<\/a>[contextly_sidebar id=”qHczelnfdFADrOwb0VVV2yVn7LeJT1RH”]According to Nana Akufo-Addo, the NDC\u2019s changing ripostes, after the expose by Dr. Bawumia, his running mate, on the over 76,000 foreigners on Ghana\u2019s register proves beyond that Ghana needs a new register.<\/p>\n
\u201cOriginally they (NDC) told us the register from Togo that we presented was fake. That argument has now been abandoned. We then heard about the argument of identical twins. That too has been abandoned. Now we are told the 76,000 matches we found are of NDC people living in Togo and Benin,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Nana Akufo-Addo also stated that the current argument being made by the NDC is that the NPP is demanding for a new register because \u201cwe want to discriminate against the Volta Region.\u201d<\/p>\n
The NPP\u2019s demand, according to the NPP flagbearer, \u201cis about foreigners\u201d on Ghana\u2019s register.<\/p>\n
The NDC\u2019s argument about tribe, according to Akufo-Addo, is because \u201cthere is no argument against what we have said.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cIt is not about the Volta Region. It is about foreigners. They should not take part in deciding who should be the President of Ghana. Ghanaians, likewise, should not go to Togo to vote in their elections. That is what we are saying.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nana Akufo-Addo explained to the gathering that the NPP\u2019s call for a new voters\u2019 register is nothing strange, considering the fact that majority of countries on the African continent who have had reasons to doubt the credibility of their voters\u2019 roll have, before the holding of elections, compiled new registers.<\/p>\n
He cited the case of Nigeria, where before the election that saw General Muhammadu Buhari emerge victorious, a new, credible voters\u2019 register was compiled.<\/p>\n
Cote d\u2019Ivoire and Tanzania, who will be going to the polls later this year, according to Nana Akufo-Addo, have all completed the compilation of a new registers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Togo, it is our own Excellency, President John Dramani Mahama, who gave them a \u2018new\u2019 register. The opposition complained to him, as Chairman of ECOWAS. He went to Togo and asked the authorities, namely the President and the Electoral Commission, in Togo that they should postpone the election, so work can be done to satisfy the concerns of the opposition. That was done, and the opposition leader accepted register and went into the elections with it. What is good for Togo is good for Ghana,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
He assured the people of the Volta Region that under his government, just as was witnessed under President J.A Kufuor, the people of the region will get their fair share of development.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are coming to do a job for Ghana devoid of any form of discrimination,\u201d he stressed, adding that \u201cthe NPP is coming to power because we want to create an enabling environment for the creation of jobs for our people, ensure that access to education for all school-going children does not continue to be a headache for parents, and also deliver an effective healthcare system, where the National Health Insurance Scheme works very well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
