RESIDENTS OF Kumasi, the Ashanti regional capital, are planning a massive welcome for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate.
Edmund Kyei, a top member of the Ashanti Regional Communications Team, said people have been calling the party’s offices in the region to verify details of Nana Addo’s visit.
According to him, most of the people made their intentions of according Nana Akufo-Addo a rousing welcome to the region, which is the NPPs stronghold.
Nana Akufo-Addo is set to commence a five-day tour of the Ashanti Region, where he is expected to visit the nook and cranny of the region to woo more voters for the party.
The NPP leader, who is Ghana’s former Foreign Affairs Minister under the NPP regime, would also use the trip to explain his plans and programmes to transform the country to the masses.
Mr. Kyei said the people of Ashanti Region, especially NPP members and sympathisers, are in expectant mood as Nana Akufo-Addo, who some touted as Ghana’s savior, is about to visit the area.
He stated that a crowd that had never been seen in the Ashanti Region would emerge in the streets of Kumasi to accord the NPP flagbearer a rousing welcome.
According to Mr. Kyei, who is also the NPP Communication Director for Asokwa, said the NPP leadership have put in place the necessary mechanisms to make Nana Addo’s visit memorable.
He stated that Ghana is currently in distress times under the non-performing NDC administration, urging the populace to vote massively for Nana Akufo-Addo to ensure NPP’s victory in 2016.
Mr. Kyei noted that the adverse poverty and hardship, which are the order of the day in the country now, would be a thing of the past when Nana Akufo-Addo becomes president.
