Press Release
Office of Nana Akufo-Addo
July 28, 2014
AKUFO-ADDO TO KICK START CAMPAIGN
IN ODODODIODIO
Nana Akufo-Addo will begin his nationwide campaign tour for the
flagbearership of the New Patriotic Party this Tuesday, July 29,
at the Akoto Lante in the Odododiodio constituency, in Accra.
Going back to his roots, the venue for this event will be
Akwei's House, the historical meeting ground of the United Party
(the Danquah-Dombo-Busia family), not far from Betty House,
Swalaba, where Akufo-Addo was born.
Akufo-Addo will be meeting all 34 NPP constituency chairpersons
in the Greater Accra Region, as well as other constituency
executives who are expected to show up. NPP Members of
Parliament in the region are also expected to turn up.
At Akwei's House, Nana Akufo-Addo will address party people,
announce his regional campaign co-ordinators, and articulate the
theme of his campaign. He will also talk about some of the major
issues affecting the country.
Though the focus is on party delegates for the primary, Nana
Akufo-Addo says the main issue facing Ghanaians now is the
economy -- the rising cost of living and cost of production,
unemployment and the political turbulence from public
agitations, as a result of public anger and disillusionment with
the government.
Akufo-Addo believes the major issues confronting the people of
Ghana today are around the increasing sufferings visited on the
people through bad economic policies, the breakdown of social
services, and the loss of confidence in the President and his
administration to offer credible solutions. In solidarity with
business people and consumers, alike, Akufo-Addo will tour the
commercial centre of the capital after addressing party people,
with visits to Kantamanto, where he will meet leaders of various
trade associations and move on to do the same at the Makola
Market. From there, he will visit Okaishie, where Akufo-Addo and
his entourage, including MPs and other party stalwarts, will
interact with traders, shoppers and commuters.
The Akufo-Addo campaign train is expected to continue from there
to Bolgatanga, in the Upper East region, Wednesday, where he
will address party executives from all the constituencies. He
will then proceed to Tamale to continue with his nationwide
tour, which will take him to all 10 regions. More details of the
campaign will be made available on Tuesday.
