PNC will bridge the gap between the
North and the south- Says National Chairman
Accra, Sept. 19, Ghanadot/GNA- Alhaj Ahmed Ramadan, National
Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC) said on
Friday that the party would implement good policies to
bridge the gap between the North and the South when voted
into power in the December elections.
He said, “The three Northern regions have not benefited much
from government policies of both the past and present, due
to lack of good implementation.”
Speaking to Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview in
Accra, Alhaji Ramadan said the PNC government would take
pragmatic measures such as giving serious attention to shea
butter making, providing adequate farming facilities to
farmers as well as using the youth in the north as agents
for development.
Alhaji Ramadan added that the PNC government would give the
same benefits that cocoa farmers were enjoying such as free
spraying of farms, providing them with guarantees to access
farm tools to rice, yam as well as citrus farmers.
He said the conflicts in the north is a true reflection of
poverty and suffering that the people were going through,
adding that, the situation could only be remedied when there
were enough jobs for the youth to earn their income.
Briefing GNA on this year’s elections, Alhaji Ramadan said,
the party will contest all the 230 parliamentary seats in
the country and that they intend to win.
He also disclosed that, Dr.Edward Mahama, PNC’s Presidential
Candidate is touring some parts of the Volta and Eastern
Regions.
Alhaji Ramadan said PNC believes strongly in women and the
youth and that they would implement policies that would
benefit them.
