Nana Akufo-Addo sandwiched by Alidu Seidu and Wontumi, Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman
THE NEW Patriotic Party (NPP) on Wednesday proved that its claim of winning the Asawase seat in Kumasi is not a fluke. The largest opposition political party drew one of the largest crowds at the Asawase Constituency in recent times.
The occasion was when Nana Akufo-Addo, the NPP presidential candidate, was visiting the place as part of his Ashanti Regional campaign tour.
News of the huge crowd would certainly cause a nightmare for Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for the area.
The charged crowd followed Nana Akufo-Addo through the principal streets of Aboabo, singing victory songs; and the number even increased at the Aboabo school, venue of a mammoth rally.
NPP parliamentary candidate for Asawase, Alidu Seidu, recently drew a similar crowd during a health walk in the area.
The elated-looking party loyalists were heard singing, ‘Time Aso’, which literally means ‘It’s Nana’s time to become president,’ as well as time out for President John Mahama.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who looked cheerful, stood in an open-top vehicle as he responded to cheers from the people.
Not Bragging
He indicated that he was not bragging when he promised that a government under him would transform the country and make it better for the masses to live meaningful lives.
He has consequently charged the electorate to vote for him to become president, stressing that his government would bring the needed renaissance into the ailing economy.
“I challenge you to vote for me as your next president and I will implement pragmatic polices to improve your living conditions at a lightning rate,” the NPP leader told a charged crowd of party supporters at the rally.
He said the only way for the country to experience massive transformation is for the electorate to vote President Mahama and his incompetent NDC government out of office.
“I urge you to vote President Mahama and his team out of office and replace them with Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP in order for you to experience the development that you are craving for,” he appealed.
Nana Akufo-Addo stated that his government would implement policies that would lead to the creation of jobs for the unemployed.
Zongo Development Fund
He reiterated his earlier promise that an NPP government would introduce the Zongo Development Fund to help develop the deprived Zongo communities of the country.
Nana said the massive crowd that he had seen at Asawase had given him hope that certainly, the NPP would snatch the seat and also win the presidential election.
He urged the electorate to vote massively for Alidu Seidu, Asawase NPP parliamentary candidate.
