President John Evans Atta Mills has once again touted his administration's �unprecedented achievements� saying despite the "difficulties" faced when he assumed office, �there are so many things we can point at [as achievements]� adding that "action speaks louder than words." Addressing activists and sympathizers of the party at the first ever political �Mammoth Rally� held at Mantse Agboena, President Mills assured Ghanaians that "the next four years is going to be better" when his mandate is renewed in this year's polls because "we have been able to remove the impediments". Flanked by Greater Accra Regional Chariman of the NDC, Joseph Ade Coker, General Secretary Johnson Asiedu-Nketia, Chief of Staff Henry Newman, Information Minister Fritz Baffour, Minister for Environment, Madam Sherry Ayittey, and other party stalwarts, President Mills admitted the road had not been smooth-sailing, but God being so kind, his administration has achieved remarkable success. To him, it is only those who have nothing to show, who will resort to the telling of lies and indulging in vitriolic attacks and admonished his appointees not to engage in the politics of insults. �We had a lot of difficulties but we have come this far. Many of you have felt the force of the sacrifices we have made. The next four years is going to be better because we have been able to remove the impediments with God being our helper. There is so many things that we can point to. My brother and sisters, I want to make one appeal; action speaks louder than words. Those who have nothing to show will only resort to two things: insults and lies. We have something to show let us not waste our time on insults and lies. Let the people of Ghana see what we have done. Give praise where it is due but we must not be complacent�� President Mills said. Making reference to the thousands of supporters that had gathered at the rally grounds, President Mills disagreed with those who claim there is no unity in the party. To him, the mammoth crowd was clearly an indication that the NDC was growing from strength to strength. �People think NDC is in disarray; they should come and see�My brothers and sisters, in any group there will be differences but the important thing is how we resolve our differences. When we deal with one another we must show good faith. Let us be positive and let us be hopeful not paying attention to those who are disappointed because they will always remain disappointed�,� President said.
