Akufo-Addo resumes Accra tour with change agenda
The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, last Saturday resumed his campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region with a positive feedback to supporters that the Volta Region, touted by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as its ‘world bank’ has embraced change that would see the transfer of power to the NPP in the December polls.

Nana Akufo-Addo, who completed a week’s tour of the Volta Region last Friday, told teeming crowds at different locations in Accra that they ought to have been in the Volta Region to witness what occurred and the overarching clamour for change by the people of the region.
“Those who boast of the Volta Region as their world bank should stand well because their ‘world bank’ is about to become something else,” he said to loud cheers from the gathering.
He visited the Okaikoi Central, Okaikoi South and Ablekuma Central Constituencies where he introduced the parliamentary aspirants for the areas to huge gatherings of party faithful and sympathisers.
Parliamentary aspirants
The parliamentary aspirants for those areas are Patrick Yaw Boamah, Okaikoi Central; Ahmed Arthur, Okaikoi South; and Ebenezer Nii Narh Nartey, Ablekuma Central.
He said it had become apparent that Ghanaians were fed up with the administration of President John Dramani Mahama that had brought nothing but pain and suffering to the majority of Ghanaians.
By speaking the truth to Ghanaians, he said, he had become an object of insults and unkind words. He stated: “I am not perturbed by their insults now or ever. I have not committed any crime, so don’t be worried. I know the plans that God has given me to restore this country to glory.”
For that reason, he said he would continue to make passionate appeals to the people of Ghana to vote for him and the NPP to take over the governance of the country in order to restore hope to the masses.

He said President Mahama seemed to have taken particular exception to his passionate pleas and appeals to the people of Ghana to vote the NPP to power, saying he would not budge in that regard because true power lies in the hands of the people and for which reason he ought to plead with them to entrust him with the responsibility for salvaging the country from doom.
“We are going to build the civilisation of Ghana that will be the light of civilisation for Africa and the rest of the world,” he said.
A government of humility and service
Nana Akufo-Addo said his government would be one of humility and service but not arrogance as had been the stock-in-trade of some who had shown open arrogance to the people of Ghana, thinking and believing that Ghanaians had a short memory span and would soon forget.
“This is not a campaign talk. I will never stand before Ghanaians and promise what I cannot deliver, unlike the Green Book of the NDC which lists a number of projects said to have been undertaken, but not in real terms; I am committed to carrying out what I have said to the good people of Ghana,” he stressed.
