Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto
Delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Western North Region have pledged to reward presidential aspirant Dr. Owusu Afriyie for making a positive impact in their lives.
The delegates are made up of Polling Station Executives, Electoral Area Coordinators, Constituency Executives and Regional Executives drawn from Aowin, Suaman, Bibiani-Anhwiaso Bekwai, Sefwi Wiaso, Sefwi Akontombra, Juaboso, Bodi, Bia West, and Bia East constituencies.
According to them, the impact of the government’s flagship project, Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ), on their lives as well as smallholder farmers in the region, was so incredible that poverty levels in the region have drastically reduced.
They are also of the view that Dr. Akoto’s contribution to the party in the region is unmatched, hence it was proper to appreciate him with their votes during the upcoming Super Delegates Conference on August 26, 2023.
The delegates made the pledge when they paid a courtesy call on Dr. Akoto at his Kumasi residence last Saturday.
Deepened ties
In an interview with the media, a former Deputy Western Regional of the NPP, Juliana Aidoo, referred to the support the presidential hopeful had offered the party.
According to her, Dr. Akoto’s ties with the party in Western Region North even deepened when he was the Minister of Food and Agriculture.
“He has been so supportive of the party. Under his watch as Minister for Food and Agriculture, he transformed so many lives. Where we have gotten to as a party and a country, we need a practically oriented person to turn things around. Dr Akoto has demonstrated this,” she said.
Ms Aidoo continued, “that is why all of us have endorsed him and pledged to work tirelessly to get more delegates to vote for him. Let no one cross his path. Dr. Afriyie Akoto is the only candidate who perfectly understands the structures of the party and can change things around for the betterment of all.”
In her view, Dr. Akoto is the only candidate who practically possesses the means to turn around the fortunes of the UP tradition and the Ghanaian economy around and therefore urged all to rally around Dr. Afriyie Akoto to save the NPP and the Ghanaian economy.
