I would give priority to Volta
University- Mike Oquaye.
Hohoe, July 10, GNA- Professor Mike Oquaye, aspiring New
Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential candidate at the weekend
said a "University of the Volta" would be a priority under
his administration because of the support and toil of the
people in the region for the Progress Party in the past.
He said the region returned the highest votes in the 1960
elections for the Busia/Danquah tradition, which had now
been usurped by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Professor Oquaye who is also the Member of Parliament (MP)
for Kwabenya said this during a meeting with delegates,
polling station chairmen and constituency executives from
Hohoe north and south constituencies at Hohoe.
He said an operation dubbed "Sankofa" would be staged to
revert the political fortunes of the region to its former
stance to appease the founders of the party.
"The Volta Region would assume its rightful position
politically and look differently under my administration,"
Professor Oquaye stated.
He said he had the capacity to hold on to political power
for the NPP, and annul any threat of the NDC flagbearer,
Professor John Atta Mills, because he (Oquaye) had a lot of
comparative advantage over him and therefore should be the
preferred choice.
Professor Oquaye pledged to remodel the economy and give it
a better footing than it is presently.
He assured the constituencies that with his moral, spiritual
and financial assistance, he would be able to deliver the
two Hohoe seats.
Mr Abdallah Mohamed Sadiq, chairman of the Hohoe-North
constituency on behalf of the supporters congratulated the
aspirant for his support to the constituency in the 2004
general elections.
