NPP Flag bearer campaigns in
Brong Ahafo
Drobo (B/A), Sept.06, GNA– Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, NPP
Flagbearer, at the weekend reiterated the party’s commitment
to play within the confines of the game to ensure that peace
prevails in the country before, during and after the
elections.
He advised NPP supporters and activists not to allow
themselves to be used to foment trouble by indulging in
unhealthy political debates and arguments with opponents, as
such acts have the potential to create violence and tension.
“We don’t want bloodshed in this country, you must strive to
conduct yourselves properly ahead of the elections, in order
to maintain the peace and unity in the country, because we
are one people with a common destiny,” the Flagbearer
stressed.
Nana Akufo-Addo was addressing a rally at Drobo, capital of
Jaman South District of Brong-Ahafo as part of his seven-day
tour of the region.
He dismissed claims by some political opponents that the NPP
was planning to rig the December election.
“It is now very clear that these people have come to terms
with the possibility of losing the elections and would
therefore resort to baseless allegations because they have
nothing to tell the good people of Ghana”, he added.
The Flagbearer appealed to the people of Drobo to vote
massively for the party, so it could continue with the good
policies initiated under President Kufuor and gave assurance
that the area would enjoy its fair share of the national
cake when elected as President.
He promised to put a system of education in place that would
ensure that both the rich and poor have equal access to
education and would remove all restrictions in the school
feeding programme to cover all schools.
Nana Akufo-Addo stated that, it was his dream to eliminate
illiteracy in the country the next decade, hence the promise
to extend free education to senior high schools.
Earlier, Mr. Alan Kyeremanten, Madam Grace Omaboe and Madam
Anna Nyamekye and some other party stalwarts took turns to
address the rally.
The flagbearer and his entourage were given a tumultuous
welcome with the ‘Kangaroo dance’ by the people in the towns
he visited and paid courtesy calls on the chiefs.
The towns included Gonasua, Japeikrom, Dwenem, Jejemireja,
Amasu and Nkrankwanta.
