Rawlings urges Ghanaians to liberate themselves

Winneba, December 26, GNA - Former President Jerry John Rawlings on Friday appealed to Ghanaians to vote massively for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on December 28 to liberate themselves from bad governance and economic hardship.

He said when the NDC was in power Ghanaians could educate their children from junior secondary school to the tertiary level but now only a few rich people could send their children to the university. The Former President was addressing a well-attended NDC rally in Winneba on Friday.

He said now that Ghanaians had tasted both the NPP and NDC and had seen that the NDC was better than NPP, they should turn out in their numbers and vote for the NDC.

He said the NPP had failed Ghanaians and as a result they were looking for a change, so any attempt at rigging must be avoided. Former President Rawlings urged Ghanaians to be extra vigilant and courageous and to vote for Professor John Evans Atta Mills to lead the country.

Mr Mike Allan Hammah, MP-elect for Effutu, thanked the people for electing him and pledged that he would not disappoint them. Earlier, the Former President had joined NDC supporters and party activists in a keep-fit exercise.
