Story: Rose Hayford Darko & Anastasia Dzovor

THE Flag Bearer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, has promised Ghanaians a more transformed economy if they vote him into power.
Dr Nduom said Ghana’s economy was started by Dr Nkrumah, whose economic policies were second to none and, therefore, his good work would be continued by his (Dr Nduom’s) administration to ensure that business boomed to build the economy of the country.
He was addressing market women and traders at the Tema Community 1 and Ashaiman markets as part of his campaign tour of the metropolis.
He said Nkrumah did not say “work and happiness” for nothing, but to build an economy that would involve the people.
The flag bearer talked about a campaign of ideas and not insults and therefore called on the market women to vote for the CPP for a booming business.
He assured the traders of his support to enable them to realise their gains after working hard to build the economy.
He noted that his message was simple and that was to encourage the people to vote for him and the party for a change in government and governance.
Dr Nduom was optimistic that he would not disappoint the electorate, emphasising that he was second to none among all other flag bearers.
Dr Nduom was hailed as he walked through the markets in Tema and Ashaiman, causing human traffic and shaking hands with the women who sang along with him, “We want change, we want change”.
He said he had come to continue with the good work of Dr Nkrumah without whom the people would not have had a well-planned city like Tema.
The flag bearer said he would improve on what the ‘architect’ started to make sure Ghana was reborn among the best of nations.
He also assured the traders that the CPP would vigorously revive the private sector to make the youth more useful.
He said the NPP and the NDC had been given the opportunity to run the administration of the country and so it was prudent for Ghanaians to give the CPP its turn to prove the difference in transforming the country’s economy.
The Greater Accra Chairman of the CPP, Mrs Susan Adu-Amankwah, who led the CPP Presidential candidate on his rounds, called on the electorate to vote Dr Nduom and the CPP for a sound and peaceful nation.
She said the CPP had changed colours and would want to prove to the people of Ghana that the party was alive and had been rekindled to face the numerous problems of the country.
At Communities 5 and 6,, the Secretary of the GPRTU, Mr Isaac Abban, congratulated the flag bearer and welcomed him to Tema with the prayer that he worked hard to achieve his aim.
Mr Abban, however assured him of their support for a successful campaign.
Madam Tsotsoo Amui, a fresh fish seller, hailed the flag bearer for including them in his campaign and shook hands with him, with the assurance that they were strongly behind him for a change.
At Ashaiman, Dr Nduom was hailed amidst singing and praises by the market women, after which he paid a courtesy call on a Chief at Ashaiman, Alhaji Mohammed Tindani.
He had earlier visited some satellite markets in Tema to interact with traders and workers.
