AKUFO-ADDO REAFFIRMS PROMISE OF BUILDING A
NEW SOCIETY OF OPPORTUNITIES
The 2012 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party,
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has reaffirmed his promise of
building a new society of opportunities if elected President
of Ghana in the 2012 general elections.
This was contained in a New Years’ Message delivered to
Ghanaians.
Nana Addo first made this promise at a Thanksgiving Service
held at the Ridge Church on Saturday, August 14th 2010,
where members of the NPP gave thanks to the Almighty God for
His dominion over the historic NPP presidential primaries.
He, at the time, said, “The ultimate test for Ghana’s
democracy, besides confidence in the electoral system, is by
winning the enduring war against mass poverty and this can
be achieved by building a new society of opportunities.”
This new society of opportunities, he said, would be built
through the radical intensification of efforts in pursuing
the transformation and modernisation of the national
economy, so that it could create jobs and prosperity for the
broad mass of the people on the basis of social justice, the
rule of law, respect for human rights, the principles of
democratic accountability, and individual liberty and
enterprise.
Reaffirming the promise made in August 2010, Nana Addo said
one way of pursuing the agenda of creating a new society of
opportunities for every Ghanaian was continuing all the
progressive programmes that the NPP administration, under
President John Agyekum Kufuor, initiated.
“Ours is to build a new Ghana, where fairness, freedom and
fraternity are supreme. We will, therefore, not relent in
our established efforts to provide affordable, quality
healthcare for all and to give free, quality education and
skills for jobs to every Ghanaian child or youth, regardless
of the circumstances of birth. We are the party that can fix
it. We are the NPP”, Nana Addo added.
Nana Addo pledged to make Ghana a safe, peaceful, united and
truly democratic country to live in, where the rule of law,
human rights, and the principles of democratic
accountability are respected.
“There is hope for Ghana. There is a brighter future ahead
of us all. Victory is, indeed, promised to those who
persevere. Ghana is destined to succeed. You can trust us to
make Ghana succeed. We are the NPP”, Nana Addo said in
concluding.
