Nana Akufo-Addo has accused his main contender in the 2016 elections
President John Mahama of doling out “goodies” to buy votes, going into
the November polls.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer said the ruling National
Democratic Congress presidential candidate is using the ‘Accounting to
the People Tour’ as a smokescreen to launch election-year projects.
Speaking at a rally to wrap-up his campaign in the Brong Ahafo region,
the former attorney general said Mahama is abusing incumbency ahead of
the 2016 elections.
With a few months to the holding of the elections, Nana Akufo-Addo noted
that it is only a government that has failed the people which will
resort to doling out goodies in their bid to buy voters.
An Akufo-Addo government, the NPP flagbearer added, will grow the
Ghanaian economy, create jobs for the masses, which will ensure that the
citizenry can adequately cater for themselves.
“We are going to improve the livelihoods of Ghanaians so that everyone
can have money in their pockets. We will make sure we construct a
country where citizens are not dependent on dole-outs during election
years.
“If you believe you have governed this country well, why are you moving
around the country distributing cloths for Ghanaians, and commencing
election-year projects? We want a country where citizens can buy their
own cloths, and where our infrastructure is developed not as
election-year gimmicks, but as part of a co-ordinated plan for
development,” Nana Addo said.
Nana Akufo-Addo urged the people of Yefri to “look up to the NPP this
year, and help us get into the Jubilee House so that we can put in place
good policies to move Ghana forward.”
