Punish NPP for denying you representation – Prof Opoku Agyemang tells Likpe voters

The vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, on Thursday urged voters in the Guan Constituency to punish the ruling
party for denying them representation in the Eighth Parliament.
Addressing voters in Likpe in the Guan Constituency to kick start her two-day campaign tour
of the Oti Region, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said voters in the area have an opportunity to vote
out the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for denying them the right of representation.
She said the ruling NPP has caused so much pain and injustice to the people of Santrokofi,
Akpafu, Likpe and Lolobi (SALL) traditional areas, adding the people must respond
appropriately on December 7 when they go to the polls.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang was surprised that the NPP could have the audacity to hoist its flags
and put up its posters in the constituency after unjustifiably denying the people
representation in the present parliament.
“They turned their back against you and denied you representation for four years and all legal
challenges the NDC mounted proved futile. But the time has come, election time has come
and you have the opportunity to make amends”, she said.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said after denying the people of SALL representation in parliament,
the government has also denied the Guan Constituency of developmental projects such as
roads, schools, water and health facilities.
She said as a result of the NPP’s poor performance in government, the party is now sharing
money, food and other inducements to swindle voters.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang urged them to accept the inducements from the government but still
vote massively for NDC presidential candidate, Mr John Dramani Mahama, and the party’s
parliamentary candidates to enable the next NDC government bring development to the
area.
