The Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Akufo Addo has stated that he does not want to become president to rob the country of its resources.
He had consequently called on all to vote massively for NPP in the upcoming election to enable him improve on the living standards of Ghanaians.
Nana Addo said this during a mammoth Central regional rally at Dunkwa-On-Offin in the Upper Denkyira East.
Thousands of supporters of the party including the national and regional executives, all the 23 Parliamentary Candidates and their chairmen as well as former ministers of state among others attended the rally.
Nana Addo urged Ghanaians not to listen to insinuations that the NPP cannot do anything about the harsh economic climate in the country when voted into power.
“We will work according to what is in our manifesto and not utter false promises to get your votes,” he said.
He underscored the need for the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) to refrain from any form of manipulation, cheating and tricks during the election, to ensure peaceful election.
He assured Ghanaians that he would revive all the collapsed policies initiated by the former President John Agyekum Kufour such as the School Feeding Programme, Capitation Grant, National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) Metro Mass Transit, and Free Mass Cocoa Spraying.
He promised to restore the teachers and nurses training allowance which had been scrapped by the NDC government who claimed to be transforming Ghana.
Nana Addo expressed concern over the high rate of unemployment in the country and promised to find a solution to it when given the mandate as the next president of Ghana.
He stressed that education is the bedrock of every nation’s development, hence the introduction of Free Senior High School Policy while adult education will also be brought back to enable most illiterate adults have access to education.
The former Minister of Trade, Mr Alan Kyerematen asserted that the introduction of ‘one district one factory’ would help reduce the unemployment situation in the country.
The regional chairman, Robert Kutin in his address said the rally had sent a signal to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government that Ghanaians are ready for a change.
He said the party is poised to capture 16 out of the 23 seats in the region in the upcoming election and therefore urged all to embark on house to house as well as door to door campaign to enable them win the election massively.
