Drobo (B/A), Sept.06, GNA- Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, NPP Flagbearer, at the weekend reiterated the party's commitment to play within the confines of the game to ensure that peace prevails in the country before, during and after the elections. He advised NPP supporters and activists not to allow themselves to be used to foment trouble by indulging in unhealthy political debates and arguments with opponents, as such acts have the potential to create violence and tension.
"We don't want bloodshed in this country, you must strive to conduct yourselves properly ahead of the elections, in order to maintain the peace and unity in the country, because we are one people with a common destiny," the Flagbearer stressed.
Nana Akufo-Addo was addressing a rally at Drobo, capital of Jaman South District of Brong-Ahafo as part of his seven-day tour of the region.
He dismissed claims by some political opponents that the NPP was planning to rig the December election.
"It is now very clear that these people have come to terms with the possibility of losing the elections and would therefore resort to baseless allegations because they have nothing to tell the good people of Ghana", he added.
The Flagbearer appealed to the people of Drobo to vote massively for the party, so it could continue with the good policies initiated under President Kufuor and gave assurance that the area would enjoy its fair share of the national cake when elected as President. He promised to put a system of education in place that would ensure that both the rich and poor have equal access to education and would remove all restrictions in the school feeding programme to cover all schools.
Nana Akufo-Addo stated that, it was his dream to eliminate illiteracy in the country the next decade, hence the promise to extend free education to senior high schools.
Earlier, Mr. Alan Kyeremanten, Madam Grace Omaboe and Madam Anna Nyamekye and some other party stalwarts took turns to address the rally. The flagbearer and his entourage were given a tumultuous welcome with the 'Kangaroo dance' by the people in the towns he visited and paid courtesy calls on the chiefs.
The towns included Gonasua, Japeikrom, Dwenem, Jejemireja, Amasu and Nkrankwanta.
