Ghanaians urged to put behind acrimonies of 2008 election

Winneba Junction (C/R), Jan 8, GNA - Mr Samuel Mintah, Chairman of the Central Regional Disciplinary Committee of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has appealed to Ghanaians to put behind them acrimonies of the electioneering campaign and support the new government to deliver.

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency on Tuesday Mr Mintah said since President John Atta Mills had promised to be a father to everybody it was important for the citizens to do away with partisanship and help him to implement his programmes. He appealed to chiefs and opinion leaders to rekindle communal spirit since the government alone could not provide the needs of the people.

Mr Mintah congratulated Prof. Mills for winning the 2008 presidential election and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party for putting up a gallant fight. He urged Ghanaians, especially supporters of NDC, to constantly remind the President about the promises he made to the people during the electioneering campaign to guide him to deliver on them.
