Nduom pledges support for Zongo communities
Accra, March 8, Ghanadot/GNA - Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, Flag
bearer of the Convention People's Party (CPP), on Saturday
pledged the party's commitment to bridge the gap between
people living in the southern part of the country and those
up north, promising that the interests of Zongo communities
would be paramount.
Interacting with Zongo chiefs and the Muslim community at
Kawukudi, Nima in Accra, Dr Nduom said the CPP believed in
social justice and equitable distribution of wealth and
should therefore be given the mandate to rule to prove their
capabilities.
He noted that the party had included Zongo people in the
party's leadership to serve as their mouthpiece and
therefore their interests would be fully represented.
He said the CPP had adopted a seven-year national
development plan to respond to current needs of the economy
and provide the needed transformation in terms of
infrastructure, social amenities and other economic
opportunities for those in Northern Ghana.
Dr Nduom said it was not true that he was a member of the
New Patriotic Party (NPP) because he took an appointment
under the NPP administration, instead he had always stood
for the principles of the CPP, which believed in peace,
unity and sharing.
He urged the youth who had attained 18, to register and
exercise their franchise come December, saying "The jobs and
the development you want to see in the north would become a
reality depending on whom you vote for. Vote for CPP and get
hope for the future".
