Veep charges foot soldiers for victory
Agona Swedru(C/R), Aug.26 GNA-Vice President Kwesi
Amissah-Arthur has charged National Democratic
Congress (NDC) foot soldiers to embark on house to
house campaign to ensure "one touch" victory for
President Mahama.
He therefore cautioned the rank and file of the
party to guard against complacency and work
assiduously to ensure this win for the party.
Vice President Amissah-Arthur was speaking at the
inauguration of the NDC's Central Regional
Election Task Force at the Agona Swedru Sports
Stadium in the Agona West District of the Central
Region.
Vice President Amissah-Arthur and his entourage
were welcomed by a tumultuous crowd of NDC
sympathizers who sang and chant party slogans.
Vice President Amissah-Arthur also outdoor some
of the parliamentary candidates standing on the
NDC ticket in the region to the crowd.
Earlier, the Vice President and his team called
on the Ogidigram Okrupi Nana Kobina Asiedu Botwe
II, Chief of Agona Swedru at his palace to pay
homage and inform him of their mission in the
town.
Vice President Amissah-Arthur also urged the rank
and file of the party to go out to the communities
with the "Green Book" to spread the good news in
terms of the unprecedented infrastructural
development by the government to the people.
He said the party foot soldiers must offer
themselves as disciples of President Mahama to
spread the good deeds of the President for the
people to see and renew his mandate to continue
with his developmental agenda.
He also warned NDC supporters against voting
skirt and blouse because President Mahama would
need more Members of Parliament (MPs) to help him
deliver on his second term mandate.
Mr Kofi Adams, National Coordinator for the NDC
Campaign called on all the supporters of the party
to engage in the campaign to ensure a one-time
victory.
He said things that the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
doing against the NDC today is the same thing
their forbearers did against Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
He said when Dr Nkrumah was borrowing funds to
construct the Akosombo Dam, Tema motorway and Tema
port they accused him of incurring a lot of debts
for the country. And they are doing the same
things against President Mahama today.
Mr Kofi Adams stated that the NDC as a government
has a good track record in development would
continue to improve the country for the good of
everybody.
He said President Mahama has already laid a solid
foundation for the nation and what is required now
is for Ghanaians to renew his mandate to continue
with his transformation agenda.
Mr Cassel Ato Forson, Deputy Minister of Finance
and Leader of the Central Regional Election Task
Force gave a litany of the achievements under
President Mahama's government including the
revamping of industries, giving fertilizers and to
farmers and outboard motor to fishermen.
He said the government has already laid a firm
foundation for the economy and that inflation and
interest rate are beginning to decline and that
Ghanaian businesses would be ultimate
beneficiaries of the downward trend.
He stated that everything on the ground points to
a one-time victory for President Mahama in the
December elections and therefore called on the
rank and file to go out and campaign in the
communities to ensure this win.
