The embattled
2016 flagbearer of United People’s Party (UPP),Mr.AKwasi Addai-Odike, has
advised the main opposition party, NPP not to trust their polling station
agents as far as the 7th December,2016 general election is concerned
but rather, they should select people who have their own businesses and cannot
be induced with money or material things.
According to
him, President John Mahama and the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC)
now desperate to hold unto power would want to do any thing to manipulate the
outcome of the elections in their favour.
Speaking
exclusively with Hello FM in Kumasi during one of its political shows hosted by
King Edward, Mr.Odike who has openly declared his support to Nana Akufo Addo, the
2016 Presidential candidate of New Patriotic Party (NPP),warned that, NPP
leadership should be extra vigilant especially on the voting day.
Mr.Akwasi
Addai-Odike Predicted that, Nana Akufo Addo will win the forthcoming general
elections one touch but cautioned against any complacency before, during and
after the polls.
He said Nana
Addo’s one –district –one factory is very feasible and urged Ghanaians,
especially the teaming unemployed youth to vote massively for Nana Akufo Addo
who has come out with policies and programmes to help strengthen the economy
and help reduce the unemployment rate in the country.
Mr.Odike a well
known businessman who supported President Mahama in 2012 polls, said President
Mahama doesn’t listen to advice.
According to
him, he had enough time to advice President Mahama as soon as he won power to
try as much as possible to improve upon the economy to empower the private
sector to help create more jobs but he failed to heed to the advice and after
collapsing the economy, President Mahama is now promising that, when given
another opportunity he will improve the economy to create more jobs.
Mr.Odike said
President Mahama/NDC Government’s Community Day Senior High School (SHS) is not
a priority because there are a lot of existing schools which he could have used
the funds to expand.
He lamented that, due to instability of the
economy, high inflation rate, high lending rate, the recent energy crisis among
other factors many investors as well as ordinary citizens are suffering under
President Mahama led administration and called on all Ghanaians to turn-out in
their number on 7th December,2016 and vote massively to help save
the country from the economic mess.
He said the wind
of change blowing across the country, which recently blew in America, should be
adopted by majority of Ghanaians to bring the economy back on track.
Mr.Akwasi Addai
Odike warned Nana Addo and NPP that, if Ghanaians give them the nod and they
also come and mess up with the economy he will lead the crusade to get
Ghanaians vote them out in 2020 elections.
