My Gov't will distribute national cake to every corner -Atta Mills

Odoben (C/R), Aug. 23, GNA-The flag bearer of National Democratic Congress (NDC) Prof. John Evans Atta Mills has said a government under his administration would distribute the national cake equally to every part of the country.

He said his government would be to the total development of the country to improve the living condition of every Ghanaian. Prof. Atta Mills said these at well-attended separate rallies at Odoben, Beedum, Jamera, and Brakwa to mobilise the electorate to vote for the NDC during the December general election when he toured Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa district on Friday.

He therefore appealed to the people to vote massively for him as the President and Madam Georgina Nkrumah Aboah as the Member of Parliament for better Ghana.

Professor Atta Mills is being accompanied by Madam Ama Benyiwa Doe, National Woman's Organiser of the NDC, Mr. Yaw Boateng Gyan Deputy National Organiser, Mr, Ato Ahwoi, a member of the Campaign Team and Mr. Valis Achianu, Central Region Chairman of the party. The entourage earlier paid a courtesy call on chiefs of the various towns he visited.

Prof. Atta Mills said, "NPP government could not fulfil the promises they made to Ghanaians before they were voted into office and have also mismanaged the affairs of the country so they must be voted out". He cautioned members of the party not to involve themselves in acts that will bring the name of the party into disrepute. He urged them to tolerate the views and behaviour of people from other political parties to avoid troubles.

Prof. Mills assured cocoa farmers, irrespective of their political affiliation of enough assistance and incentive to expand their farms to increase productivity.

Nana Kobena Yamoah Odikro of Brakwa appealed to Prof. Atta Mills that, when voted into office, he should rehabilitate Brakwa-Akroso-Asamankese road and re-construct the bridge on river Ochi near Ochisoa, which has become a death trap.
