Older generation urged
to tell CPP story to the youth
Soakage, (V/R), July 20, Ghanadot/GNA-The Flag bearer of the
Convention Peoples' Party, Dr Paa Kwesi Ndoum on Saturday
urged the older generation to tell the youth the "CPP's
glorious history".
He said Ghanaians needed to rediscover the "lost glory of
yester-years"
by voting the CPP into power as the best alternative to both
the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic
Congress (NDC), which he said, have dashed the hopes of the
country".
Dr Ndoum made the call at a rally at Sogakope where hundreds
of people queued to take advantage of the party's free
membership registration.
"Rediscover your lost glory in the CPP the only party to
give you the jobs, you want, the education that gives you
the skills and direction of national development as it did
from 1957 to 1965", he exhorted.
Dr. Ndoum said the common man in Ghana today is poorer and
more frustrated following years of misrule and urged the
youth to look into their pockets and reject both the NPP and
the NDC for the CPP.
"Before coming into power the NPP asked Ghanaians to look at
their living conditions before voting, today I ask Ghanaians
to look into their pockets to examine whether they are
poorer or not to be able to vote wisely", he said.
Dr Ndoum asserted that from the Presidential to the
Parliamentary candidates in this year's elections, the CPP
is the only party fielding the most youthful, vibrant and
competitive candidates who best understand the pains and
aspirations of the country's youth and capable of addressing
them.
He said education and job creation would remain the top
priority of his government and that the current management
of the Free Compulsory Basic Education (FCUBE) was not the
best and promised that the CPP would run it better.
Dr Kwesi Sarfo, a leading member of the party said the CPP
government would reach out for the rich skills and the
abundant intellectual resources in the Volta Region to
advance the course of the region's development and that of
the country.
Dr Kwesi Asilevi, an Engineer and Lecturer at the Regional
Maritime Academy and the party's parliamentary candidate for
South Tongu, said a CPP victory would amount to a
"resurrection of the country".
