Wa, July 10, GNA – Dr Kofi Apraku, National Campaign Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged Ghanaians to retain the Party in power because it has proved to be the best that ever ruled the country. He said in spite of the global economic challenges, all economic indices were showing resilience through prudent management, which was not the case when the National Democratic Congress (NDC) faced a similar situation during its rule.
“You do not change a captain when times are difficult; you keep him to calm the storms. When the NDC faced challenges, the economy almost collapsed.”
Dr Apraku was inaugurating a 12-member Upper West Regional Campaign Monitoring Team of the NPP at Wa.
He said the NPP government increased Gross Domestic Product from 3.7 billion dollars in 2001, to 15 billion dollars and that this would further be doubled when the country starts commercial production of oil. Dr Apraku advised all party supporters to unite and rally behind the flagbearer, Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo to ensure total victory in the elections.
“If you say you are Apraku’s man, Kyeremanten’s man or Nana’s man, and you refuse to come together, we will all suffer at our various levels if we give power to the NDC”. Alhaji Abdul-Rahman Abubakari, Regional Chairman of the NPP, said the Party would increase parliamentary seats and presidential votes in the Region this year.
He said the NPP did well in terms of provision of social services and infrastructural development, adding that this feat put the party in a favourable position to package and sell a message of hope to the people.
