Reject NPP and retain me – Mahama tells Ghanaians
President John Mahama has asked electorates in the
Western Region to reject the New Patriotic Party,
(NPP) in the upcoming polls.

This he said is because the NPP contributed to
the overthrow of one of their own, Dr. Kwame
Nkrumah.

He argues that the party that gave birth to the
NPP, the United Party (UP) tradition, accused, Dr.
Nkrumah of embarking on what he calls ostentatious
projects and also embezzled state funds, leading
to his overthrow.

Speaking at the inauguration of a clinic at
Kokompeh in Takoradi as part of his campaign tour
of the Western Region, the President urged the
electorates to given him another term to continue
the good works started by the NDC.

“Dr. Nkrumah was a man of vision he always
thought about the future of the country. When he
built the Akosombo dam, the UP tradition said it
was just a flamboyant project but today the dam is
still providing major parts of the country with
electricity. The same people who ousted Nkrumah
because they said he was embezzling state funds
and undertaking unnecessary projects have
metamorphosed to become the NPP. In Cape Coast,
our founder, Jerry John Rawlings advised us to
beware of them because they’ve been in politics
for a long time.”

“They only change their names but do not change
their character. It is these same people who say
development is not edible. They say the roads,
hospitals are not edible and that my government is
only incurring huge debts and embezzling state
funds claiming we have undertaken projects. They
also say Ghanaians rather need money in their
pockets, they sung this same song during
Nkrumah’s time, today, they are at it again.”

The President explained that though “this clinic
we have built for you is not edible I can assure
you, it will save many lives here.”

President John Mahama who is seeking another term
in office begun a four day campaign tour of the
Western Region on Tuesday.

This follows the launch of the party’s campaign
in Cape Coast last Sunday.
