patriotic core values upon which the NDC was formed and nobody could be more NDC than him.
He indicated that Goosie Tanoh was a true blooded NDC founding member, saying ‘’ if anybody in the NDC says he has worked more than Goosie Tanoh, the person is telling lies’’.
He stressed that people were scared to join the NDC during the revolutionary days however, the visionary leadership of likes of Goosie Tanoh attracted many Ghanaians to voluntarily join the party.
The chief’s assertion is in sharp contrast to an erroneous perception of a younger generation of NDC members who have been made to believe that Mr. Goosie Tanoh betrayed the NDC party.
But Naa Ali Pulpuo Busah refuted such claims describing it as factually inaccurate.
In his response to the endorsement, Goosie Tanoh, the former Ghanaian diplomat and founding member of the NDC thanked the overlord of Waala tradional area, Wa-Naa Fueisni Seidu Pelpuo IV and promised to seek his wise counsel to govern the country if he wins the NDC internal contest and subsequently emerge as winner of 2020 presidential elections.
He bemoaned the dwindling election fortunes of the NDC in recent national elections and said his mission was to restore the party to its election winning ways.
