The Flag Bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has stated that Ghana's democracy was gradually being consolidated as a result of the good governance and the rule of law being practised by the government.
He has, therefore, urged Ghanaians to return the party to power during the December general election to enable it to continue building a healthy and prosperous nation.
Nana Akufo-Addo said this when he addressed members of the Tertiary Education Confederacy of the New Patriotic Party (TESCON) of the University of Education, Winneba on Sunday as part of his campaign tour of the Central Region.
He said the NPP government had laid the foundation to propel the nation into a middle-income status and expressed the hope that members of TESCON would continue to work hard and to support the government to retain power during the elections.
Nana Akufo-Addo said with the oil find in some parts of the country, the nation was on the verge of accelerated economic growth.
He said education played a key role in the development of a nation and it was for that reason that the government was offering the opportunity for all to attend school.
Papa Owusu Ankomah; Dr Kofi Konadu Apraku; Mr Yaw Osaafo Marfo; Dr Frimpong Boateng; Mr Owusu Agyapong and Mr Nkrabea Effah-Dartey, all members of the NPP campaign team, appealed to Ghanaians to vote massively for the party in the December elections.
The President of TESCON, Mr David Nortey said TESCON had been contributing to the success of the party in the Central Region, but their activities had been constrained due to inadequate support.
He, therefore, appealed to the party hierarchy to support them with logistics to enable them to achieve their vision for the party.
Earlier, Nana Akufo-Addo and his entourage paid a courtesy call on the Omanhene of the Effutu Traditional Area, Neenyi Ghartey VII and the Zongo Chief, Sulemani Saligah IV.
Neenyi Ghartey appealed to Nana Akufo-Addo to help to reduce the number of chieftaincy disputes in the Central Region, if he became the president.
A large crowd, made up of party supporters and sympathizers, amidst brass band music, followed the entourage as they paraded through some principal streets of Winneba.
