Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, has said he believes in hard work than slogans.
He said he has never used the expression ‘break the 8’ as the NPP seeks to win the 2024 general elections.
If the NPP wins this year’s elections, it will be the first party to break the 8-year electoral cycle.
Asked whether the NPP can break the 8 while speaking on the Hot Issues with Keminni Amanor on TV3 Sunday January 7, the former presidential spokesperson said ” I have never used ‘break the 8’, I don’t like slogans, I don’t like sloganeering, I believe in hard work.”
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo earlier indicated that breaking the 8 was feasible.
“Breaking the eight is very feasible. Many people forget that in 2008 when we lost, we nearly broke the eight if you look at the vote margin.
“Overall, we were short by 40,000 votes. That was a tiny margin so it tells you that if NPP puts things together, we can make history,” he noted.
President Akufo-Addo said this in a radio interview with Nalerigu-based Nobya FM during one of his earlier tours of the North East Region.
