Nana Addo begs for 50% of Northern Region votes
The opposition New Patriotic Party’s (NPP)
Presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo, has appealed to the electorate in the
Northern Region to give him 50 percent of their
popular vote on December 7.

This, according to Nana Akufo-Addo, will push him
to the Flagstaff House as the next President.
“You have the power and I will continue to beg
you for it to be your obedient servant. Give me 50
percent of the popular votes from the north and I
will create equal opportunities for all. I am
tribal blind and all I see is one Ghana.”

Nana Akufo-Addo made the plea at the party’s
Northern Regional rally at the Tamale Jubilee
Park. An elated Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
promised never to disappoint Ghanaians if they put
their trust in him.

“If you put your trust in me, I promise you I
will never disappoint you, I will never turn my
back on you and I am going to do all that is in my
power to bring to being the vision and prosperity
and the progress that binds us all.”

“If you put your trust in my government, the
government that is going to have some of the most
brilliant people in the political life of our
country, Mahamadu Bawumia, Alan Kyeremanteng and
there are so many of them, men and women who are
ready to give this country a first class
government,” the main opposition leader
stressed. He asked the electorate to decisively
vote for him and all NPP Parliamentary candidates
at the polls.

“If we want change, all of us would have to go
out and vote on December. Don’t let anybody say
that we have already won this election. On that
7th December when you get up, take your card and
go and cast your vote and when you get to the poll
just look for the elephant.”

He reaffirmed his commitment to lead a united
Ghana and promised to create equal opportunities
for all citizens regardless of their geographical
locations. “Within 18 months, my government will
transform Ghana and bring prosperity to every part
of the country. We have the can do spirit and we
are moving ahead to build a new Ghana.” Nana
Akufo-Addo said the next NPP government under his
watch will establish agro industrial businesses to
create thousands of jobs for the unemployed youth
especially in Northern Ghana. “We are going to
improve the agriculture of the Northern Region and
agro industrial businesses will be the predominant
businesses in the Northern Region to create
thousands of jobs for the young people of the
north so that they can stay here in the north and
better their lives here; and that is how we are
going to implement the one district one factory
policy.” He reiterated the NPP’s campaign
promise to restore the National Health Insurance
Scheme (NHIS), and all pro poor programmes
initiated by the erstwhile Kufour led NPP
administration. He added that, the NPP is
committed to revive adult education to harmonize
the party’s 2012 flagship free SHS agenda. He
slammed President John Dramani Mahama over what he
described as his divisive and tribal politics.
“The momentum for change is gathering. Our
President and his party are panicking and
beginning to resort to divisive and tribal
politics. He is saying that he is the champion of
the north. We want one united Ghana and we don’t
want a situation where tribe is set against tribe
and north is set against south; that is the
politics of yesterday. We are moving ahead to a
new destiny, a destiny which has a united
Ghana,” Nana Addo stated. The NPP Presidential
candidate commended the people of Northern Region
for their unflinching support and reminded them of
the need to let it reflect on the ballot on
December 7.
