There was a lot of money in the system and
Ghanaians had cash in their pocket when Mr John Kufuor was president, Nana
Obonbo Sewura Lipuwura II, Paramount Chief of Nkwanta Akyode Traditional Area in
the Volta Region has said.He, therefore, says it is only the main
opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) under the leadership and presidency of Nana
Akufo-Addo that can bring prosperity to Ghanaians again.
“Under President
Kufuor’s tenure, I can say with all certainty that all was well with Ghana.
There was money in the land and in the pockets of people. However, under
President Mahama men are crying, women are crying, the youth and old are all
crying,” the Nkwanta Chief lamented.
“There’s a saying that you visit two
markets before one can tell which is the best. We have, indeed, visited two
markets over the last 16 years, and we know which is best. We know it is the NPP
that can help us,” he added on Wednesday, October 26, 2016, when Nana Akufo-Addo
and the leadership of the NPP in the Volta Region paid a courtesy call on him at
his palace in Nkwanta.
Nana Obonbo Sewura Lipuwura II and 56 other chiefs
in the Nkwanta South constituency comprising five Paramount Chiefs and 52
sub-chiefs declared their support for the NPP’s 2016 presidential candidate as
Ghanaians head to the polls on December 7.
With a majority of the youth
of Nkwanta unemployed, Nana Obonbo Sewura Lipuwura II endorsed Nana Akufo-Addo’s
1-District-1-Factory policy, adding that “we know you can do it. We have already
allocated a parcel of land for the factory to be sited. We know you can do
it.”
Akin to the pledge made by Nana Akufo-Addo to create the
‘Western-North’ Region out of the Volta Region, the Chiefs of Nkwanta appealed
to Nana Akufo-Addo “to create the Oti Region, and site the capital in
Nkwanta.”
Nana Obonbo Sewura Lipuwura II, reiterated the unwavering
support of 56 other Chiefs in the Nkwanta Akyode Traditional Area, praying for
good health, wisdom, long life for Nana Akufo-Addo. |
