The New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for the New Juaben South constituency has entreated Ghanaians to give the party’s flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo a chance in the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections.

According to Dr. Mark Asibe-Yeboah, the former attorney general is determined to “implement brilliant ideas and policies that would fix the problems facing the country and will also improve the living standards of the citizenry”.

He made the comments Sunday when joined members of the Pentecost International Worship Center (PIWC) in Koforidua for church service.

He blamed the problems facing the country on poor leadership and promised an Akufo-Addo government will fix them.

He said Ghana needs a politically committed and visionary leader who will ensure that resources of the country are utilized judiciously. He bemoaned what he described as wastage of resources in the Mahama-led government.

“I am here to worship with you not because we are in a political season but because I am part of you. We as politicians have pledged our commitment to ensuring peace after and before the 2016 election, however, we implore you to pray for the country to have a peaceful election. But I my message to you is to give Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo a chance as he contests for the third time.

“let me tell you one thing; Nana Addo is a man with great vision for the country ,he will put the country on the right track with his brilliant economic and social policies,” he assured.

For his part, the District Pastor of the PIWC Pastor Nii Tackei-Otoo called on Politicians to be mindful of their utterances so they do not instigate violence in the November polls. He also cautioned the media to be circumspect and professional in their reportage.
