Work hard to ensure victory in 2008
elections - Nduom
Cape Coast, March 24, Ghanadot/GNA- The Flagbearer of the
Convention People’s Party (CPP), Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, on
Monday called on the functionaries and supporters of the CPP
to remain commitment and resolute and work towards the party
winning the December election.
He said, the CPP was a reformed party and the time had come
for its members to effectively market the “new CPP” to the
Ghanaian public who are yearning for a change in their
living conditions particularly their pockets.
Dr. Nduom, who said this at a rally organized by the Cape
Coast constituency of the CPP in Cape Coast, urged Ghanaians
to critically analyze their living conditions and vote for
the CPP which is ready to improve upon their conditions.
He said the CPP was a "brand new party" which has the
welfare of Ghanaians at heart and that, the NDC and NPP have
served Ghanaians enough and should therefore give the CPP
the chance to give Ghanaians the change they are yearning
for and that, they should place their hopes and aspirations
on the CPP for a better Ghana.
“If you vote the CPP into power, you would actually feel the
change in your lives and pockets,” he added.
Dr Nduom said as an individual, he has created more than 500
jobs in the hotel business, security and banking system and
urged the electorate to challenge the various flag bearers
to lay bear their achievements when they attend rallies to
enable them to select rightful person to rule the country.
The Flag bearer said, he performed creditably when he was a
Minister in President Kufuor’s administration and promised
that he work harder when made the President of Ghana, adding
that, if the youth wanted to be out of their current
unemployment situation, they should vote for the CPP which
is the “work Master” to create the necessary jobs for them.
Touching on premix fuel situation in the country, he said it
was unfortunate that the government after signing documents
to allow fishermen themselves to manage the product
themselves, it has rather now taken over it management,
making it difficult for the fishermen.
He said when he becomes President he would change the
situation and give fishermen the power to manage the fuel
themselves instead of politicizing it and also expressed
concern about the way fishing trawlers were still allowed to
move close to the landing bays, thereby destroying fishing
nets and stressed that the practice must be stopped.
Dr. Nduom said despite the fact that the country needed a
change, CPP supporters should not engage in politics of
insults, violence and confusion, but should endeavour to
vote wisely during the elections.
Mr. Harry Mensah, Cape Coast constituency chairman in his
welcoming address, said the CPP was “back to life” with a
dynamic leader and urged all to rally their support behind
him to enable him to win the election.
He said times were difficult for all Ghanaians and that, CPP
if voted into power would initiate moves for a drastic
change in the living conditions of all.
Alhaji Baako, a CPP activist, called for unity among all the
supporters of the party and urged those who left the party
at the time it was “dead” to endeavour to return and join
the new CPP.
He promised that SOYAYA club would be formed in all the
Zongo communities in the country to canvas for more votes
for the party.
