CPP WILL BRING PROSPERITY — NDUOM (PAGE 17)

Story: Benjamin Xornam Glover, Bolgatanga

THE Presidential Candidate of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, has stated that the only party that could bring economic prosperity to the country was the CPP.
He has, therefore, called on the electorate to vote for it to solve the country's economic problems.
Dr Nduom said this when he addressed members of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU ) and interacted with market women in Bolgatanga as part of his campaign tour to the Upper East Region to introduce himself to stakeholders in the area, outline his vision to them and seek their mandate.
The tour took him to Bolgatanga, Sandema, Navrongo, Zuarungu as well as Paga and Bongo.
Dr Nduom expressed his appreciation to the party's delegates and supporters for electing him as the flag bearer.
He reiterated his vision to revitalise the defunct Zuarungu Meat Factory within the first 100 days of his presidency to provide jobs for the people.
“We have come to reclaim our territory and give hope to the people,” he said, adding that after years of both the NDC and the NPP, it is time Ghanaians gave the CPP the chance to prove what it can do for the people.”
He said the CPP had all the human and material resources to run the country and urged the electorate not to make the wrong choice by not voting for the CPP in the December elections.
Earlier at a meeting with officers of the GPRTU, the Upper East Regional Industrial Relations Officer of the union, Mr Mohammed Siitah Abubakari, debunked assertions that the union was in bed with one political party, the NDC.
“The union was in existence long before the NDC. What the party did was to support us acquire more buses to run our business; beyond that there is nothing. We are prepared to work with any political party that is prepared to work with us,” he said.
Dr Nduom had earlier paid a courtesy call on the Paramount Chief of the Bolgatanga Traditional Area, Naba Martin Abilba II, who commended the candidate for offering himself to lead the country and wished him well.
The CPP flag bearer was accompanied by the General Secretary of the party, Mr Ivor Greenstreet, and other leading members of the party.
