Cape Coast, Oct. 4, GNA – Mrs Yvonne Nduom, wife of the Convention Peoples’ Party (CPP’s) flagbearer, on Friday said the CPP is a nationalistic party that is devoid of ethnic and tribal connotations, and would therefore ensure that the interest and welfare of the people were paramount, if given the mandate. Mrs Nduom made the remarks when she interacted with women at the Kotokuraba and Abura markets, and also met regional executives of hairdressers and beauticians association, at “Master Sam” all suburbs of Cape Coast as part of her three-day tour to the region. She noted that even though the CPP was dormant for some time, it has now been revived and its message was making great impact in the country, adding that, when given the nod it will seek the interest of women, by establishing a micro-finance scheme, to offer them financial support to boost their businesses, as part of its measures to financially empower them. She said her husband who is an economic consultant, together with his team of experts, were poised to transform the fortunes of the country for the better, and that the local textile industry among others will be given a boost to generate more income for the individual and country at large. Mrs Nduom told the women not to be deceived into believing that their votes will be wasted if cast for the CPP during the elections as was being speculated around. She said Ghanaians have gotten the message of the party “yeresesamu” well and judging from the response from people, the CPP will surely win the 2008 December elections, as most people are calling for a change. Mrs Nduom was accompanied by the members of the Nduom Campaign Team among them were Nii Oshiu Codjoe, Greater Accra youth organizer and Ms Rosemond Agyapong, central regional women’s organizer. Other places to be toured included Mankessim, Anomabu, Winneba and Swedru.
