Flagbearer for the People’s National Convention (PNC), Dr. Edward Nasigri Mahama says Ghanaians condition of living keeps worsening because they have always voted for people who are unable to manage the affairs of the country.
Blaming voters for voting hardship for themselves in every election year, the medical doctor entreated Ghanaians to give him the mandate come November 7 to salvage them from their plight.
Dr. Mahama made this remarks in Bolgatanga when he rounded up his “thank you tour” in the Upper East Region. The PNC flagbearer who commenced his three day tour in the region, visited some selected religious leaders and declared that God has ordained him to be the next president after his 20 years of failed political ambition.
Speaking on job creation, he pledged to make Ghana a world leading producer of cocoa if he is voted president of Ghana and in turn provide jobs to a lot of Ghanaians.
The Upper East Region was proud of the Northern Star Tomato factory at Pwalugu, the rice factory at Zuarungu and the meat factory at Dulugu. However all these factories have been closed down for years. The PNC presidential candidate who was worried that the factories which could have provided jobs for the teeming unemployed youth in the region are left to rot and pledged to revamp them if he is voted the next president of Ghana.
“So I am saying to the people of Upper East Region and Ghana as a whole that vote for me so that I will bring you tractors, I will bring you weedicides and fertilizers to farm and feed this factories because majority of Ghanaian are farmers,” he stated.
Chairman of the party, Bernard Mornah during an address to chief and elders of Sherigu a suburb of Bolgatanga stated that the PNC has a bright future hence the election of young people to manage its affairs. He has therefore entreated voters to vote for the PNC during this year’s general elections.
“Having these young executives guided by the wisdom of our father means that the PNC is ready to govern Ghana. The youth constitutes about 60% and above of our population and unfortunately most of our young people do not have work to do. So if more than 60% of our population does not have work to do it means our population is in danger,” he bemoaned.
The chief of Zaare, Naba Paul Agoo attributed the challenges the country is bedeviled to the political wrangling from some of the opposition parties.
“It is you the opposition parties and it is always from your own camps. You keep on wrangling among yourselves; we’ve seen some of you aligning yourselves to the bigger parties. We sit here we hear, we see you talk on TV and radio. There is no day that I don’t listen to Citi, Joy and all the stations that I can find good news about Ghana,” he said.
The religious leaders gave the PNC presidential hopeful their blessings and wished him well in the upcoming polls.
