The 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has urged Ghanaians to ignore persons who are discrediting his policy to build factories<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in all 216 districts of the country, saying such sceptics, have always made it a point to bastardize policies and programmes announced by him.<\/p>\n

The National Democratic Congress administration has said Nana Addo’s policy is not attainable<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, describing it as a desperate vote-buying promise.<\/p>\n

According to Nana Akufo-Addo, \u201canytime I bring an idea, my political opponents will say \u2018he cannot do it\u2019, only to turn round, use the backdoor, and try to implement it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NPP leader explained that \u201cthis talk of \u2018it can\u2019t be done\u2019, anytime a new idea is proposed by me, is not one that bothers me. It is those who have no vision or clue of how to develop policies to help the Ghanaian people who peddle such stories. These people, clearly, have no business in leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nana Akufo-Addo made this known on the final day of his tour of the Central Region on Monday, June 20, when he paid a courtesy call on the Sarkin Zongo of Winneba, Chief Sulemana Salaga, on his tour of the Effutu constituency.<\/p>\n

Reiterating his commitment to the establishment of the Zongo Development Fund, Nana Akufo-Addo urged the residents of Winneba Zongo not to be side-tracked into believing that this pledge cannot be fulfilled, citing examples of policies he introduced in the past, which was described by \u201cexperts\u201d and political opponents as not doable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I said I was going to implement the Free SHS policy, Mahama said it cannot be done. But, later he turned around and tried to implement it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Again, the NPP flagbearer noted that \u201cthe same way I proposed the Northern Development Authority to help the three Northern Regions, so as to help bridge the developmental gap between the North and South, there was the usual talk of \u2018it cannot be done\u2019, \u2018he can\u2019t do it\u2019. Again, he (President Mahama) tried, through the creation of SADA, to implement my idea. He failed woefully at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nana Akufo-Addo, therefore urged Ghanaians not to be hoodwinked by this propaganda, as it is a clear evidence of persons who have no vision of how to bring progress to Ghana.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cit is only a good leader who can spot the problems and propose policies to solve the problems to the benefit of Ghanaians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ignore the anti-Moslem propaganda<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this election year, Nana Akufo-Addo admonished residents to be wary of the anti-Moslem propaganda that will be waged against the NPP by appointees and functionaries of the NDC.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs usual they will come with their usual politics of \u2018NPP does not like Moslems\u2019, but I am urging you to ignore them. In 8 years of President Kufuor, nothing was done to indicate that we did not like Moslems. Under my tenure of office, nothing of that sort will be done,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n

He explained that if he or the NPP did not like Moslems, there is no way that he would have selected Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to be his running mate, just as all other flagbearers of the NPP before him had selected Moslems as their running mates, including the late Alhaji Aliu Mahama, Vice President to President Kufuor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is all propaganda. Do not listen to them, and, also, urge the young men and women under your care to ignore such talk. Let us vote for the person and party who can do the work and bring wealth and prosperity to the people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

An Akufo-Addo government, he added, will also reintroduce the payment of allowances to Islamic instructors, which were in existence under the Kufuor government, but had been scrapped by the Mahama government.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the good management of the economy by President Kufuor, he was able to pay these allowances. However, they have been cancelled by President Mahama because of the mismanagement of the economy. When I win the elections, I will reintroduce it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In concluding, he urged the Zongo community in Winneba to be mindful of the fact that \u201cthe hardship and poverty that has drenched the entire country does not only affect the Zongo community, or Christians. It is affecting all of us in Ghana. So those who come to you in the name of politics of division must be ignored. Those kinds of politicians are not after your welfare. I am here to do a job for all Ghanaians so we bring progress to all.\u201d
