The 2016
Campaign Strategist for New Patriotic Party (NPP),hon.Daniel Kwaku Botwe has
predicted that his party led by Nana Akufo Addo as Flgabearer will win the
forthcoming general elections slated for 7th December, 2016.
According to
him, like in the run up to the 2000 general elections, Ghanaians across the country
are yearning for a change of NDC government to enable NPP come back with their
ideas of initiating programme and policies to save Ghanaians from the current
economic hardship under the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC)
government led by President John Mahama.
Hon.Dan Botwe as
he is popularly called in the political cycles made the prediction at Hello fm,
a local based radio station in Kumasi.
The NPP Member
of Parliament for Okere constituency in the Eastern region who doubles as
former General Secretary of NPP and a former Minister of Information under
ex-President John Agyekum Kufour's
administration, said the evidence of NPP capable of coming out with fresh and
innovative ideas to create jobs and good environment for economic wellbeing of
the people are there for Ghanaians to compare with NDC, and decide on which
candidate and political party when given the nod in 2016 general elections
would be able to implement policies and programmes that, can improve their
lives.
“NPP is proud to
say that, we have ideas for the development of the country for the general
wellbeing of the people”, he boasted.
The Okere MP
said in the run up to 2000 elections, the Danquah-Busia tradition had been in
opposition for the past 48 years and it was difficult for many young voters to
remember the good works done by Busia’s government, but this time round, NPP is
lucky that former President Kufour’s administration good work of introducing
National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), free maternal care, Youth employment
Programme(NYEP), School feeding Programme, Mass Transport, Mass cocoa spraying
exercise among other interventions that created employment for many Ghanaians
and empowered several others are still refreshing in the minds of majority of
Ghanaians.
The NPP Campaign
strategist who was asked to comment on a number of issues raised by President
John Maham during his interview with Paul Adom Okyere on Good Evening Ghana on
Metro TV, said President Mahama was being hunted by his own statement in the
run up to 2008 general elections that, any President or government who boasts
of constructing roads, school infrastructure among others was engaged in
exercise in mediocrity.
Hon.Dan Botwe
asked “who interviewed President Mahama and let him go free when he claimed
Nana Addo was engaged in promises whiles the same President who promised to
construct 200, Community Day Senior School before the end of his 4 year term
has not been able to even complete up to 30?
In any case
NPP,is sure of what are we telling
Ghanaians and when given the nod the one -district- one factory projects will
take off. “Let’s assume that, each of the factories is able to create or
provide 1000 jobs more than 200,000 unemployed graduates from Nursing and
Teacher training colleges and other tertiary institutions would have been
employed and even that, we still need other inventions to reduce unemployment.
And are we saying that this promise or idea is not good?
“I can tell you
that if securing loans and constructing roads and schools like what President
Mahama is claiming have done hence Ghanaians should give him another term to
continue, any body can become President of Ghana. Even the loans they took for
roads and schools there are a lot of corruption in the award of contracts or
projects, and SADA,GEEDA among other projects corruption alone can build the
factories Nana Addo has promised.
Hon.Dan Botwe also down played the claim by President Mahama that, Nana Addo is
divisive. According to him, no one or politician in Ghana has worked with all
manner of people across board than Nana Addo.”Nana Addo is a unifier and NPP is
currently united that ever before”, he added.
