The 2016 flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has urged members of the party to work hard to enable the party to win the 2016 general election.

He said the party’s failure to win the 2016 general election would condemn generations to a future of helplessness, hopelessness and wretchedness.

Nana Akufo-Addo addressing participants on the final day of the International Conference of the NPP at the NH Grand in Amsterdam last Saturday, he said, “If we do not stay focused and work hard and smart together to win the power that is before us, we risk condemning generations to a future of helplessness, hopelessness and wretchedness.

“Ghanaians know that we of the NPP have the ideas. They know we have the competence and they have no doubt that we have the people, and they can tell that we have love for our country, not to seek to destroy it for the sake of enriching ourselves. They know we have what it takes to rescue Ghana and make her work again. And, by the Grace of God, we will not disappoint them,” he added.

According to the NPP flagbearer, there are far too many Ghanaians who struggle and yet cannot make ends meet, and too many Ghanaian children who are being failed by the education system.

“I listen to the disillusionment of the average Ghana with politicians who promise them relief and end up bringing them grief when they get into office. I listen to the journalist who is saddened by the revelation that a government can spend $10 million to print presidential diaries. Yes, you heard me right: $10 million. And yet we are barely able to scrape together $10 million as a down payment on our debt to Nigeria for the supply of a truly essential product – gas,” he said.

He continued, “The message when you travel across the country is the same. We have had enough of the lies. We have been taken for granted for far too long. You and I know Ghanaians deserve better. That is why you and I have the responsibility to do what we have to do to bring about change. Change is coming. Change is within our reach, but change will depend on you and I.”

“I believe that the Ghanaian people are ready to take on our vision — enhancing productivity and diversifying our agriculture; expanding our industrial and manufacturing capacity; reforming our financial sector to support the growth of agriculture and industry; and accelerating the creation of a genuine regional market out of ECOWAS to stimulate Ghanaian enterprise and ingenuity.”

To Ghanaians in the diaspora, Nana Akufo-Addo stated that they had an important and critical role to play.

“You have the expertise, and, in many cases, the capital to contribute to the growth of Ghanaian civilisation. Together, we at home and you abroad, can work to realise the dreams of the founder members for a free, prosperous Ghana as the vanguard for a free, prosperous Africa. We will rebuild Ghana together,” he said.
