Support for NPP gov't will not be in vain- Prez Aide

Nii Ayite Boafo, a Presidential Aide has assured Ghanaians that they would never regret for throwing their full weight behind the government of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He said the tangible gains recorded by the Government within a short span of its rule should galvanise the people of Ghana for the arduous task of regenerating and restructuring of various facets of the nation?s economic life.

Nii Ayite Boafo, who made the remarks during an interaction with the executives of the UK and Ireland Branch of the New Patriotic Party in London, said that despite the fact that the Government inherited massive problems, it had managed to put its house in order to begin the onward drive towards solving the multifaceted problems bequeathed to the nation by the previous government.

?The NPP government is a progressive government, it is dynamic and concerned about the need for all-round improvement in the lives of the people. We promise to make something out of nothing because we inherited nothing?, he said.

Mr Boafo said the foundation stone for the creation of wealth for all Ghanaians would materialise in the creation of employment for the skilled and unskilled throughout the country.

The Presidential Aide thanked Ghanaians for their patience and understanding and called for their continued and unflinching support for the government in the task of concretising the foundation for the take-off of the country for the future generation.

Touching on investments, Mr Nii Ayite Boafo who is also the NPP Regional Secretary for the Greater Accra Region asked Ghanaians outside the country to be torch-bearers of the investment drive into the country.

At another meeting with the members of the Ga Adangbe Foundation, Nii Ayite Boafo, said the restoration of macro-economic stability, reduction of inflation and interest rate, the halt in the free fall of the cedi, adherence to the rule of law and good governance epitomised the determination of the government to reverse and bring life into the national fabric.

He urged them to complement whatever efforts the government is putting in place for the development of the Ga Adangbe areas by contributing their quota either financially or materially.
