Win or lose, I Won't Abandon PNC - Kofi Wayo

MR. CHARLES Kofi Wayo, alias Chuck, has said that he would not abandon the People's National Convention (PNC) but would rather uplift it if even it lost the forthcoming elections.

He said the PNC was ever prepared to fight the battle with the other political parties this year and travel the length and breadth of Ghana to boot the NPP government out of power.

In an interview with The Chronicle at the party's headquarters in Accra last Friday he said the PNC was fighting the battle for the youth in order not to suffer the way their fathers suffered.

Explaining further, Mr. Wayo said NPP and NDC were not willing to change the country because they benefited from it and were doing everything possible to kill it.

According to him, the younger generation believed in the concept of the PNC, saying: "The NPP and NDC produced nothing, gave nothing and did nothing but the Government of PNC would provide better education, better jobs and better health delivery and ensure a free society devoid of nepotism.

"NPP and NDC are the same; they just enjoyed the tax payer's money", he said, adding that none of them was prepared to move the country forward or change the economy.

Asked whether the party can win the elections with only three members in the present parliament, he said NPP did not have many people in parliament in 1996 but Ghanaians voted them into power in 2000.

He said the PNC was the only party that could solve the problems of Ghanaians.

"You the people have the power; if you see that your condition is bad vote for the PNC to have a true change", Wayo said.

He said businesses were collapsing because of the bad rule by the NDC and NPP, adding, "all their promises are lies and false".

Mr. Wayo said that he was prepared to accept any position the party would offer him and would work tirelessly to get more people into the fold.

On the issue of the creation of 30 more constituencies, Wayo said it was senseless to create the constituencies without taking into consideration the cost involved to the nation, which has been declared a Highly Indebted Poor Country (HIPC).

He added that the present 200 parliamentarians did not have computers, offices and other logistics to enable them perform well and to add another 30 would worsen their condition.
