NDC supporters pledge allegiance to NPP
Laboano (V/R), April 8, Ghanadot/GNA -
Groups of perceived NDC supporters from about 15
communities, including Pusupu, Ntrubo, Attakorpe and Laboano
and their environs in the Nkwanta South Constituency have
shifted their allegiance to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Members of the groups announced their switch at the
inauguration of the Northern Volta branch of Traditional
Herbalists and Psychic Healers Association at Loboano at the
weekend.
Nana Kra-Kumah, Chairman of the Northern Volta branch of
Traditional Healers Association and a spokesman for the
groups, cited deepening democracy, rule of law and
accelerated development under the government as their
motivation to shift allegiance to the NPP.
He said the Kufuor-led government had demonstrated
consistency and commitment towards rural dwellers in the
national reconstruction programme, adding that “the
conscious accelerated and expanded development in all
spheres of the national economy, irrespective of creed,
race, political affiliation, religious belief and
ethnicity,” appealed to their hearts and feelings.
Nana Kra-Kumah, also Mankrado of Pusupu, said it was only
wise to support a government that had mainstreamed rural
dwellers as part of its development agenda.
Togbe Klutse II, Chief of Laboano, commended the government
for constructing a concrete bridge over river Laboano to
link the community to other areas.
He prayed for peaceful conduct of the December general
election and appealed to Ghanaians to politically tolerate
one another.
Mr Joseph Booker Denteh, Nkwanta District Chief Executive,
inaugurating the Association, appealed to members to operate
within the national Constitution and join all-related
umbrella organizations to have a strong voice to project
their common interests.
The DCE said the decision of the groups to join the NPP
voluntarily attested to the visionary and dynamism of
government with blessing from God.
He advised them to be steadfast.
