The 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has admonished students across the country to be mindful of the choices they make in this year’s elections, and stay clear off voting for another 4-years in high office for President John Mahama.
According to Nana Akufo-Addo, ever since President Mahama assumed office, Ghana’s economy has systematically shrunk, resulting in high levels of unemployment, rising costs of living, widespread hardships and suffering, and the creation of a future of hopelessness for the millions of Ghanaian youth.
To this end, the NPP flagbearer is appealing to students to vote for him and the NPP in this year’s elections, so as to secure their collective future.
Nana Akufo-Addo made this known on Thursday, October 13, 2016, when he addressed thousands of students at the Pentecost University College, as part of his tour of the Anyaa Sowutuom constituency.
“Usually, when people come to speak to you (students), they talk about the future. This is because you are the future. But, I am going to say something a bit different. Every year, since John Dramani Mahama became President, our economy has shrunk, and, this year, we are going to have the slowest growth of our economy for 22 years,” the NPP flagbearer said.
This sad state Ghana currently finds herself in, according to Akufo-Addo, implies “that your ability to walk out of here and get a job is being compromised right now. What I am trying to leave with you is that four more years of John Dramani Mahama will mean you that you have no future to look up to.”
Thus, the NPP flagbearer stressed that, “the responsibility for you (students) is not about tomorrow, it is about today. That, together, all of us will make sure that the threat to our future that Mahama represents is removed in December, once and for all, so we can return our country onto the path of progress and prosperity.”
He continued, “I am saying to you, (this election) is about your future. It is about now. If we continue on the path we are on now, let me repeat it, there will be no future for you to inherit. So the task is a simple one. In peace and in dignity, let’s put Mahama aside, let’s bring Akufo-Addo and let’s chart a new direction for Ghana.”
The NPP flagbearer assured that the direction he is offering the people of Ghana is one which will “concentrate on growing our economy and making sure there are more and more jobs available for the young people of our country. That is the vision which we are working for our country, and it is what we will do when we are in office.”
He, thus, urged all students across the country not to stay at home on December 7, stating that “that day, 7th of December, is indeed about you and your future.”
Whilst in the constituency, Nana Akufo-Addo also visited the Alhaji Station, Sowutuom Last Stop, Anyaa Market and the Ablekuma Tipper Station.

RE: ABDUL RAFIU-SABONGIDA I strongly salute you for your comments. As the saying goes, it's only a ***barred word*** who does NOT change his mind. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE GHANA BETTER. LET US TRY NANA ADDO. VOTE NPP!
JULOR MAHAMA AND HIS NDC STEALING GANG HAVE BEEN IN POWER FOR 8 YEARS AND STOLEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND CEDIS OF GHANA MONEY. IT IS TIME NOW FOR A CHANGE. BIG CHANGE. JULOR MAHAMA MUST GO TO DUBAI AND ENJOY HIS STOLEN MONEY SO THAT WE TRY ANOTHER GHANAIAN TO SEE WHAT HE/SHE CAN DO. NDC ARMED ROBBERS IN SUIT MUST GO AWAY!
@ Ppp have you been sick before? if no then I pray for you to get those sickness that you are prouncing to NANA ADDO to you and from now in name of Satan. May you get it and never get cure for it. Learn sense small
The flagbearer is sick of cancer, his vice has a bladder problems and most of his right hand side men are collapsing. These are the team Npp has. Just look at the team nana Addo is parading. All most all of them are 65 and above. Can you imagine Ghana in the hand of these old men. With so much aches and pains in their bodies how can they deliver. As for frimpong boateng the least said about him the better. He could not even speak at Npp rally and his speech had to be truncated. Just imagine him as the minister of health, people who would go to him would be sick themselves at the sight of him. Npp has old men.
Lets face it. They claim the economy is broke. Yet they want to scrap taxes, no borrowing, no imf, etc. Yet they are promising one this one that,restoring allowances here and there. Any time they asked how all these expenditure would be financed they are found wanting. According to them they will use monies spent on wayome,asfoton etc. Countrymen lets not be deceived.
Great admonition from Nana. It's only right to protect out future and ensure that leaders like Prez. Mahama that compromise the promise of the future is done away with in elections. Thank God for Dec. 7. Ghana shall experience a new breath of growth and prosperity. #Changeiscoming
I have been voting for NDC since 1996, but I want to try Nana Addo this time. The clearly has something to offer and is very passionate about his convictions. He believes in the ability of the Ghanaian to solve his/her own problems. I will try him this year. We should not stick to a political party if our problems remain unsolved. Change we must embrace in 2016.
