Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured Ghanaians of better times ahead for the nation when he and the New Patriotic Party are voted into office in the 2016 presidential election. According to Nana Akufo-Addo, "we need people who will work for Ghana to succeed. It is only the NPP who can bring prosperity, employment for the youth and progress for all. We have the men and women who can give this nation good and effective government." He made this known when he addressed delegates of the NPP in the Eastern Region, upon resumption of his campaign to win the nomination of the party ahead of the 2016 elections. The Better Ghana mantra agenda of the ruling NDC, according to Nana Addo, has collapsed as the only thing Ghanaians are witnessing is bad governance which has brought in its wake hardships and poverty. "Businesses are collapsing, our educational system is in disarray. When someone is sick, it becomes a heart-wrenching issue, because our healthcare system is in a mess. This is not the Ghana we all know," he stated. A government, under his leadership, Nana Addo explained will ensure the rapid industrialisation of the Ghanaian economy and move this nation from a producer and exporter of raw materials, to an economy that will add value to the country's raw materials. This, he said, is the sure way of creating the hundreds of thousands of jobs needed for the growing masses of unemployed youth. "I did not get into politics to enrich myself. That's not why I am in politics. That is not the reason I am seeking office. I am seeking office to serve the people of Ghana," he added.
