NANA ADDO Dankwa Akufo-Addo, presidential
aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), says the 1.5 million votes the ruling
National Democratic Congress (NDC) has targeted in the Ashanti Region is
unrealistic.According to him, the NPP is still firmly in control of the
region therefore, the NDC’s claim that it would win more votes there during the
December 7 polls is a mere fluke.
Nana Akufo-Addo noted that the NPP
would rather increase its votes in the Ashanti Region, which would automatically
lead to significant decrease in NDC’s votes.
According to him, the NDC is
aware that it will struggle to get the votes that it garnered in the region in
2012, but it is only giving false hopes to its supporters.
Nana said he
is not expecting the leadership of the NDC to tell its supporters that the party
would lose miserably in the region this time round.
The NPP leader
therefore, said he was not bothered or scared about the NDC’s orchestrated claim
that it would win a staggering 1.5 million votes in the Ashanti
Region.
Nana Akufo-Addo, who is on a four-day campaign tour of the
region, made these observations in an interview with Kofi Asante of Nhyira FM in
Kumasi on Thursday.
The NPP flag bearer said he doesn’t waste his
precious time to listen to the false hopes and lies that the NDC leadership has
been telling party supporters.
He noted that lies had become part of the
NDC administration therefore, he (Nana Akufo-Addo) and the NPP hierarchy don’t
take whatever the leadership of the NDC say seriously. |
