Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic
Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has appealed to the people of Togo to
stay away from Ghana’s upcoming general elections.The opposition leader
addressing thousands of supporters and sympathizers of the elephant family in
French at the first of a series of regional rallies at Aflao in the Volta
Region, Sunday, said the people of Togo can help Ghana’s democratic process by
ensuring that they abstain from the December 7 polls.
He was very
optimistic that Togo being a very good neighbor of the former British Colony
will take note of his plea and ensure that Ghanaians alone choose their
president who will man the country for the next four years.
Speaking
further, he urged the people of Volta Region to also say no to tribal politics
and vote for the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition in the upcoming general
elections.
Nana Addo described as sad the recent comments of the
President John Dramani Mahama asking Northerners to vote for him because he is
of Northern extraction.
He says the President has turned to tribal
politics because “he can feel defeat stirring at his face.” |
