The opposition New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has appealed to the electorate in the Northern Region to give him 50 percent of their popular vote on December 7.
This, according to Nana Akufo-Addo, will push him to the Flagstaff House as the next President. “You have the power and I will continue to beg you for it to be your obedient servant.
Give me 50 percent of the popular votes from the north and I will create equal opportunities for all. I am tribal blind and all I see is one Ghana.” Nana Akufo-Addo made the plea at the party’s Northern Regional rally at the Tamale Jubilee Park.
An elated Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo promised never to disappoint Ghanaians if they put their trust in him. “If you put your trust in me, I promise you I will never disappoint you, I will never turn my back on you and I am going to do all that is in my power to bring to being the vision and prosperity and the progress that binds us all.”
“If you put your trust in my government, the government that is going to have some of the most brilliant people in the political life of our country, Mahamadu Bawumia, Alan Kyeremanteng and there are so many of them, men and women who are ready to give this country a first class government,” the main opposition leader stressed.
He asked the electorate to decisively vote for him and all NPP Parliamentary candidates at the polls. “If we want change, all of us would have to go out and vote on December.
Don’t let anybody say that we have already won this election. On that 7th December when you get up, take your card and go and cast your vote and when you get to the poll just look for the elephant.”
He reaffirmed his commitment to lead a united Ghana and promised to create equal opportunities for all citizens regardless of their geographical locations.
“Within 18 months, my government will transform Ghana and bring prosperity to every part of the country.
We have the can do spirit and we are moving ahead to build a new Ghana.” Nana Akufo-Addo said the next NPP government under his watch will establish agro industrial businesses to create thousands of jobs for the unemployed youth especially in Northern Ghana.
“We are going to improve the agriculture of the Northern Region and agro industrial businesses will be the predominant businesses in the Northern Region to create thousands of jobs for the young people of the north so that they can stay here in the north and better their lives here; and that is how we are going to implement the one district one factory policy.”
He reiterated the NPP’s campaign promise to restore the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), and all pro poor programmes initiated by the erstwhile Kufour led NPP administration. He added that, the NPP is committed to revive adult education to harmonize the party’s 2012 flagship free SHS agenda.
He slammed President John Dramani Mahama over what he described as his divisive and tribal politics. “The momentum for change is gathering. Our President and his party are panicking and beginning to resort to divisive and tribal politics.
He is saying that he is the champion of the north. We want one united Ghana and we don’t want a situation where tribe is set against tribe and north is set against south; that is the politics of yesterday.
We are moving ahead to a new destiny, a destiny which has a united Ghana,” Nana Addo stated.
The NPP Presidential candidate commended the people of Northern Region for their unflinching support and reminded them of the need to let it reflect on the ballot on December 7.

mr.edward nana akuffo addo please dont beg us to vote for you to come and serve us .why dont you know that ghana is too heavy for an old man like you to carry,it does not make sense to beg some one to vote for you to come and serve if you dont have any interest or a hidden agenda up your sleeve.please dont beg ghanaians because we are not going to vote for you "period"
go to his home town kyebi and abuakwa and fine out whether he was able to even build public toilet for them when he was mp for 12 years and a miniter for eight years as foreign affairs and minister for justice and attorney general.most of his akyem peope themselves won't vote for him as president becauses did not regard them during those periods.he was not even paying them a visit at the abuakwa south.
yes we beg to serve bcos power is not urs,its belongs to the power, so ask for by pleading n hoping that the GOOD people ill believe u and trust in ur ways to manage it properly n not steal for ur friends n family
power belongs to the power, so its prudent n show respect to ask for their support to use it efficiently n effectively n not to think of rigging or taking it by-force as being demonstrated by the NDC. Nana continue.. we support n believe in ur vision..
Tunteya or whatever u see how u NDC people always try to squeeze news, Kuffuor never said they should vote for Nana cos he is from there so get facts bedore u talk, nPP is not into tribal politics like JM who will go there and say they should vote for him cos he is a northner and yet ignore them after he comes to power. @Frank fo and google selfisness and u will know it best describes JM, didnt JM beg ashanti's to give him 1million votes so what is wrong if he did that, if he is broke is he going to use his own money to rule the nation, common sense iws what will help u to think far.......We the wise northners are voting massively for Nana to come to power cos he is better than our so called son who forgot us when he climb to the top. Nana will come and change will also come, u will get more than 50% mpo
Why would someone beg to serve others. Please Nana Addo stop this, our country is on the right path. Mahama took a bold decision to invest heavily in insfrausture which is a solid foundation that every country in world need to grow their economy. At your age if you have anything good for this country you should not beg the citizens to make you president to serve them rather you should encourage the young ones. What I see is clear selfishness to ascend the presidency at all cost. Your party is broke and voting you and your party will be a disaster for our country because you have to finish paying your debts before thinking about the citizen. Please stop risking your life for we do not need you to serve us.
NANA, JUST FORGET US. WE ARE VOTING FOR OUR SON. KUFFOUR WENT TO EASTERN REGION TO TELL THEM TO VOTE FOR THEIR SON SO WE ARE DOING THE SAME. JUST CAMPAIGN PEACEFULLY N LEAVE. WE R VOTING FOR OUR SON. JM TOASO
