An association of NPP youth groups called the Northern Youth for Nana Akufo-Addo
(NOYONAA) representing the three northern regions, has called on the youth in the
regions not to allow themselves to be used by the ruling National Democratic
Congress for their political gains.
In a statement signed by the National Coordinator, Rauf Abdallah, the Youth Group
said their tour of the northern regions revealed how some agents of the ruling party
are moving from one place to the other “polluting the minds of the people against
the NPP.”
“We urge the people, especially the youth in the three Northern Regions not to allow
themselves to be swayed by the fake promises of the NDC,” Mr. Abdallah said.
Despite the divide and rule strategy used by the NDC in the three northern regions,
NOYONAA national coordinator said, “it was heartwarming that majority of the people
have now realized how untruth the NDC is…They now know how the NDC has taken them
for granted…”
Mr. Rauf Abdallah also revealed how more than a thousand youth in the three northern
region have defected from the NDC to the NPP.
“The NDC youth themselves have been disappointed, they feel embarrassed to campaign
for their party and they will soon hold a press conference to announce their
defection.”
Notwithstanding what he described as “anger the people have for the NDC government”,
Mr. Abdallah said the 2012 General Elections would depend on the collective efforts
of the youth.
He urged the youth to remain committed and dedicated to the course of the NPP
especially as the flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo, adding that, the Youth would be the
greatest beneficiaries of his Presidency when elected come December 2012.
NOYANAA tasked the Northern Regional Youth Wing of the Party to ensure that they
counter and beat the NDCs electioneering schemes by especially ensuring that they
turn out massively to register and also protect the process and the ballots on
Election Day emphasizing that the NDCs support in the Northern Region was not cast
in iron or steel and that with good work and the appropriate strategies, the Region
would be won by the NPP and the Presidency would be secured for Nana Akufo-Addo
handsomely.
NOYONAA has a membership of over thirty thousand (30,000) in the three northern
regions.
