CPP is nationalistic in character-
Nduom
Bolgatanga, Nov. 23, Ghanadot/GNA- The Convention People's
Party (CPP) is nationalistic in character and would create a
fertile and common ground in unifying all Ghanaians to pave
way for accelerated development, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, one of
the aspiring presidential candidates of the Party has
stated.
He made this remark in an interview with the Ghana News
Agency (GNA) in Bolgatanga during his tour to solicit for
votes from the delegates in the region.
The aspirant emphasized that the party needed a leadership
that would be able to renew and reinvigorate it to be able
to capture power in 2008.
Dr Nduom said he was invited to serve under the present New
Patriotic Party Government and had done that to the best of
his capacity and admiration of Ghanaians.
He noted that with the experience acquired under the NPP
Government, he would able to turn the fortunes of the CPP
around to enable it win power in 2008.
Dr. Nduom said he initiated the creation of the Gold Coast
Security Company and the First National Savings Loans
Scheme.
He said he would make education one of his top priorities
especially within the Northern regions.
"I would also create more jobs for Ghanaians especially the
youth", saying that, the highway armed robbery and the
rampant killing of people in the country could be attributed
to lack of employment.
He called on party delegates to give him the nod to chair
the affairs of the party to enable it to capture the 2008
general election.
The aspirant appealed to his other colleagues to see
themselves as one and rally behind anyone who would win the
primaries, so that together they could wrest power in the
2008 elections.
Dr. Nduom noted that the CPP since time immemorial had
fought against social injustice, and made Ghanaians to have
a better standard of living under Osagyefo Dr. Kwame
Nkrumah.
He said the CPP had properly mobilized logistics and other
resources to compete with the other parties and plans were
underway to join hands with the People's National Convention
(PNC) to win the forthcoming general election.
