The flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo-Addo said he wont lie to Ghanaians and deliver on his promises when voted as President in the 2016 general elections.
According to him, Ghana will work again if government prevents corruption and sincerely deals with people who use their political offices to misappropriate public funds.

“I am not going to tell the Ghanaian people that I am going to do something when I know I cannot do it. I will never, ever lie to the people of Ghana. I will never do that. I have too much respect and love for Ghanaians to do that to them,” he reiterated.
Nana Akuffo Addo and his running mate, Alhaji Dr Mahamadu Bawumia together with some key party stalwarts were in the Northern region for a four-day campaign tour.

Having announced the ‘1-District-1-Factory’ policy, ‘1-Village-1-Dam’ policy, the diversification of the country’s agriculture, the revival of the National Health Insurance Scheme, the effective implementation of the Free SHS policy, the setting up of an Infrastructure for Poverty Eradication Programme (IPEP), the restoration of teacher and nursing training allowances, amongst others, the NPP flagbearer assured residents of Tamale that he was committed to fulfilling each and every one of these promises, when, God-willing, he wins this year’s election.
According to Nana Addo, “I was coming to make an appeal to the people of Tamale to join this chorus, but, I can see from this massive crowd that you have joined this chorus for change already.”
The change the NPP is assuring Ghanaians of, he indicated, will mean that “the years of stagnation and recession under John Dramani Mahama will be coming to an end, for the years of progress and prosperity under Nana Akufo-Addo to begin.”
Tens and tens of thousands of Tamale residents poured out onto the streets, on Wednesday, August 31, 2016, to welcome Nana Akufo-Addo, and his running mate, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to the metropolis.
