Don't exert pressure on Prez mills- Aggudey
BY Abdul Salam Sule, Ghanadot

Accra, April 6, Ghanadot - The presidential candidate of the Convention People's Party (CPP) in the 2004 elections, Mr George Opesika Aggudey has called on Ghanaians not to stampede the Mills administration to take decisions which will not be in the interest of the nation.

He explained that the kind of pressure being exerted on the Mills administration to fulfill its campaign promise within the shortest possible time might influence the administration to take certain steps which would be counter productive to the aspirations of the people.

Mr Aguddey made this remarks when he interacted with a number of the leading members of CPP from the various regions at his residence in Accra. He noted that it was too early for the Mills administration which had been in office for only three months to chalk up any successes.

"It is premature for the people to expect his administration to turn around their conditions within this short period after assuming political power", he said.

According to him, President Mills is at the moment putting in place the neccessary structures which would facilitate the delivery of his campaign promises during his term of office.

"The President does not at the moment have the full complement of his appointees from the districts to the national level and this he has to be accomplished before policies and programmes could be implemented across the country for the benefit of the people", he added.

Mr Agudey noted that there were serious challenges confronting the economy that the Kuffour administartion left behind.

He said, the Mills administration has to review its own programmes in the light of the realities on the ground after the its assumption of political office and it could not be carried out in a jiffy.
