The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is likely to lose the little votes it has been enjoying in the Volta Region because of the numerous infrastructure projects by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia has said.
The NPP, since the year 2,000 has steadily garnered over 100, 000 votes in the northern part of the Volta region, the region established as the stronghold for the NDC.
But in an interview on Asempa FM last week, Asiedu Nketia otherwise known as General Mosquito said the NDC is bent on stopping the trend.
He was responding to an assertion by the NPP that the NDC always abandoned the Volta region in terms of infrastructure after voting for them massively to get into power.
According to him, their allegations do not support the fact on the grounds which is the ongoing projects, including the eastern corridor road, the University of Health and Allied Sciences, educational infrastructure, an airport and many other developmental projects.
Singling the eastern corridor road out of the ‘numerous projects’, he observed that its completion will be a major attempt to spread the business opportunities concerning international trade across the country evenly.
He also pointed out that it will reduce traffic congestion on the other international roads in the country and boost economic activities in the Volta region.
That, he said, is rapidly transforming the region, and thus urged people to discard contradictory reports emerging from the NPP that the NDC was losing grip of its strong hold.
"If they think we have done nothing to develop the place, they should wait and see the vote we gather from there in the upcoming elections", Gen Mosquito stated, believing that projects Voltarians have seen under this government will be turned into votes.
He said what Voltarians are seeing with regards to developmental projects is unprecedented, touting that no other government can compare with President John Dramani Mahama.

Hahahaaaa! Not this time. No way! We need more than tricks from NDC. We also need part of the national cake. We don't care about NDC again, because, you have taken us for granted for far too long. No tribalism , no nepotism. NDC is creating confusion between we Voltarians and Ashantis, Gas and Ashantis. We inter marry ourselves , travel length and breath of Ghana as citizens. Please, let us leave tribalism out of the elections and face reality. NDC has failed us big time. Other tribes are all Ghanaians. Asiedu is goofing.

You think we are ***barred word*** eh? 4 years after university I am still relying on my 65 year old lady for survival and Asiedu Nketia says what? Come to Agotime and tell my mother this n-o-n sense. We are not ***barred word***.
Some Political Generals will collapse after the declaration of results from the Volta Region... We are called VOLTA REGION and not "VOLTER REGION" as some political party want us to be known and called.
PLEASE GET SERIOUS,POLITICS IS NOT PAL WIN DRINKING.I DONT KNOW WHO MADE THIS VILLAGE HEAD MASTER SECRETARY/
How do you guarantee the votes you are projecting since you were begging them to vote for you despite your failure?you people know you've taken them for granted and they made it clear to you not this time on placards and their reception to you which made you to beg and your president to end his campaign tour with an excuse he had something to do urgently in Accra and also tired of the campaign. Your so called Oldman is as strong as a fiddle and his mind working good and the youth love him and believe in him. The youth trust him and know it is better to rely on your father for a better future than a brother or uncle. A father full of wisdom will give you a good and better future because he has a vision,he knows the world and knows how to direct you to a successful future,unlike an uncle or brother who will think first of himself his wives and children and even fiends and cronies. It is better to trust your father or grandparents than an uncle or brother. Asiedu Nketia Nana b3ba,Aben b3bom
General is living in his dreamland. He will receive the shock of his life. after all he has no campaign message except unintelligent propaganda.
Asiedu Nketiah stop your fo*lishness and get serious on government business,don't insult the intelligence of the people,are you trying to say the chiefs lied to Ghanaians of lack of development in their area? Come on! give a little respect to them,you insulted their own JJ Rawlings who founded this party you are enjoying from and you called JJ a dog you have chained,you said to the whole world if JJ want's to be part of the party ndc he founded he needs to write an application something you've never apologized and look at what you telling his people? I wish the Volta region punishes this crop of arrogant ndc government by voting them out to show solidarity to President Rawlings.
