MILLS ENDS TOUR OF WESTERN REGION (PAGE 14)

THE flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. John Evans Atta Mills, has ended the third phase of his tour of the Western Region with a call on Ghanaians to register when the Electoral Commission opens the voters register.
This, he said, would ensure that they could vote the NDC into power to take the reins of government.
The flag bearer who made the call during rallies at various parts of the region, including Kwesimintsim, Market Circle, Kokompe and Botuase at Sekondi and Mpohor, said change and victory was staring at them, and that there was the need for all to register and have a valid voters identity card to vote the elephant out.
He urged supporters of the party to conduct their campaigns in a civil manner since irrespective of politics “we are all Ghanaians”.
At the Trinity Presbyterian Church where Professor Mills and his team paid reverence to God and had meeting with the Local Council of Churches, he was charged to let truth, love and uprightness be his watchword.
Prof Mills thanked them and urged the supporters to first acknowledge God in everything they did.
The people of Mpohor welcomed him with brass band music at the outskirts of the town.
At Kokompe, the artisans left their tools and lined up the street with gallons to remind the flag bearer that, at the time the NDC was leaving office, the price of petrol was 64Gp but today the price was GHC53, and still moving up.
At Sekondi, roads were besieged and residents, both young and old, danced.
Addressing the gathering Professor Mills charged the people to get ready and be part of the change.
He said they should not feel that the Western Region had been neglected.
