Mrs. Akufo-Addo with the NPP Parliamentary Candidate for Sege, Eunice Lasi
First Lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, has called on residents of Ada and Sege to vote massively for the New Patriotic Party ( NPP).
According to the First Lady, voting for the NPP in both the presidential and parliamentary elections will bring unprecedented development in the areas.
She said although the constituencies have over the years been voting religiously for another political party, especially in its parliamentary elections there was nothing to show for it.
She said the phenomenon was indicative that the Party they vote for is complacent with their people’s welfare.

Mrs. Akufo-Addo made the remarks when she visited the Ada and Sege Constituencies, as part of her campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region.
At Ada, the First Lady attended a durbar of chiefs and party faithfuls at Torgbloku where she urged the residents to vote for the NPP which has a track record of implementing policies which address the needs of Ghanaians.
She said the NPP has an enviable track record of successfully implementing social intervention policies which address the core concerns of Ghanaians.
She explained that good health and education are important building blocks for human development adding that as such the NPP during their tenure implemented the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) under President Kufuor and the Free SHS under President Akufo-Addo.
“This is what should influence your decision on whom to vote for on December 7,” she said.
Mrs. Akufo-Addo introduced the NPP parliamentary candidate for Ada, Sarah Pobee who is also the DCE for Ada East to the Chiefs and people, and appealed for their support in votes so she represents them in the next parliament.
Mrs. Akufo-Addo commissioned the fully furnished, equipped and staffed Torgbloku CHPS Compound and donated items including beds, isolation gowns, latex surgical gloves, blankets, wheel chairs and some detergents to the Ada East District Hospital.
At Sege, Mrs. Akufo-Addo met fishmongers at the Goi School Park to interact with them and ascertain how government can facilitate the growth of their businesses.
She also inspected on-going works on the Phase 2 of the Sege market project and urged them to vote for President Akufo-Addo and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Sege, Eunice Lasi to ensure the completion of all on-going projects as well as the execution of new ones.
She said President Akufo-Addo is on the path of changing the country and with an NPP representative in parliament, the people of Sege will benefit immensely from this transformation.
“We have completed constructing an ambulance bay, the Astech school block, phase 1 of the Sege Market and already working on phase 2 which will come with a nursery for your children”, Mrs. Akufo-Addo said.
She emphasized that though the Akufo-Addo led NPP, the government will not be discriminatory in extending development projects to all constituencies in the country.
The NPP Parliamentary candidate for Sege, Eunice Lasi said the Free SHS policy has brought great relief to the people of Sege and has also caused a significant increase in enrolment of girls in school.
She thus pledged to work for the people should they give her their votes in the December polls.
The First Lady was on the tour with the CEO of Coastal Development Authority, Mr. Jerry Shaibu Ahmed, Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the NPP, Mr. Divine Otoo Agorhom and other government and party officials.
