Hon Owuraku Amofa, the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for the Abuakwa South constituency in the Eastern Region has stated that "no Ghanaian should think of voting for my uncle (Nana Akufo Addo). He will be the worst President for Ghana."
Hon Owuraku Amofa made the statement at a rally in Akyem Adukrom on Sunday when Vice President Kwesi- Amissah –Arthur joined him in the constituency to campaign in the area. According to him, the NDC is for jobs, opportunities, developments, stability.
Hon Owuraku Amofa said failure of the three-time opposition flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo to transform his constituency during his tenure as a member of parliament, is indicative that he cannot run Ghana.
The former deputy communication minister under the Rawlings regime revealed that it was during his time as MP for Abuakwa South that various developmental projects transformed the Kyebi Township.
According to him, he ensured electricity was extended to Kyebi, lobbied for the Kyebi Government hospital and the construction of roads from Suhum to Kyebi.
Aside this, he noted that he made sure a senior high school was provided for the area.
On the other hand, he added that when Nana Akufo Addo succeeded him, he transformed the Kyebi Township negatively.
“The kind of transformation he brought we are all aware and it is nothing to write home about. Instead of him maintaining what his relative had done, he destroyed them”, Owuraku Amofa said.
“He couldn't manage his own hometown, if he can't manage two thousand people how much more 27 million people?” he asked.
He continued that “ever since Nana became the leader of the NPP, there has never been peace in their camp. Suspension here and there. Is Nana telling us that he can't manage Kyebi and NPP? Come on, then there's no way he can manage this whole nation.”
He entreated the people of the region to make sure that necessary votes are gotten for the NDC. “The NPP destroyed the infrastructure that will put moneys into our pockets and it is the president's duty to restore them in order to put moneys into people's pocket in his next term of office”, he said.
Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur on his part encouraged Ghanaians to vote for President John Dramani Mahama, to continue with the good work he is doing for the country.
He described as unprecedented the level of development realized less than four years of the Mahama government. He said a vote for President Mahama on December 7, is a vote for progress.
He therefore asked Ghanaians to have confidence in the NDC led by President Mahama.
The Vice President said President Mahama will continue to share the national cake such that deprived communities will also be uplifted.
