Residents of Ho, Sokode, Kpeve, Have, Hohoe and surrounding villages in the Volta region did not hesitate to confess their frustration with the Mills-led NDC administration to New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo, when he took his listening tour to their various communities last Thursday.
At Anyinawase, an elder of the community, Fo Divine said �we will no longer put all our eggs in one basket. We are happy that Nana has come here today and we want to assure him that the child who shows respect to his father is shown the same in return.�
At Kpeve, residents told Nana Addo they had been deceived by the National Democratic Congress. One Davi Esi said �all the promises they made to us have not been kept and we are fed up.�
The township of Hohoe was thrown into a frenzy when Nana Addo arrived there. Walking through the principal streets and later the main market and Zongo areas, the NPP flag bearer interacted with many of the people, shaking hands with as many as he could.
A charged youth group drummed their way through the thick crowd to seek audience with Nana. They said: �we the youth in the Volta region will no longer allow ourselves to be fooled. We worked hard for the NDC to make sure Prof Mills won the elections but he has since forgotten about us. We will not repeat the mistakes of the past.�
They assured Nana Addo that they will go round the villages to tell their people to ignore the NDC lies and propaganda and rather vote for the one who says he will introduce free senior high school education.
The third and final day of the NPP flag bearer�s first phase of his listening tour took him to Buem, Jasikan, Biakoye, Worawora, Nkonya and Vakpo where similar sentiments and concerns were brought to his attention.
He also paid visits to the Jasikan College of Education, Bueman SHS and Worawora SHS where he reminded the students of his commitment to providing free senior high school education for the youth and people of Ghana.
The NPP leader has since returned to Accra and will be heading back to the region for the second phase of the tour in the coming weeks.
