Flagbearer hopeful for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has indicated Ghanaians need to change their mindset to make the country a better place.

“In this country, foreigners have proven to us that we are not poor. Foreigners come here and make money because they are disciplined”.

Kennedy Agyapong made the call when he submitted his nomination forms to contest the flagbearer position of the NPP.

Addressing the media, the Assin Central Member of Parliament noted that Ghanaians need to be patriotic and love the country they are in.

According to the lawmaker, he feels hurt anytime a Ghanaian boasts of having a foreign passport.

He added that even though the country is going through some hardships, Ghanaians must be willing to fight for their country and show some level of discipline in everything that they do.

Ken Agyapong also emphasized that, when given the nod to lead the NPP and the nation, the media would be engaged to create awareness of being patriotic.

Kennedy Ohene Agyapong becomes the eighth aspirant to file nominations after former Trades Minister Alan Kyerematen, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former General Secretary, Kwabena Agyapong, former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko, Dr. Konadu Apraku, former Agric Minister Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Kojo Poku.
