A minister of state at the presidency and Member of Parliament for the Kpone
Katamanso constituency, Nii Laryea Afortey Agbo, says, he is confident Ghanaians
will retain President Mills and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in power
come 2012 elections.

‘’As an M.P and Minister of State I can tell you boldly that my heart is at rest
because of some of the things I am seeing going on in the country in terms of
development’’ Hon. Afortey Agbo said.

Addressing staff and students of the Dzorwulu special school in Accra, when he
represented former President Rawlings to donate food items and some assorted
drinks to the school as part of the 29th anniversary celebrations of the 31st
December revolution, The M.P for Kpone Akatamanso assured Ghanaians that with
support from the party leadership and former President Rawlings ‘’they will put
the country in a level that by 2012 we will not struggle to maintain the NDC to
power’’ Afortey Agbo said.
He said, his presence at the school was to represent both the current President
and former President Rawlings to signify to Ghanaians that the NDC is united and
a family that does things together.
‘’We always work and operate in the name of the two strong leaders thus nobody
should do a mistake’’ Hon. Afortey Agbo said.
He indicated that the ideals and believes of Junth 4th 1979 and the 31st
December 1981 revolutions was alive.

‘’We hold on to it, we abide by it and do things within the beliefs and ideals
of the revolutions’’ Afortey stated.
He explained that it was only the ideals that can hold the NDC in check, so that
we don’t go way ward or do things according to individual interest.
According to him, government and the NDC will not neglect Ghanaians and will not
use the trust reposed on them by Ghanaians by voting the NDC in power to enrich
themselves at their expense.
He concurred with his President on the declaration of 2011 as action year,
adding that things will be different this year.
Minister of state at the Presidency Nii Laryea Afortey Agbo said he felt so
ashamed to see incumbent governments in Africa struggling to subvert the will of
the people after elections by way of imposing themselves on the people.

’’This is what the NDC does not believe in thus the NDC will not take the
electorates for granted but will work assiduously to achieve the better Ghana
they promised Ghanaians’’. He added that hard work is what will ensure President
Mills second term in office, through the ballot box and not any other means.
