Staunch member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Stephen Asamoah Boateng popularly called Asabee has expressed interest in aspiring as the Chairman for the party in a bid to serve its people.
Asabee has said that politics is all about service to humanity and that is one thing he desires to do.
He mentioned that political power is given to people who can run the affairs of a country to the benefit of the larger majority.
The former member of Parliament for the Mfantsiman west speaking to the press on the sidelines of the NPP delegates meeting in the Volta Region on Tuesday 19th October stated that in politics all one should do is to take his or her time and show that he/she means well and has a good heart.
“The essence of wanting to win power is not just for yourselves, it is to run the country to help all of us especially the vulnerable and those who are unemployed and looking for support and also to protect everybody.
“Wanting to be the National chairman of the NPP is for the opportunity to serve the country again.
“You know my background very well, I would have become a reverend minister if it wasn’t politics.
“When I was a young man, there used to be a saying that I would be a reverend minister in the Methodist church but during the university days I drifted into politics a little bit.
“I drifted into politics not because of what I wanted, that was the revolutionary days and it was not about position, it was not about money, it was about helping solve the problems. I carried cocoa for Jerry John Rawlings in the cocoa evacuation,” Asabee stated.
