The 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, says President Mahama is very much aware of the fact that he has lost the 2016 presidential election because of his abysmal record in office and the economic hardships and suffering he has imposed on the Ghanaian.
According to Nana Akufo-Addo, the President’s determination to hang onto power at all cost is not borne out of his desire to improve on the well-being of Ghanaians, rather, because of the perquisites and benefits of office for himself, his family and close associates.
The NPP flagbearer noted President Mahama’s desperation, with 21 days to the holding of the December 7 election, will reach new heights through the announcement of plethora of phantom promises to the Ghanaian electorate.
One such desperate move on the part of the President, Nana Akufo-Addo recounted, is the decision to restore the allowances of nursing training students, albeit it partially.
The NPP flagbearer noted that despite President Mahama’s opposition to the restoration of the allowances all these years, “he has decided to pay the allowances, with a few days to the elections. This smacks of desperation, with no iota of sincerity. It is an election year gimmick.”
On the contrary, the NPP flagbearer noted he is seeking the mandate of the Ghanaian people “so I can use the little wisdom and knowledge God has given me to help create jobs, wealth, progress and prosperity for Ghanaians. I’m not seeking the high office of the land so I can steal from the people or line my pockets with the monies of Ghanaians. That is not why I am running for President.”
The NPP flagbearer made this known on Tuesday, November 15, 2016, at Adukrom, in the Okere constituency, when he began a 4-day tour of the Eastern Region.
Nana Akufo-Addo noted that “the wind of change that is blowing across all parts of the country is in favour of the NPP. Because of this, and the perks associated with the high office of the land, President Mahama and his functionaries are going round the country peddling a lot of lies about me and the NPP.”
These lies, according to the NPP flagbearer, will be in the form of “the NPP not liking a particular tribe or religious grouping, or that we are going to drive a particular ethnic group away from Ghana. These are all lies. Don’t pay heed to it.”
He stressed that, “Ghanaians are looking for a competent government to come into office to solve the many problems they are being confronted with. Ghanaians want a government that will do a job for them, and not that will rule with propaganda. We don’t manage a country with propaganda, lies and deceit.”
Ghana, a country which was the envy of the entire continent, under the 8-year leadership of President Kufuor, is now in tatters, according to Nana Akufo-Addo.
He, therefore, appealed to residents of Adukrom to “help me and help push the NPP into jubilee house, so we can create jobs for all Ghanaians, as well as bring progress and prosperity to the country. Ghanaians are suffering too much. Ghana is not a poor country. We are going to develop this country and rapidly ensure prosperity for all Ghanaians.”
Nana Akufo-Addo assured residents of Adukrom that “we in the NPP have the men and women who can give this country a 1st class government, and help create jobs, and bring progress and prosperity to all.”
Having announced the rapid industiralisation of the country’s economy, 1-District-1-Factory’ policy, the diversification of Ghana’s agriculture, the true implementation of the Free SHS policy, the revival of the collapsed NHIS, and the establishment of a Zongo Development Fund, amongst others, Nana Akufo-Addo has assured Ghanaians that these policies will be implemented to the letter when he is given the mandate to serve Ghana in the December 7 election.
He reiterated that “we in the NPP will not make promises we cannot keep. When we said we were going to implement the NHIS, the late President Mills and the NDC said it could not be done. However, President Kufuor did it. Likewise, I am telling Ghanaians that Free SHS policy, amongst others, will be truly implemented to the benefit of all.”
“I am not one to make promises I know I cannot keep, all in the name of getting votes. I have too much love and respect for Ghanaians to make promises which I cannot fulfill. I will never do that,” he assured.
Nana Akufo-Addo, on day-1 of his campaign tour of the Eastern Region, also visited the Ayensuano (Amanase, Asuboi and Teacher Mante), Lower Manya Krobo (Odumase Krobo, Somanya, Kpong) and Asuogyaman (Atimpoku) constituencies.

Without EC NDC can NEVER will and election!!!
Folks, you should by now know that anytime EC rigs elections for NDC, NPP wins in ONLY Eastern and Ashanti Regions. When there is no rigging, NPP wins 5 regions in total.
Even the blind can see, the deaf can hear (using a metaphor) the good works being done by JDM. Akufo Addo and JDM who looks desperate and hungrier for power? Akufo Addo this is your last chance for any political office and that explain all the lairs and empty promises you are throwing around. Majority of Ghanaians see and know the good work being done by JDM and will show their appreciation on December 7th. Go home and enjoy your grand children
Who told NDC they are the majority? They call themselves "silent majority" because the are silent th I e ve s! a fia fito! Ak ron fo! E wi! Vole urs!. But trust God, they are loosing big time. Because the battle is still the LORD'S
So you see ooo. Through out all these years they NEVER paid the nursing students allowances. With just 20 days to elections they now want to pay them. DESPERATE MAHAMA will go to many lows to try and hang on to power. The death of Atta Mills pushed people to vote for Mahama out of sympathy and not because they saw anything competent about him. It was simply sympathy vote.
Stop talking : All silent supporter do not participate in your polling survey but they vote very massively during the election day, And this is the danger with NPP Nana Addo.Those that support NDC do not talk too much, they are mostly silent, most of them are very tribalistic, ***barred word***, damn corrupted in that they are bought easily just with 10gh and T-shirts, Poor, not educated, no big big english. This is the danger with NPP. They have to really intensify door to door campaign with goodies and clear explanations and no,no big English.The campaign should be in ewe, dangoba, housa and other Ghanaian languages and not only twui and english If possible bribe the electorates. NDC are best with these things, I can assure that NDC have started this very long time , Presently they are promising the youth that any district that they win there they will be paid 30000ghc . Also the campaign on radioI Have never heard NPP complaining about this naked buying of votes. They (we) keep on having funfairs campaign bulshxxt. There should have innovative strategies if possible joining with other parties in seeking power.
