Akufo Addo, the Flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
has assured the people of Ghana that he was prepared to
continue with the good works of President John A Kufour.
He said although the President could not complete some of
the works he started, “I am ready to continue and even add
more”.
Nana Addo was speaking at separate rallies at Bibiani, Sefwi
Bekwai and Ankwamanso in the Amenfi Central of the Western
Region on Tuesday.
This marked the beginning of a five-day tour of the northern
parts of the Western Region.
He pointed out that, when elected as the President, he would
ensure that the school feeding programme, which is on a
pilot basis becomes accessible to all schools across the
country.
Nana Addo said education ws his priority and he would do all
in his power to ensure that the lives of teachers became
better, adding that, “I will ensure that teachers do not
have problems with their salaries”.
This, he said, will help in ensuring that teaching and
learning in the various schools becomes effective and
efficient.
The NPP Flag bearer explained that he entered into politics
not for fame or to become prosperous, but to share his
knowledge in politics, to enhance the country's democracy.
“I have come into politics to do more and move the nation
forward,” he stressed.
Nana Addo urged all Ghanaians to avoid acts that could mar
the peace the country was enjoying, saying, “the world is
looking up to Ghana as a nation which is peaceful, let us
avoid tribal politics. We want politics of solidarity”.
Odeneho Gyapong Ababio II, President of the National House
of Chiefs and the Omanhene of the Sefwi Bekwai Traditional
Area, said chiefs were enthused that NPP had elected a flag
bearer who was confident and competent to lead the people.
“President Kufour has done a lot,” adding, “he has already
paved the way and there is the need for someone to
continue”.
He urged Nana Akufo Addo to remember Sefwi Bekwai when he
voted into power.
“When you come into power, we need a new district. Sefwi
Bekwai should be carved from Bibiani Ahwiaso Bekwai District
for us to have more development project,” he requested.
He urged all to rally behind the NPP, saying, “when we have
given them power, we will be able to ask them whatever we
need in our area”.
Madam Grace Omaboe, an actress, noted that several
governments have come into power, but this current
government has helped to improve the living conditions of
the people.
She mentioned the National Health Insurance Scheme, school
feeding programme, free maternal care among others as some
of the interventions of government that has help to improve
the lives of the people.
“Look at the roads, stadia, school and other things that the
government has constructed and continues to do”, she said,
adding, “Let us vote for the NPP to continue with its good
works”.
She encouraged all to spread the good news about the NPP
wherever they found themselves for the party to win the
December general elections.
