The main opposition party, the New Patriotic
Party (NPP) says it has come across a communiqué from the ruling National
Democratic Congress (NDC) instructing authorities of the Metro Mass Transit
company not to render any of its services to the NPP from 4th December this year
in the run up to the 7th December elections.This is to make sure the NPP
does not have the opportunity to transport its members en bloc to any part of
the country to go and vote for it because some of the party’s supporters have
their votes in their home towns.
According to the party’s Sunyani East
Parliamentary candidate, Kwesi Ameyaw Cheremey, the move is an indication that
the NDC knows it will lose the election hence it is doing everything possible to
thwart efforts of the NPP from winning the election.
Kwasi Ameyaw
Cheremey revealed this during the final regional rally of the party at Sunyani
in the Brong Ahafo Region last Friday. According to him, the NDC in the
communiqué planned to pay for all the buses so that they will be parked till the
election is over; except those which will be used by the
party.
Continuing, he repeated the allegation by the NPP deputy national
general secretary, Nana Obiri Boahen that, locked funds of the defunct DKM is
with President Mahama and his wife Lordina. He wondered why the government after
saying it will liquidate all assets of DKM to re-pay customers did not sell a
single property of the company yet it is paying part of the investment. This, he
said, meant the money is with Mahama and his wife. He told the crowd if they
need their full investment, then they should vote for Nana Addo to power to
retrieve their monies for them.
A popular comedian, Kofi Adu alias Agya
Koo who jokingly said he will attend Kumasi Technical University when Nana Addo
becomes president, seriously urged the people to vote for Nana Addo because
Ghanaians are suffering. He said, though the country has so many natural
resources like gold, diamond, iron, manganese among others, citizens are
struggling to make ends meet. He asked the people to go to the polling stations
in their numbers and vote for Nana Addo. |
