The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, aka Wontumi, has stated that it is possible for every community in the country to own one factory.
He said those who oppose Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s promise of ‘one district, one factory’ are visionless people who don’t deserve to be in political office.
“Nana Akufo-Addo’s one district, one factory promise is even an understatement because Ghana as it stands now has the capabilities to construct one factory in every community to help better the lives of the people.
“I am surprised that some political opponents of the NPP who don’t have any idea with regards to how to implement better policies and programmes to initiate new things to develop society are attacking this great vision,” he said.
Speaking on Otec FM, Wontumi stated that constructing a factory is not a “big deal”, maintaining that the NPP would implement that policy with ease when they assume political office.
Chairman Wontumi said each community in the country can produce a unique product for the local and international market when the NPP’s vision becomes a reality.
6000 Workers
He disclosed that he (Wontumi) used to employ 6,000 workers in his various businesses, including the manufacturing of vehicles, until the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government collapsed his businesses.
Wontumi pointed out that he is not rooting for Nana Akufo-Addo for the presidency because “I my love him as a person”, but because he (Wontumi) has realised that Nana Akufo-Addo has the vision and knowledge to transform the country.
He, therefore, assured that he would increase his campaign for the NPP until President Mahama and his non-performing NDC and corruption-infested administration has been kicked out of office in December.
Ashanti Seats
The Ashanti regional chairman of the NPP is of the strong conviction that the NPP would win all the 47 parliamentary seats in the region during the upcoming elections, charging his party faithful to campaign vigorously.
