I remain unshaken by NDC lies against me – Akufo-Addo
The 2016 presidential candidate of the New
Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo, says he is unfazed by the lies,
fabrications and propaganda which are being
churned out on a daily basis against his person by
operatives and functionaries of the ruling
National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“Knowing full well they have lost the election,
they are now resorting to lies, propaganda,
fabrications and vicious attacks against my
person,” noted Nana Akufo-Addo.nana-addo-2

However, he stressed that “I remain unshaken in
the face of all these attacks. I have not stolen
anyone’s money, neither have I killed anyone. I
am not bothered by what they are saying about me,
because they are all lies and acts of desperation.
Do not be discouraged, we are firmly on course for
victory.”

Nana Akufo-Addo was addressing a mammoth rally at
Nkawkaw, the venue for the NPP’s Eastern
Regional Rally, on Wednesday, November 30, 2016,
when he made these known.

In addition to the vile campaign that has been
waged against his person, Nana Akufo-Addo revealed
that the NDC propaganda machinery has been put in
overdrive, with the aim of “setting tribe
against tribe, and telling Ghanaians that the NPP
hates Northerners, even though my running mate is
from the North.”

“They will say the NPP will drive Muslims,
Northerners and residents in Zongo communities
away from Ghana. All these are not true. They are
nothing but pure lies.”

Nana Akufo-Addo, thus, urged Ghanaians not to pay
heed to the politics of division and tribalism,
which have become the NDC’s stock in trade,
adding that “we are all one people in Ghana. Let
us use our energies to push Ghana forward and stop
the divisive talk and reactionary
politics.”nana-addo-3

He also appealed to the electorate to vote into
office a competent government whose preoccupation
will be to improve on the standards of living of
the Ghanaians, explaining that President Mahama,
over the last eight years, has amply demonstrated
that he “cannot do the job, the reason why we
are all suffering in Ghana.”

In spite of President Mahama’s abysmal
performance in office, Nana Akufo-Addo noted that
the real reason for the President’s
determination to stay in office is “because of
the perquisites and benefits of office for
himself, his family and close associates.”

For that reason, the NPP flag bearer indicated
that “President Mahama will say and do any and
everything to hang onto power.”

Nana Akufo-Addo wondered why, in the midst of
President Mahama’s claims of having undertaken
“unprecedented infrastructural development”,
he continues to wage a campaign of character
assassination and the distribution of freebies to
Ghanaian voters, all in his bid for re-election.

“If truly, you claim to have undertaken
unprecedented infrastructural development in the
country, which is pleasing to Ghanaians, why is
the President, together with his wife, going
around distributing goodies to the electorate for
votes? Why are they distributing monies, sewing
machines and peddling all sorts of untruths in a
bid to gain re-election?” he asked.nana-addo-4

He continued, “There’s a popular adage in Twi,
which says ‘a good thing sells itself’. If
Ghanaians are pleased with his work, as he wants
us to believe, why is he (Mahama) not resting
easy? Why is he going around the country trying to
buy everyone off?”

Nana Akufo-Addo assured Ghanaians that “I’m
not the type of politician who would come before
you and say I would bring a one-time National
Health Insurance Premium, and once in office, I
turn my back on fulfilling that pledge. That’s
not the type of job I want to do.

“I would not promise 200 community day schools
in 4 years, only end up constructing 9, and with a
few days to elections, rush to complete and
commission others for electoral purposes. That is
not the kind of work I am coming to do. I am
coming to develop our country and return us onto
the path of progress and prosperity.”
