Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has issued a reminder to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) about the realities of political power.

According to the statesman, "it is better to be a messenger of a party in power than the general secretary of a party in opposition." The remark came during the launch of the NPP's newly established Patriotic Institute, a certificate-awarding institution designed to deepen ideological education, build leadership capacity, and strengthen the party's readiness for governance.

The event, held today in Accra, saw key party figures in attendance, including General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, who stressed the institute's role in reshaping the NPP's future.

Addressing the NPP members, Mr Kufour insisted that the objective of every political party is to win power, adding that all resources and deliberation must have that as the central idea.
