According to her, although victory of the party in the December election had been assured, supporters of the party should not be complacent, but continue to work hard. She described her husband�s appointment as a blessing for the area, assuring the chiefs that their interests would be promoted. �God has blessed you and the NDC,� she said, saying the God would ensure the victory of the NDC so the Vice President can execute the purpose of his divine appointment. �Be vigilant, tolerant, truthful and God-fearing,� she admonished the people of the area.
