Northerners deserve to be presidents -
Ayana
Ashaiman, Aug 19, Ghanadot/GNA -
The Deputy Greater Accra Regional Organizer of the People's
National Convention (PNC), Mr Charlie Ayana has called on
northerners not to be content with the position of a vice
president but should rather aspire to occupy the presidency.
According to Mr Ayana, the trend of political parties always
selecting northerners for the second office must be changed
as they also deserve to lead the nation as presidents.
Speaking at the confirmation of the party's candidate for
the Ashaiman constituency over the weekend, he urged
Ghanaians especially northerners to vote for the party's
flagbearer, Dr Edward Mahama to change the perception of the
public on northerners.
He also called on members of the PNC not to defect to the
other political parties under the flimsy excuse that the
party was not growing but should rather work towards
attracting more followers.
Mr Samson Asaki Awingobit, PNC parliamentary candidate for
the constituency in an acceptance speech after being
declared unopposed by Mr Fitz Addo, Deputy Tema Metropolitan
Electoral Officer, rebuffed the notion that the party
belonged to only the northerners.
The 29-year-old Life Insurer said the party was a multi
cultural one that was focusing on empowering the youth for
the development of the country.
