Older generation urged
to tell CPP story to the youth
Sogakope (V/R), July 21, Ghanadot/GNA-The Flagbearer of the
Convention Peoples' Party, Dr Paa Kwesi Ndoum at the
week-end 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 in 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 said 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 understood 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".
