The presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has stated that he will put an end to tribal politics in the country when voted into power.
Addressing party faithful at the Upper West Regional Rally held at the Tendamba JSH Park in Wa, Nana Addo said he has spent his adult life fighting for the progress of Ghana
“I fought Acheampong’s Union Government, Acheampong was an Ashanti, but it didn’t make any difference to me. I thought the Union Government was a bad idea and I opposed it†he stated, adding that “I opposed PNDC under Rawlings, who is a Ewe because I thought military government is not good for Ghana. I am tribal blind, I am colour blind. It is Ghana which is my interest".
According to him, Ghana under his rule will be a united country that will offer everybody a good standard of living.
“We are moving forward into a new destiny, a destiny which has a united Ghana being able to afford a good standard of living for all Ghanaians. We are going to build a new civilization, a new Ghanaian civilization which is going to be the light of Africa and the wonder of the world".
He further pointed out that “we, here in Ghana, are capable of it. Our destiny, the destiny of the Black Star, beckons us, as we try to forge a new future of progress and prosperity for our people.â€
