Let's (NDC) not be complacent - Adu Yeboah

Winneba (C/R), May 19, GNA - The Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Lawyer Samuel Adu Yeboah has cautioned supports of the party to shun complacency in their campaign activities for the 2012 general elections.

He said the whole nation was looking up to the region, which had produced the President for the nation not only to lead exemplary lives but also to increase the percentage of its votes in 2008 elections and win all the 17 parliamentary seats for the party Lawyer Yeboah who was addressing a conference of party executives from wards and constituencies in the region at Winneba said politics does not follow logic and that supporters of a party today could become its enemies tomorrow.

Also present at the conference, which was on the theme: "Intra-Party Cohesion - Resolving Differences for a Better Ghana", were Municipal/District chief Executives and Members of Parliament. The Regional Chairman said the party's manifesto recognised DCEs and MPs as part of constituency executives therefore, they must be invited to attend meetings.

He stressed that the party did not recognise "footsoldiers" since that terminology did not exit in its manifesto. Mr. Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, Eastern Regional Minister and the former national organiser of the party, advised government functionaries including ministers, metropolitan, municipal and district chief executives to maintain the status quo.

He said any change in lifestyles would raise suspicion since the people knew the lives they led before earning an appointment. Mr. Ofosu Ampofo advised them against refusing to pick calls and changing of their sim cards just to avoid people who needed their help. Mrs. Ama Benyiwa Doe stressed that the government was on course and charged party executives to work hard to support the good work that the government was doing. She cautioned supporters against unnecessary agitations and in fighting, since they could disturb the peace that the government needed to stay focused on its mission. 20 May 10
