Editor-In-Chief of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has called on New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo to appoint Dan Botwe as his campaign Manager.

Mr. Baako believes the Okere Legislator would do a better job than any of his contenders which newspapers reported are gunning for the position.

Four persons – Stephen Ntim, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Boakye Agyarko and Dan Botwe – were reported to have been earmarked for the position.

And among these men, Mr. Baako speaking on PEACE FM’s Kokrokoo Programme Wednesday pledged on his unflinching support for the former NPP General Secretary.

“I have my biases in this [selection of a campaign manager for NPP] because there is one I believe can do the job better than all of them and obviously is Dan Botwe…,” he said on the programme.

Mr. Botwe as General Secretary of the party led the NPP into power in 2001 and helped it maintain power in 2004, a feat which has only been equaled by current General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia.

Though Mr. Agyarko was the campaign manager for Nana Addo in the just ended NPP presidential primaries which he won 94% of votes, Mr. Botwe is still tipped to win the race for Campaign Manager.
