The National Women�s Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Otiko Afisah Djaba, who is embarking on a listening tour, has visited the Ayawaso East constituency.
She met with 119 polling station women organizers in the constituency.
The visit was to give Otiko the opportunity to have first hand information on the concerns of the women organizers.
Otiko, together with the women�s organizer for the constituency, and the aspiring Member of Parliament (MP) for Ayawaso East, Alhaji Yusif Ahmed, also known as Fofana, encouraged the women to promote the good name of the party.
Addressing the women, Otiko stated that the women organizers were doing well in projecting the good name of the party in the constituency, but they could do more to ensure the NPP wins in the Ayawaso East constituency come 2012.
She also noted that the women should protect the people they had convinced to join the party. �Embark on house to house campaign and ensure that our members vote for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in the general elections,� she said.
Otiko stated, �We don�t want skirt and blouse voting, as you vote for Nana, vote for his MPs so we can have a strong front when we win the 2012 elections.�
The women also called on the national women�s organizer to visit the constituency more frequently to see the progress they were making in their various stations.
They also used the opportunity to petition Nana Addo to expand the Mamobi Polyclinic when he wins the 2012 election in order to ease congestion in times of outbreaks of diseases.
Alhaji Yusif Ahmed, the aspiring MP of the constituency, also gave the people reasons why he should be voted for come 2012. He stated that he was a product of the constituency, as because he was born and educated in the community.
According to him, he had been a polling station executive and officer for a long time, adding that he had served the Ayawaso East constituency.
Fofana observed that a wind of victory was blowing and that the NPP was on its way to the Jubilee house, hence the need to double their efforts to ensure it became a reality. �Let us start what we call a whispering tour, whisper the good news of the NPP to your colleagues at the saloon, in the cars and at the market places,� Fofana said.
