NDC does not serve interests of Voltarians- NPP Loyal Ladies
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Loyal Ladies in the
Volta region are calling on Voltarians to vote out
the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the
December polls because the party does not serve
their interests.

According to them, the NDC government has rejected
and neglected the people in the Volta region after
using them as bait to win power.

The Loyal Ladies claimed NDC used Voltarians for
their own political ends to cling onto power to
amass wealth and to improve their ‘stomach
infrastructure’.

A statement signed by a representative of the
group in Ho Queen Enam Wovenu, it said ‘NDC
should know their place. They do not speak for
Volta, they never have done and they never will
do. The NDC doe not serve our interests. We would
do well to end our tenuous links with them once
and for all. On December 7th, we must vote for
change. It’s time to make Volta great again!
It’s time to make Ghana great again! 2016 is the
year of the Elephant’.

PRESS RELEASE FROM NPP LOYAL LADIES VOLTA *2016 IS
THE YEAR OF THE ELEPHANT-TIME TO MAKE VOLTA GREAT
AGAIN!*

Reality has struck the NDC. The chicken is finally
coming home to roost. After years of taking their
former heartlands for granted, disillusionment
with the NDC government is running rife throughout
Volta.

Voltarians are seeing the NDC for what they are
– a bunch of self-interested crooks that have
used them for their own political ends to cling
onto power, to amass wealth and to improve their
stomach infrastructure. They are seeing through
the spurious claims of regional development and
the whole bread-and circus charade that the NDC
specializes in.

The groundswell of goodwill for Nana Akufo-Addo,
from the chiefs and their subjects, on his recent
visit to the region, is indicative of the winds of
change blowing through the Volta. Quaking in their
boots due to the shifting centre of political
gravity, the shambolic leadership of the NDC has
turned their ire on the Volta chiefs, castigating
them for being “ungrateful” for the so-called
“development” in the region. In one of the
more slanderous attacks, the chiefs have been
accused of lacking “respect and dignity among
their people”, as claimed by the Greater Accra
regional organizer Anthony Nukpeku.

One wonders on what basis he mounts such a vicious
attack on the revered chiefs of the region. When
it comes to respect and dignity, Mr Nukpeku would
do well to recognize these traits are sorely
lacking from the NDC hierarchy, with the President
being the grand symbol of a national laughing
stock.

The name John Mahama has become a byword word for
dumsor, poverty, dilapidation and all round
general incompetence. The Volta chiefs, in their
wisdom, have seen the through the false propaganda
and deceit of the NDC and they have acted
accordingly.

It will be highly disingenuous on the part of the
NDC to dismiss as “not serious” the fact that
57 chiefs, five of whom are paramount chiefs, have
given Nana Akufo-Addo their unflinching support
and goodwill. The attack on these Volta chiefs
therefore by the NDC is the sign of a desperate
party fearful of the thrashing that it is about to
get at the ballot box. It is also evidence that
the NDC’s association with the Volta Region was
only a marriage of convenience.

After years of loyal support, the Volta Region is
still a cesspit of poverty. Is it any wonder that
the chiefs now seek an alternative for their
people? Volta chiefs are the true representatives
of Voltarians.

They have always spoken for us and will continue
to do so – whatever the NDC thinks. Respected,
accessible and legitimate, they command far more
gravitas than any NDC official. They understand
our culture and our people, thus they have earned
the right to speak for us.

The NDC should know their place. They do not speak
for Volta, they never have done and they never
will do. The NDC do not serve our interests. We
would do well to end our tenuous links with them
once and for all.

On December 7th, we must vote for change. It’s
time to make Volta great again! It’s time to
make Ghana great again! 2016 is the year of the
Elephant!!!
