Shun false propaganda by opposition- Nana Addo's Campaign Team

Bolgatanga, May 23, GNA- Mr Gabby Asare Otchere Darko, Director of the Danquah Institute, on Thursday, urged the Ghanaian electorate to be wary of the hypocrisy and false propaganda being peddled by some opposition parties to discredit the good work of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.

Mr Otchere Darko, who is also a leading Member of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo's presidential campaign team, asked the electorate to

look critically at the past records of performance of each of the political parties before making their choice in the 2008 presidential and parliamentary elections.

He said this when the campaign team interacted with the media in Bolgatanga to explain some of the good policies being pursued by the Government.

Mr Otchere Darko urged the media to sensitize and inform the public on the good works of the government to enable the people to make a good choice during the upcoming elections.

He decried the situation where opposition parties sought to blame the Government on the increase in prices of crude oil and food and failing to realize that it was a global problem.

He said it was the prudent economic measures taken by the Government that had cushioned the problem and needs to be commended.

Mr Darko pointed out that, comparatively, the NPP Government had performed better than the other parties by improving the economy and workers' conditions of service, particularly in the area of wages and salaries.

He cited a lot of policies that had been introduced by the NPP Government including the National Health Insurance Scheme, Capitation Grants, School Feeding Grants, and Metro Mass Transport among others that had helped transform the lives of Ghanaians.

Mr Darko urged the electorates to vote for a leader, who is capable of consolidating and expanding the good policies of President Kufuor.

"Ghanaians should vote for somebody who has a good track record, both national and international and is prepared to sacrifice to alleviate their plight."

He said the Akufo-Addo' Campaign Planning Committee is planning to contribute to the Northern Development Fund Project and would also make the northern sector the hub of the nation's economy.

He said they would create an enabling environment for the people in the

area to go into commercial agriculture to feed the entire country and the world. Mr Abu Gyinapour, Chairman of the Public Affairs Committee of the Campaign team and Mr John Owusu Afriyie, Regional Communications Coordinator, reiterated the need to vote for the NPP flag bearer to continue the good work of President Kufuor's administration. "Your future and destiny lies in your hands and you need to examine and

make a critical choice for your own benefit", they said.
