The flagbearer of the New patriotic Party, Nana Akufo Addo, has asserted in no uncertain terms that President John Dramani Mahama cannot teach him any lessons in patriotism.
Speaking at the grand launch of the party’s manifesto for the upcoming December polls, the astute politician held that, Ghanaian electorates must votes out the incompetent Mahama administration so that the NPP can extricate the nation from its current economic crisis.
Below are some of the quotes from Nana Akufo Addo’s speech:
“I am glad that we are making such a happy event out of the launch of our Manifesto.”
“I stand before you as a small and honest man, with a big heart for Ghana”
“It is a fact of our lives that not many people in our country appreciate the significance of a Manifesto in a democracy.”
“A Manifesto represents for me, a solemn social contract between the electorate and the elected.”
“By offering the #NPPManifesto to the Ghanaian public today means, I, as the presidential candidate of NPP sign my part of the contract.”
“Under President J.A. Kufuor in 2001 through to 2008, the private sector flourished and businesses thrived.”
“It’s not enough to count on the suffering of the Ghanaian people as the reason to vote for us”
“We believe in the programmes that we have drawn up in our manifesto, because they offer the solution to crisis”
“It is not enough to count on the suffering of the Ghanaian people as the reason to vote for us.”
“Our programmes will restore hope and bring prosperity. Let us go to every part of the country and spread the story of our good news.”
“Tell the business entrepreneurs that their tax burden will be reduced, and their businesses will flourish, so they can create jobs.”
“We must make sure our message is heard loud and clear from Axim to Aflao, and from Accra to Paga”
“Tell them the NPP did it under President J.A. Kufuor and the NPP will take us to a higher level under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.”
“Tell them the NPP did it under President J.A. Kufuor and the NPP will take us to a higher level under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.”
“Tell them, it doesn’t matter if they have never voted NPP or have regularly voted NDC. Tell them that this is a battle to save Ghana.”
“For the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.” 1 Samuel 17:45–47”
“Ladies and gentlemen, the battle is the Lord’s. They have more money than us, but the battle is the Lord’s.”
“They have more outboard motors, more roofing sheets, more laptops, more sewing machines to give away, but the battle is the Lord’s.”
“They have more giant-sized billboards than us, but the battle is the Lord’s. “
