I'LL BE PRESIDENT OF GHANA, NOT NDC (PAGE 16)

THE flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor John Evans Atta Mills, has assured voters in the Western Region and the country as a whole that when voted into power, he will be the President of the country and not only supporters of the NDC.
Prof Mills was addressing supporters of the NDC at Wassa Akropong during the second phase of his regional tour.
“I will be the President of every citizen of Ghana in a government which will not entertain discrimination, intimidation or favouritism but will be guided by fairness, justice, equality, peace and unity for the development of the county,” he said.
“I will swear with the Bible to serve the people of Ghana. Therefore, it will be unjust and unfair to be selective or discriminatory; we are one people, one nation, with a common destiny and aspiration,” he stated.
Before addressing the enthusiastic supporters, Prof Mills had gone on a door-to-door campaign to interact with market women.
He assured them that his administration would do everything possible to ensure that the current hardships facing Ghanaians were reduced.
At the market, the traders left their wares to catch a glimpse of Prof Mills, shake his hands and hug him, while others danced and sang to the admiration of the crowd and his entourage.
He told them that come January next year, his administration would create an enabling environment to ensure that every citizen who embarked on a productive venture would be successful.
According to Prof Mills, under an NDC government, the road network in the region would be improved to facilitate the movement of people and the evacuation of agricultural produce to the marketing centres.

He said one of his priorities would be the development of agriculture and also to ensure that the country’s hardworking farmers benefited from their labour.
The NDC flag bearer said even though the discovery of oil at Cape Three Points in Ahanta West District was good news, the country’s prospects lay in the agricultural sector.
Prof Mills later called on the Paramount Chief of the Wassa Amenfi Traditional Area, Kasapreko Kwame Basanyi II.
