"The NDC has taken the volta region for granted"

Mr. Kofi Lugudor, NPP Volta Regional Youth Organizer, has called on the youth in the Volta Region to break ranks with their elders and vote for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the coming elections.

He said in spite of the unflinching support it had received, the NDC had taken the region for granted and only paid lip service to its plight.

Mr. Lugudor, who was speaking at an NPP Ketu-South Constituency rally at the weekend at Aflao, said the youth needed to change the status quo to attract respect and benefits to the region.

Mr Lugudor said Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and NPP had what it takes to develop the country and the Volta Region as showed in the previous NPP administrations track record.

Mr. Godwin Yayra Ekuawu, NPP Ketu-South Parliamentary Candidate, said the previous NPP administration had significant projects such the National Health Insurance Scheme to show for its performance, saying he was hopeful of an overwhelming victory for the NPP in December.

He said he would bring his business expertise into play by prompting and supporting the youth to undertake entrepreneurial activities as a solution to the unemployment problem.

Mr Linus Coffie, a Former Municipal Chief Executive of the area, challenged the ruling party to come out with a list of development projects for comparison with the NPP record for the area.

“I am sure the NDC will forever remain mute when they come to the reality of the facts and figures,” he said.
