A group in the Western Region called Ellembelle NDC Communication Outfit is describing the visit of the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Akufo-Addo to Nzemaland as an excursion.
According to the group, the visit of Nana Addo was for him to see the developmental projects undertaken by President John Mahama but not for a political purpose.
"The coming of Nana Addo,NPP Presidential candidate to Nzemaland is not for a political purpose but a site seeing due to the transformation as a result of the massive developmental project under the competent leadership of President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC government", a statement signed by the groups President Joseph Agyekum stated.
Below is the press statement:
*NANA ADDO's VISIT TO NZEMALAND IS AN EXCURSION AND A THREAT TO NZEMA DEVELOPMENT*
The coming of Nana Addo,NPP Presidential candidate to Nzemaland is not for a political purpose but a site seeing due to the transformation as a result of the massive developmental project under the competent leadership of President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC government.
The Nzemaland which was neglected by NPP and Nana Addo for 8years as also manifested in their 2016 manifesto has seen unprecedented infrastructural development and job creation such as Ghana Gas,Quantum, ENI, Elderly care center, Gwiraman community school,Antenatal clinic in Axim Government Hospital,Rehabilitation of Half Assini Government Hospital, Cold Store in Half Assini and the resourcitation of Osagyefo Power Berg at Effasu that the NPP had wanted to relocate it to Tema when the state was experiencing Dumsor,Dumsor in 2007.
The Nzema roads that was neglected by NPP and Nana Addo in their 8 years has seen massive transformation under the dynamic leadership of President John Mahama and the NDC not to talk of Apemanim -Elubo road, Alabokazo - Eikwe - Atuabo Tikobo no 1 road,Axim town roads asphalted, Half Assini roads and the proposed Esiama - Nkroful -Teleku Bokazo Highway.
Moreover we see Nana Addo's coming as a threat and a mere political gimmick, waste of time and indeed irrelevant to the development of entire Nzemaland as a result of the following reasons.
Invariably, Nana Addo engineered his cronies (KOBBY OTCHERE DARKO,HAWA KOOMSON, JOSEPH CUDJOE, KWEKU KWARTENG and KOFI BRAKO) to block the coming into effect the prospect and progress of Atuabo Freeport.
The port which will create over 5000 direct jobs and other subsidiary jobs has been brought to a standstill due to the hatred the NPP has for the Nzemas.
However, the NPP prefer establishing port at James Town, Keta and inland port at Kumasi as an alternative to Atuabo Freeport as stated in their manifesto.
Again, upon carefully studying the NPP manifesto we find it strange and extremely disappointing on grounds that nothing was captured about the prospect of Nzema development.
We therefore ask and challenge the NPP to pick point any employable venture and tangent project in the Nzemaland during their 8yrs tenure.
We also see Nana Addo's posture and demeanor as a threat to the Nzema Youth which is not worthy to be emulated due to his pronouncements such as "ALL DIE BE DIE", YEN AKANFO" etc is a security threat to the coexistence of the Nzema Youth.
Due to the above stated reasons,we see Nana Addo's visit as an excursion and a threat to Nzema development.
We therefore urge Nana Addo to visit our Elderly Care Center constructed under the vibrant leadership of Hon.Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah as part of his excursion.
Thank You!

JOSEPH AGYEKUM
