New Tafo, Aug. 5, GNA - Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, a presidential candidate aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has commended the other aspirants for the peaceful manner they had conducted their campaigns so far.

"This shows that the party will continue to be united after the congress on Saturday and goes ahead to wrest power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2012."

Nana Akufo-Addo said he would support anybody who emerges winner in the contest to prove to the world that there is unity in the party.

He said this when he addressed Abuakwa North constituency delegates at New Tafo as part of his campaign tour of the area. Nana Akufo-Addo appealed to the supporters to bury all their differences and see themselves as one people with a common destiny to fight their opponent, the NDC.

Nana Akufo Addo accused President John Atta Mills' administration of lying to win power and had turned its back on Ghanaians.

He said President Mills and the NDC told Ghanaians dozens of lies to vote for them and now the hardship they were facing was unbearable.

Nana Akufo-Addo said the National Health Insurance Scheme, as a better way of bringing proper health care to the people, had been destroyed by the NDC government.

He accused the NDC for not being able to implement a single national policy 18 months into office, adding that all the policies currently being ran were introduced by the NPP administration.

Nana Akufo Addo accused the NDC administration of mismanaging all the good policies such as the National Youth Employment Programme, the National Health Insurance Scheme and the School Feeding Programme.

He appealed to the delegates to disabuse their minds of all the uncomplimentary statements about him by his political opponents and give him the nod to lead the party to victory in 2012.

The director of operation of the Nana Akufo Addo campaign, Mr Boakye Agyarko, appealed to the delegates not to allow themselves to be deceived by anybody that Nana Akufo-Addo was too old and could not lead the party to victory.
