Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo - A Man Of The People!

Following the unprecedented turn out of events on the first day of Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo's tour to the northern region, one would conclude that he is obviously, the next President of the republic of Ghana. Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo is the peoples' choice. He is a man of the people, with the people and for the people.

The man Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo represents the true hope for the people of Mamprugu and northern Ghana at large. People were seen carrying placards with inscriptions such as 'Nana Addo, 'the President for northerners', 'the president we can trust', 'Nana must come' etcetera.

Nana Addo is the man northerners can trust as many people in this part of our world now feel deceived, abused and misused by the current NDC administration led by H.E John Dramani Mahama. This accounts for the massive defections from the NDC to the NPP that is witnessed here lately.

Through out Nalerigu, Bunkpurugu and yunyoo roads, people were virtually lined up in all communities by the road sides to welcome Nana Addo in to their respective communities, thus compelling him to address them in places that were not part of the itinerary. As a result, he spent the whole day (9:00am to about 7:00pm) touring only two constituencies-Bunkpurugu and Yunyoo constituencies. He entered the 3rd constituency (Nalerigu-Gambaga) after 7:30pm.

Despite the fact that it was raining in most places, people still stood in jubilant mood waiting to listen to the message of hope that the next president of the republic, Insha Allah, brings to them.

As opposed to H.E John Dramani Mahama's accounting to the people tour in the area where school children were forced to leave classes and attend the ceremony, people came out on their own volition being overcome with joy that Nana Akuffo Addo, Alhaji Dr. Mahamud Bawumia, Allan Kyeremanteng, Dr. Kofi Konadu Appraku among notable personalities of the New Patriotic Party were in Mamprugu to address them. No political rally in the annals of our political history has received this overwhelming support and encouragement yet in our area here.

A party sympathizer who wasn't perturbed about the rain, recounted his experience in president Kufuors last campaign visit to Mamprugu ahead of the December 2000 elections. According to him, it rained on the day ex-president Kufuor came to Mamprugu and Kufuor won the general elections. Hence the rain that accompanied Nana Addo in his tour of Mamprugu heralds his victory ahead of the December 2016 elections.- A situation that was meant to mar the rally was turned into a joyous one.

As expected of a competent and responsible leader, Nana Addo did not use the occasion to vilify and demonize other leaders but rather espoused his policies and vision for the people of Mamprugu and the nation at large.

The poor road network, the collapsing national health insurance scheme, high school fees and the high unemployment et cetera will receive major attention from the next NPP administration led by Nana Akuffo Addo. With Nana Addo as president, every district in Ghana will have at least one factory. Agricultural growth will also be given an impetus as many dams will be constructed to aid in dry season farming and also lesson the adverse impact of rain failure.

The NDC can continue to live in illusion. As far as majority of Ghanaians are concerned , free SHS, free maternity care, national health insurance scheme, allowances for nursing students and teacher trainees, job creation and infrastructural development among others must be given life again. This can not be guaranteed with the continuous stay of the NDC in office.

A vote for the NDC is a vote for corruption and suffering, a vote for the NPP is a vote for progress and positive transformation. Let's rise and vote against corruption, retrogression, falling standards of living among other ills and vote massively for a competent team led by Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo and Dr. Mahamud Bawumia to move Ghana forward.
