Statement: Volta Youth League throws its weight behind the president
The Volta Youth League has observed with keen
interest, the recent developments in the NDC that
sought to question the performance of H.E. John
Evans Atta Mills during his short tenure of office
and his ability to lead the party to victory come
2012.

To the keen observer, the achievements of the
President over the past two years in the field of
health, education, agriculture, roads, energy etc
cannot be over-emphasized.

In the field of education, the President has cut
the sod for the commencement of work on two public
universities in the Volta and Brong-Ahafo Regions,
schools under trees are almost virtually
eliminated, construction of facilities to absorb
students into the SHS system in the form of
dormitories, dining halls, assembly halls and
classroom across the country are there for all to
see and appreciate if they so want to. The shift
system which used to be the bane of public first
cycle institutions in the Accra metropolis is now
a thing of the past.

The provision of health facilities across the
length and breadth of the country in the form of
hospitals, polyclinics, clinics and health
training institutions are all ample testimonies to
the ‘Better Ghana’ agenda.

The road infrastructure in the country is
under-going a massive over-haul as is evidenced by
the construction of road networks in the urban and
rural areas to open up the hinterland for farmers
to have access to marketing centres. The food
situation has been stabilized through various
interventions by the government which is yielding
fruitful results. We cannot begin to talk about
the growth of the economy, the stabilization of
the cedi and its attendant positive effects on the
economy.

Communities which are yet to be connected to the
national grid since independence are gradually but
progressively being hooked into the national grid.
We need stability and continuity to complete this
agenda.

The livelihood Empowerment against Poverty (LEAP)
and other social interventions are being extended
to many more communities across the country

In view of the above and a host of others too
numerous to state, we, the entire membership of
the VOLTA YOUTH LEAGUE wish to re-emphasize our
faith and confidence and call on all delegates in
the upcoming congress and Ghanaians in general to
give the mandate to His Excellency Prof. John
Evans Atta Mills and his NDC government as the
best team to retain the seat and lead the party to
victory in 2012.

We all know that President Mills has already been
marketed over the years. He has been battle-tested
coming from behind in the first round of the 2008
election to beat Nana Akuffo Addo the candidate of
the NPP even with their rigging. We believe that
tactically, it would be imprudent for the ruling
NDC government to endorse a new presidential
candidate the year before the 2012 elections.

GOD BLESS OUR HOMELAND GHANA, ARISE ARISE NDC.
