The 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo-Addo, says his message for the 2016 general election is on job creation, hinged on the industrialization of the economy and the modernization of agriculture.

According to Nana Akufo-Addo, the claim by President Mahama that the NPP has no message is laughable, because the party, since 2008, has remained consistent on the message of industrializing Ghana’s economy, whereas President Mahama’s message-less campaign is evident in the refrain of “e dey bee keke”.

"Mahama says we in the NPP have no message. His message of ‘e dey bee keke’ is one I will never put before the Ghanaian people. Is ‘e dey bee keke’ a message? What do you understand by ‘e dey bee keke’? If this is the kind of message he wants from the NPP, he will never get it," he added.

He continued, "Our message is about bringing jobs to the people of Ghana – reviving our economy, and improving and diversifying our agriculture. That is the business we are coming to do (when the NPP wins this year’s elections)."

Nana Addo however urged residents of Asesewa and the people of Upper Manya not to be swayed by the usual “skeptic talk” of “it cannot be done” and “it is impossible” any time he outlines policies and programmes aimed at bringing progress and prosperity to Ghanaians.

"It was the same thing they said when we wanted to introduce the National Health Insurance Scheme, Free SHS and the Northern Development Authority. Today, they have turned around and are trying to implement these policies. We are coming into office to fully implement these policies as we originally planned," he noted.
