RAWLINGS AND KUFUOR MADE OUR LIVES
BETTER: VOLTA RESIDENTS TELL NANA ADDO
Residents of Ho, Sokode, Kpeve, Have, Hohoe and surrounding
villages in the Volta region did not hesitate to confess
their frustrations with the President Mills led NDC
administration to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2012
presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo, when the latter
took his listening tour to their various communities last
Thursday.
At Anyinawase, an elder of the community, Fo Divine, said
"we will no longer put all our eggs in one basket. We are
happy that Nana has come here today and we want to assure
him that the child who shows respect to his father is shown
back same."
At Kpeve, residents told Nana Addo that they have been
deceived by the NDC. Davi Esi said "all the promises they
made to us have not been kept and we are fed up."
The township of Hohoe was thrown into frenzy when Nana Addo
got there.
Walking through the principal streets and later to the main
market and Zongo areas, Nana Addo interacted with many of
the people, shaking hands with as many as he could.
A charged youth group drummed their way through the thick
crowd to have audience with Nana.
They said "we the youth in the Volta region will no longer
allow ourselves to be fooled. We worked hard for the NDC to
make sure Prof Mills won the elections but he has since
forgotten about us. We will not repeat the mistake of the
past."
They assured Nana Addo that they will go round the villages
and tell their people to ignore the lies and propaganda and
rather vote for the one who says he will bring free senior
high school education.
The third and final day of the NPP flagbearer's first phase
of his listening tour of the region took him to Buem,
Jasikan, Biakoye, Worawora, Nkonya and Vakpo where similar
sentiments and concerns were brought to his attention.
He also paid visits to the Jasikan College of Education,
Bueman SHS and Worawora SHS where he reminded the students
of his commitment to providing free senior high school
education for the youth and people of Ghana.
The NPP leader has since returned to Accra and will be
heading back to the region for the second phase of the tour
in the coming weeks.
