Kwaku Owusu Antwi, a former independent
presidential aspirant, yesterday declared his total support for the New
Patriotic Party’s presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo.According to Mr Antwi, his reason for throwing his weight
behind the NPP flagbearer is the leadership crisis and abject poverty being
experienced by Ghanaians under the Mahama-led NDC government.
At a press
conference yesterday, he said he opted out of the presidential race after taking
into considerations the leadership skills of the NPP flagbearer.
“I
stopped the process of filing as an independent presidential candidate in order
to throw my unflinching support for the NPP flagbearer, Nana Addo,” he
stated.
“Many reasons informed my decision to back the incoming President
of Ghana, 2017, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. In light of the fact that we have
an appreciably array of personalities who could be worth the time, the
exceptional man in this list of presidential hopefuls is the flagbearer of the
NPP,” he said.
He added that the exemplary tolerance exhibited by Nana
Akufo- Addo in the face of mass vilifications and vituperations uttered by
persons like Hassan Ayariga, and the other paid propagandists of the NDC
including Akua Donkor informed his decision to associate himself with the NPP
flagbearer.
“Nana Addo is an epitome of civility, I am yet to come across
any incident, whether private or public, that has involved him in any untoward
behaviour, contrary to the lewd and indecorous accusations heaped on him by the
NDC,” he said.
He told the media that the numerous overpriced projects
going on in the country had become the order of the day and can only be stopped
by voting President Mahama and the NDC out.
“Ridge hospital is the most
expensive project ever in the country which costs the country $250 million by
the NDC government, Western corridor roads are being overpriced and even with
that the roads are deteriorating.’’
He ended by urging Ghanaians to
police their polling stations on December 7 in order to ensure that the NPP wins
the elections.
