I remain unfazed by desperate NDC's propaganda - Akufo-Addo
The 2016 presidential candidate of the New
Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo, says he remains unfazed by the lies,
fabrications and propaganda which will be churned
out by operatives of the Mahama government, with
24 days to the conduct of the December 7
election.

Addressing a mammoth night rally at Drobo, in the
Jaman South constituency, on Saturday, November
12, 2016, the 3rd day of his tour of the
Brong-Ahafo Region, Nana Akufo-Addo stated that
“knowing full well they have lost the election,
they are going to resort to lies, propaganda and
fabrications against my person.”

Nonetheless, the NPP flagbearer stated that “I
remain unfazed by all of these. I have not stolen
anyone’s money, neither have I killed anyone. I
don’t really care what they are going to say
about me.”

In addition to the vile campaign that will be
waged against his person, Nana Akufo-Addo revealed
that the NDC propaganda machinery has been put in
overdrive, with the aim of “setting tribe
against tribe, and telling Ghanaians that the NPP
hates Northerners, even though my running mate is
from the North.”

“They will say the NPP will drive Muslims,
Northerners and residents in Zongo communities
away from Ghana. All these are not true. They are
nothing, but pure lies.”

Nana Akufo-Addo, thus, urged Ghanaians not to pay
heed to the politics of division and tribalism,
which has become the NDC’s stock in trade,
stressing that “we are all one people in Ghana.
Whether you are Mamprusi, Dagarti, Frafra,
Ashanti, Ewe, Ga, Fante, Kwahu, Akyem, Nzema, or
Ahanta, we are one people, we’re all Ghanaians.
Let us use our energies to push Ghana forward and
stop the divisive talk and reactionary
politics.”

He also appealed to the Ghanaian electorate to
vote into office a competent government whose
preoccupation will be to improve on the standards
of living of the Ghanaian, explaining that
President Mahama, over the last eight years, has
amply demonstrated that he “cannot do the job,
the reason why we are all suffering in Ghana.”

In spite of President Mahama’s abysmal
performance in office, Nana Akufo-Addo noted that
the real reason for the President’s
determination to stay in office is “because of
the perquisites and benefits of office for
himself, his family and close associates.”

For that reason, the NPP flagbearer indicated that
“President Mahama will say and do any and
everything to hang onto power.”

The recent, partial restoration of the nurses
training allowances, in spite of the President’s
avowed decision not to restore them over the last
three years, according to Nana Akufo-Addo, is an
example of President Mahama’s desperation to
hang onto power.

“Because the elections are drawing near, he has
restored them,” the NPP flagbearer said.

Again, with a few days to the elections, the NPP
flagbearer has revealed that after imposing undue
hardship on Ghanaians through high prices of
petroleum products, “I have learnt that
President Mahama is set to reduce prices of
petroleum products through the reduction of the
petroleum These, Nana Akufo-Addo described, are
“small petty tricks to deceive the people of
Ghana.

This is not serious statesmanship or governance of
our nation. This is not the way we want to see our
country develop. We want the truth to prevail at
all times.”
