Remember your Promise-Ghanaians called on Mills
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, Jan 5, Ghanadot - Few days after Professor John Evans
Atta Mills of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)
successfully won the closely contested runn-off to become
the president of the Republic of Ghana, members of the
general public have once again called on him to remember his
promise of creating a better Ghana for all.
Speaking to GhanaDot, Mr. Moses Baah, a banker in Accra
said, he personally expect the president-elect to create
more jobs as most of the people are jobless and also create
better living conditions to teachers as promised.
"I would not like to see him taking a different path just
because he is the new president, imposing new policies and
undermining the previous government's work. He should pick
up from where he took the post". He added.
According Felix a mechanic, Ghana is lacking behind as far
as development and infrastructure is concerned. He said he
hopes that as Ghana, with one voice, successfully elected
Professor Mills, he expects that his promises to the country
and its people will be met.
He maintained that Ghanaians are still waiting for him, to
reduce the petroleum products as promised, adding that for
the nation to fully believe in the government of the NDC
Professor Mills should not go back on his words since it was
because of his words that got him presidency.
A trader at the Kaneshie market, Maame Esi called on the
president-elect to make it his priority to ensure that after
reducing the prices of petroleum products, drivers of
commercial vehicles are made to reduce their transport fares
as well, since that is what is creating the problem.
"Before the elections, Professor Mills promised to reduce
petrol prices in 100 days when he wins, now that he is
elected as the next president for the country, it is my wish
that as soon as he does that, he will continue to make sure
that drivers also reduce transport fares so that food stuffs
will also be cheaper for all".
She also appealed to the new president to continue with the
good policies of the previous government and also aimed at
unifying the country, rather than starting new policies
which will not bring immediate benefit to the Ghanaian.
Mr. Boateng also said that unity of the country is what he
seeks from the president-elect, as one close look at the
election results will tell you that the country is now split
in the middle adding that he hopes he can deliver on the
expectations of the majority of Ghanaians, because in four
years the people will judge him again.
