Sammy Awuku: We will fly only NPP members to Russia 2018 World Cup

Published on: 02 August 2017

The National youth organizer of Ghana's ruling party New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku has emphatically declared that the party would fly its members to Russia to watch the 2018 FIFA World Cup tournament.

Ghana are in the danger of missing out on a fourth successive FIFA World Cup following their poor start to the qualifying series in Group E as they are trailing Egypt by five points after two games.

But Awuku is hopeful of the Black Stars overhauling the Pharaohs at the summit of the standings to win the sole ticket to the global Mundial once again.

According to the tough talking politician, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) did same during their eight-year term in office and they will also satisfy their supporters by flying them to Russia.

“It is time for us as party to take care of our party people. When the NDC took their supporters to South Africa for the world cup in 2010, we didn’t complain, when they took their supporters to Equatorial Guinea, we didn’t complain, when they took them to Brazil, we didn’t complain, as for Russian, it is our time, they shouldn’t complain,” Awuku stressed when addressing delegates at the NPP Regional Conference in Tamale.

“Our party people have suffered. When you give a job to an NPP person, you are giving the job to a Ghanaian so our appointees should not be afraid to give jobs to our party people because we brought the party to power and without us they would not be any government, and so it is same for us as a party and people to also make sure if it is NADMO, if it is School Feeding, if it is Youth Employment Agency that our party people needs those jobs, lets support them and get those jobs because when they gave it to their supporters they said they are Ghanaians, very good, when we give it to our own people too, they are Ghanaians and should also respect that.”
