Atta Mills Blasts NPP Government

Former Vice President, Professor John Evans Attah Mills has lashed out at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government saying that its failure to deliver on its campaign promises has vindicated the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) position that governance is not based on wishful thinking. “The electorate have expressed disappointment about the many unfulfilled promises by the government and are waiting patiently for the next general elections to demonstrate the power of the thumb."

"I only pray that what is happening with the rule of the NPP will not make the people of Ghana lose faith in politicians."

Prof. Mills who is seeking the flagbearership position of the NDC said at a press soiree in Accra lauded the Ghanaian media for their contributions to the deepening of democracy in the country.

He mentioned in particular the publicity given to his rival, Dr Kwesi Botchwey and him over the last three months and for highlighting the visions, ideas and aims of the NDC. Prof Mills said his vision is to promote unity among the rank and file of the party and to prepare it adequately to take back power in 2004.
