The National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Stephen Ayesu Ntim, has reiterated the party’s commitment to forging a stronger alliance with Nigeria’s All Progressives Congress (APC).
Such an alliance, he said, would aid not only the growth of the two parties but also advance the democracy of the two countries.
He was speaking at a joint press conference after holding a closed-door meeting with the chairman of the APC, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, in Accra.
The meeting was attended by the chairman of the NPP Council of Elders, Hackman Owusu-Agyemang, the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo Markin, and other NPP executives as well as executives of the APC.
Mr. Ntim, on October 1, 2023, conferred with the Chairman of the APC, Dr. Ganduje, at the APC National Headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria, as part of that country’s 63rd Independence Day.
At the press conference in Accra, Mr. Ntim expressed the hope that the two ruling parties would build a relationship that would augment each other’s strength as dominant political parties with rich histories in their respective countries.

For his part, Dr. Ganduje said his visit was to affirm and strengthen the cordial relationship existing between Ghana and Nigeria. He noted that having closer ties between the NPP and APC was necessary for the development of both parties.
Dr. Ganduje, therefore, stressed the need for the two parties to institutionalize their relationship and share their experiences and challenges because ruling parties in developing countries had peculiar challenges that needed to be addressed.
