Returning the NPP or the NDC will be a
mistake – PNC
Tolon (NR), Aug. 22, Ghanadot/GNA
– Mr Dokurugu Sulemana, People’s National Convention (PNC)
parliamentary candidate for Tolon, has appealed to
electorates not to vote back into office the New Patriotic
Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress.
He said it would be a mistake to return into office any of
the two parties which had worsened the economic woes of
Ghanaians.
Mr Sulemana said this when he addressed party faithful at
separate functions at Tolon, Tali and Wantigu in the Tolon
Constituency to introduce himself as the PNC candidate and
also to solicit for their votes in the December 7, 2008
election.
He said Ghanaians had gone through difficulties under the
governments of the NDC and the NPP, which should serve as a
wake-up call for the electorates to vote for the PNC as the
better alternative for real change.
Mr Sulemana told the electorates: “Let us collect the money
that they will bring but vote them out since it is our tax
refund in disguise.”
He urged the electorates not to panic by what he described
as “hired crowds” they saw at NDC and NPP‘s rallies and
functions saying: “If crowds win elections, the NDC would
not have lost in the 2000 elections.”
He said the PNC government, under Dr Edward Mahama, would
focus on mechanized agriculture with emphasis on subsidy and
improved roads.
Mr Sulemana said the tarring of the Nyankpala/Tolon road had
been long overdue and promised to use part of his share of
the MP’s Common Fund when voted into office to tar it.
Mr Alhassan Zakaria Gundaah, the PNC Northern Regional
Chairman, asked members of the party to be vigilant on the
voting day to ensure that the ruling NPP did not rig the
elections.
He claimed that both the NDC and the NPP were troublemakers
and advised the electorate to join the PNC for unity,
development and real change to ensure that Ghana remained
peaceful on the continent.
He said the PNC in the Northern Region was already in the
process of ploughing farms for farmers free of charge to
increase productivity and improved the standard of living in
rural areas.
