NDUOM URGES VOLA VOTERS TO VOTE FOR CPP (PAGE 15)

Story: Emmanuel Modey, Hohoe

THE Presidential Candidate of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, has asked the people of the Volta Region to look for a new customer in their voting system.
He said “a particular party had described the Volta Region as its World Bank in the past, a commitment which to date has little evidence of fulfilment”.
Dr Nduom asked “how much interest has the party put into the bank all these years?”
He was at Ve-Deme in the Hohoe District as part of his two-day campaign tour of the Volta Region. Dr Nduom was also in Hohoe South, Akan and Buem constituencies as part of his community-based campaign to announce the return of a strong, independent and competitive CPP to Ghanaian politics. He also attended the funeral of Togbe Dagadu.
Dr Nduom commended the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government for its selfless commitment to renovating the Flagstaff house.
According to him, the CPP is the rightful owner of the house and they will live in it after the general elections in December.
“The construction of the Flagstaff House signifies a victory for the CPP, for the party was the first occupant of the house”, he declared.
He, therefore, assured the people that the CPP was the original CPP and was campaigning on the theme “look inside your pocket and vote.”
“Look inside your pockets and if your pockets are light, then the CPP is for you,” he said.
“In the past, the CPP created jobs for you and I promise that when you vote for me, I will make jobs available for the youth”, he said.
He gave the assurance that a CPP government would demonstrate a lot of commitment to rural dwellers, irrespective of who they voted for.
He said that the CPP would create jobs for the youth to ensure that there was money in their pockets.
Answering a question of his association with the NPP, Nduom said the CPP had learnt its lesson and come back to clean its house.
“Now we do not want to hear anything about the National Democratic Congress (NDC) or the New Patriotic Party (NPP),” he said.
Welcoming the entourage, the Paramount Chief of Ve Traditional Area, Togbe Delume VII, asked for tolerance and patience in the political campaign, adding that the youth who constitute the majority of the electorate, do not know about Dr Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP.
