Despite NPP moneycracy

WE WILL TRIUMPH –Says Mills

From Samuel Agbewode, Dzodze

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor John Evans Atta Mills has told NDC supporters at Dzodze in the Volta region that though the NPP is using money to entice voters they would still lose the 2008 elections to the NDC. “NDC will surely win the elections to lead the country again,” he said.

According to the NDC presidential candidate the various campaign messages being churned out by the NPP presidential candidates was a clear manifestation that the ruling party has disappointed Ghanaians and must therefore be voted out of power. He described the NPP government as being arrogant which did not care for the well being of the citizens noting that it was during the NPP regime that the country experienced the high level of cocaine business, armed robbery and killings in the country.

Prof. Mills assured Ghanaians that an NDC led administration under his leadership would be the era that the people would enjoy total economic freedom in a stable society, where the dignity of the people would be protected and respected.

He blamed the NPP government for the high rate of corrupt practices in the society noting that the current display of worth by the NPP aspirants did not fit into the Ghanaian cultural and moral values.

The NDC presidential candidate who was at Dzodze as part of his tour of the southern part of the Volta region said, after the NPP won the elections and assumed the highest position in the country, it started acting as if it has tasted gold at the castle.

He (Mills) was therefore not surprised when a dozen of ministers that were serving in President Kufuor’s government started declaring their intentions to become president of Ghana. He accused the NPP presidential hopefuls of introducing corrupt practices into the society such as attempts to “buy” the conscience of the people to vote for them.

For his part, the chairman of the occasion and MP for Ave-Avenor, Mr. Doe Adjaho was of the conviction that top members of the NPP owned most of the fuel stations in the country, hence the government’s frequent increases of the price of petroleum products. Mr. Adjaho announced that the minority in parliament would soon revolt against the taxation on mobile talk time, which he noted was irrelevant, and a means to worsen the already existing economic problems of the ordinary Ghanaian.
