NPP Treasurer Rubbishes NDC Effusions Over Wulensi Defeat

THE NATIONAL treasurer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. John Kwame Boadu, has described the allegations perpetuated by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as a mark of a dying horse.

"The winning of the Wulensi by-election parliamentary seat, has really sent the signals to the dying NDC and has sent them into doldrums of daze and confusion", adding that as a result of being in a state of confusion, the NDC is bent on orchestrating unguided statements.

Mr. Boadu who was reacting to the allegations made by the NDC, told the Chronicle in an interview that it was unfortunate and funny to note that the NDC is attributing their loss of the Wulensi seat to the so called rigging machinery and vote buying of the NPP.

According to him, " If buying of votes will win the elections with no regards to the developmental projects for the benefits, not only for the people in the area, but also to the nation at large, then the NDC would have won the Ablekuma Central by-election held in 1988 and the 2000 general elections.

For the issue of the NPP using its incumbency to exploit the electorate, Mr. Boadu said, the NDC should carefully revise their faculty of thinking for the better.

Reminding the NDC of their campaign messages, the treasurer said, if the NDC will be faithful to their campaign messages they would not have contested.

Quoting the NDC campaign messages, he said, " it is difficult to vote for an opposition party who has nothing to offer."

When he was quizzed about the forth-coming Navrongo Central by-election slated for March 25, this year, Boadu said the NPP is winning hands down.

He said, the winning people of Navrongo having tested and analyzed the philosophy of the NPP for only two years, and compared it to the predecessors, have resorted to doing contrary by voting massively for a party which is transparent, accountable to the people and is concerned about the plight of the citizens.

"We have no doubt in our minds that the people of Navrongo Central will definitely choose the NPP candidate as the MP for the area to crown the untiring efforts of the late John Achiluwor," adding that it behoves on the NPP party to win the by-election hands down.

According to Boadu, even though the NPP mourns with the family of the late MP and the people of Navrongo, he entreats the electorate to treat this election with a sense of decorum and vote massively for the party to ensure that the best legacy of development left by the late MP is not thwarted.
