The wife of the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, during a visit to the Western Region, has given the assurance that Ghana can make it under the NPP, which has a track record of competent governance.

Mrs Akufo Addo met some traditional leaders, NPP women’s wings, and members of the public on her visit.

In a message of hope and solidarity with the people, she assured them: “there is light at the end of the tunnel, with a Nana Addo-led NPP government, which has shown Ghanaians that they have the competence and the will to make Ghana a nation we will all be proud of.”

The chief of Dixcove, Nana Agyeman XIV, commended Nana Addo on his display of professional and political maturity, following the outcome of the 2012 Presidential Election Petition trial.

Mrs Akufo Adoo also met Odompongemaa Dakyi of Efuman at the Dixcove Castle, Nana Odompem Hemaa, Nana Edziako IV of Agona Nkwanta and other chiefs, where discussions centred on the current hardships in the country and what needed to be done.

At Apowa and Agona lorry parks, people defied the rains to listen to the message of change that Nana Addo's wife had for them.

She urged the people to give Nana Addo the mandate to become the President, to enable him implement the one factory per district policy, which she described as highly feasible with dedicated leadership. She promised to work diligently to support women and children, including widows, who are facing huge difficulties as single mothers.

At the fishing community in Shama, the people shared their frustrations as accessibility and cost of pre-mix fuel and outboard motor coupled with per trawling are killing their businesses and collapsing their only source of livelihood.

Mrs Akufo Addo was accompanied by the Deputy National Women Organiser, Hajia Saudi, and the women’s wing of the New Patriotic Party for the Region, led by the Regional Women’s organizer, Madam Golly .
