PNC
will ensure mutually beneficial partnership with USA -
Mahama
Accra, July 28, Ghanadot/GNA - Dr Edward Mahama,
Presidential Candidate for the Peoples National Convention
(PNC), has stated that under his administration, Ghana's
partnership with the United States of America would be
mutually beneficial, reciprocal and respectful.
He said that instead of Ghanaians queuing at the U.S Embassy
to look for visas to America, the reverse would be true
because of the kind of policies the PNC government would
introduce and implement.
Dr Mahama in a statement issued on Monday about his trip to
the United States, described the trip as a resounding
success and said the reception he had received in the USA
had been pleasant.
"Ghana, under my presidency will build a true and durable
partnership with the United States," he emphasized and added
that the PNC-led administration would also put in place
programmes that would attract Ghanaians in the Diaspora who
want to come home but do not have the opportunity.
As part of his tour, the PNC Leader also attended the
Ghanafest, a Ghanaian Festival in America, which brings
together a lot of Ghanaians to discuss developmental issues
affecting Ghana.
Dr Mahama said that at the festival most of the Ghanaians
gave comments to show their support for his party.
He also used the forum to talk about the need for peaceful
elections, which he said was in support of the recently
launched Political Party's code.
"I have personally contributed to the prevailing peace in
Ghana by the fact that I have always been the first to
concede defeat when elections results are declared and it is
not in my favour."
Dr Mahama urged Ghanaians to vote massively for the party
since he had the best policies and programme for the
country's development.
Dr Mahama is visiting the USA to meet with various groups to
discuss his political agenda and programmes with development
partners.
He was accompanied by his wife, Mrs Comfort Mahama, Alhaji
Ahmed Ramadan, National Chairman of the PNC, Mr Haruna
Sumani, the Policy Analyst of PNC and Mr Francis Daasu, one
of the Greater Accra Youth Organizer of the PNC.
