Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the flagbearer of
the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has appealed to the electorate to make his third
appearance on the ballot paper victorious by voting massively for him on
December 7.He said he had a great vision and good intentions for Ghana,
therefore, when given the nod he would work hard to transform the economic
failure that the nation had been plunged into by the current government, into a
successful growing economy to benefit all.
Nana Akufo-Addo, who was
addressing the chiefs and people of Okere, the Nifa Division of the Akuapem
Traditional Area, to begin a five-day tour of the Eastern Region, said the
electorate should, therefore, look beyond party affiliation and vote for him to
get the opportunity to change the cause of Ghana,
He reiterated his
promise of providing ‘One factory for each district’, and explained that the
project would be based on mainly the agriculture produce of the locality to
create jobs as well as a market for the farmers.
The flag bearer promised
that when elected, he would ensure that Okere became a district to be able to
benefit fully from the factory concept since farming was the mainstay of the
people.
He told the chiefs and people that: “Okere is blessed with a
hardworking and respectable M, who is a stalwart of the NPP, but he needs a
President from his party to represent and further your cause even
better.”
The flag bearer ,who was accompanied by the MP for Okere, Mr Dan
Botwe, Mr Alan Kyerematen, a leading member of the Party, and Madam Otiko Afisa
Djaba, the National Women’s; organiser, received a rousing welcome from hundreds
of people from all corners of the Constituency.
Earlier, Nana Opese
Kunadu, the Chief of Awukugua and the acting Nifahene of Akuapem Traditional
Area, said it was high time Okere was accorded a district status and, therefore,
appealed to Nana to consider that when elected. |
