Opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) youth in the Northern Region have reminded the party\u2019s delegates of the need to by popular acclamation endorse Nana Akufo Addo\u2019s candidature at the forthcoming super delegates congress.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of them on Saturday August 30, 2014 clad in NPP T\u2019 Shirts hit some principal streets of Tamale amidst singing and dancing.<\/p>\n
Executives of the three constituencies in the Tamale Metro Area joined the road procession and re-echoed their slogan \u201cNo Nana, No vote in 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n
They held placards some of which read, \u201cNana save Ghanaians\u201d \u201cPower now not 2020\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u201cAlliance for victory 2016\u201d and \u201cWe need peace within NPP for victory 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n
The road procession which lasted for several hours was climaxed with a mini rally at one of the popular NPP youth camps called Oscar Base near the Tamale West Hospital.<\/p>\n
Addressing the teeming crowd, the Regional Youth Organizer, Alhaji Rashid Salifu COP said the party will damage its electoral victory in 2016 without Nana Akufo Addo as the flag bearer.<\/p>\n
He implored the delegates to demonstrate their hunger for political power by giving Nana Addo one touch success.<\/p>\n
Alhaji Rashid COP claimed the NPP\u2019s twice Presidential candidate will get over 90% of the vote cast at the super delegates congress.<\/p>\n
The Tamale central constituency Secretary, Musah Mutawakil explained that their endorsement of Nana Akufo Addo never meant they were against the other six aspirants.<\/p>\n
According to him, Nana Akufo Addo\u2019s popularity was unmatched with that of the other aspirants, hence their clarion call for him to be given the nod.<\/p>\n
He asserted that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) will hand over power to Nana Akufo Addo after the 2016 polls to fix the economy.<\/p>\n
At the rally, the regional Chairman, Daniel Bugri Naabu commended the party\u2019s youth in the region for their forethought.<\/p>\n
He declared Nana Akufo Addo automatic winner of the impending super and national delegates\u2019 congress.<\/p>\n
He thereby inspired the youth to start house to house campaigns to maximize the party\u2019s support base in the region.<\/p>\n
Daniel Bugri Naabu called for unity after the flag bearer contest to wrestle power from the NDC in 2016.<\/p>\n
The road procession ended peacefully without police escort though the event organizers told Citi News the regional Police command was\u00a0\u00a0officially informed ahead of the event.<\/p>\n
