NPP to build landing beach to honour President Mills
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, New Patriotic
Party(NPP) Presidential Hopeful, says his
government will construct a landing beach project
and name it after the late President John Evans
Atta Mills.

He said the project, which has been on the drawing
board over the years at Ekumfi Otuam would be
built in the first year of office.

Another one at Ekumfi Narkwa will also be
constructed to improve the livelihood of fishermen
and fishmongers in the Ekumfi District.

Nana Addo gave the assurance when he addressed the
chiefs, elders and Queen Mothers of at Ekumfi
Otuam and Ekumfi Esuehyia as part of the five days
tour of the Central Region.

The NPP Presidential Candidate warmly received Mr
Essilfie Buckman, Ekumfi Constituency Chairman of
NDC and his executives who have defected to the
NPP and asked them to join forces together to win
the elections.

According to Nana Addo, the projects are dear to
his heart and NPP, adding that the delayed has
affected the lives of people in the Ekumfi
traditional Area and promised to construct them if
Ghanaians voted NPP to power on December Polls.

Nana Addo stressed that the landing beach at
Ekumfi Otuam would be constructed to honour the
late Professor Mills who hailed from the town.

Nana Addo, as a sign of respect to late President
Mills, asked the chiefs, elders and party
supporters gathered at Otuam Methodist School Park
rally ground to observe a minute of silence in
memory of the late President.

He said:” May his soul rest perfectly in the
bosom of God.”

Nana Addo gave the assurance that the people of
Ekumfi Constituency and the Region as a whole
should use their thumps to vote President John
Dramani Mahama out of power.

He said the country was well endowed with
abundance riches but yet Ghanaians were facing
abject poverty due to bad mismanagement of
national resources under the National Democratic
Congress (NDC) government for the past eight
years.

The NPP Presidential Candidate said the first
National capital budget for 2017, a total of 275
million dollars would be allocated to each
constituency for infrastructural development.

According to Nana Addo the one District one
factory policy will never be abandoned as some
political opponents have been saying to throw dust
into the eyes.

He said under an NPP government education would be
giving a top priority, adding that free SHS
education still remained as a major policy of NPP
when voted to power.

Nana Addo was accompany by Mr Robert Kutin, NPP
Regional Chairman, Mr Alan Kojo Kyerematen, former
Minister of Trade and Industry, Mr K.T. Hammond,
MP for Effiduase in the Ashanti region, Dr Kofi
Konadu Apraku, former Minister of Trade and
Industry and Regional Integration and former MP
for Offinso North and Mr Stephen Asamoah Boateng,
former Minister of Information.

Nana Addo and his entourage called on the Acting
Omanhene of Ekumfi, Idan VI and his subjects at
Ekumfi Esuehyia.

Nana Idan appealed to the NPP Presidential
Candidate to upgrade the Health Care Centre at
Esueshyia to District Hospital.

He appealed to Nana Addo to complete the
construction of the roads, and improve water
projects in the Traditional Area.

Nana Addo, called on the Spiritual Head of Saviour
Church of Ghana, Elia Dadiako Asante at Gomoa
Nyanyano and Nana Ninsin XVIII, Chief of Gomoa
Akotsi in the Gomoa East District.

Mr Kyerematen said NPP was capable to create more
jobs and wealth under the one district one factory
policy as contained in the Party’s Manifesto.

He said the NDC as a social democratic party never
created a single social Intervention to cushion
the population.

Mr Kyerematen said Nana Addo was the only person,
Ghanaians could trust to deliver them from the
vicious cycle of poverty.

He said businesses had collapsed under NDC
government due to high interest rate from single
digit to double and arbitrary increase of import
and export duties.

Mr Kyerematen hinted that Government under Nana
Addo would reduce drastically import and export
duties to help the growth of businesses in the
country and beyond.
