The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has rubbished suggestions by the Vice President, Kwesi Amissah Arthur, that they are\u00a0incapable of managing the country should they be handed power in the November polls.<\/p>\n
In the view of the Vice President, the NPP\u2019s seeming inability to settle their internal issues, indicate that they cannot\u00a0manage the country.<\/p>\n
But the party’s 2016\u00a0Presidential Candidate, Nana Akufo Addo, in what appears to be a response to Amissah Arthur, says the party can boast of rich human resource that can turn around the fortunes of the country.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026We have the solutions to change the course of the nation\u2019s destiny and lift the masses out of misery. We have the solutions to put food on the table, create jobs and comfort for Ghanaians.\u201d<\/p>\n
Have faith in me<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking at a gathering of chiefs and people of Anhwiase in the Western Region, Nana Addo further appealed to Ghanaians to have faith in him and his vision for the nation.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to promise you that Godwilling when I get the presidential nod I will not disappoint you.I beseech you all to pray for me because the hardship that the country is about to face is unimaginable; but the NPP has the solutions to these looming challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n NPP only interested in\u00a0owning\u00a0property\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The Vice President, after suggesting that the NPP lacked the right leadership to govern the country should they be voted in the November election, also stated that the party is only interested in property owning since their ideology hinges on property-owning democracy.<\/p>\n Speaking at the launch of a group calling itself \u2018Young professionals for John Mahama and Amissah Arthur\u2019 at the campus of the University of Professional Studies, Mr. Amissah said the NPP is not ready to improve the lives of the citizenry.<\/p>\n \u201cHow do we develop a meritocratic but compassionate society and not a self-seeking culture that intensifies inequality? Our vision is to create a compassionate nation based on the merits of people; on meritocracy and that we compare to our opponents who are self-seeking because their own motto tells you what they are about. I don\u2019t know if you know the motto; property owning democracy for themselves. That\u2019s property for me but not to expand opportunities for us. So we are two extremes\u2026they are looking for self; and we are looking for community. They are looking to expand the opportunities for an individual; and we are looking to expand opportunities for a group so that\u2019s the difference between us,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Marian Ansah\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana
