He said: “I said to myself and to whoever cared to hear, Ghana has come of age; we have thrown off the ethnic politics or accusations thereof that has dogged our politics for so many years.

"Young people are deciding to vote based on issues. I pray that those two young men and others like them around the country remain steadfast in their determination to vote to secure a bright future."

In concluding, Nana Akufo-Addo assured the Chiefs that the NPP will continue to work to gain the trust and confidence of the people of the Volta Region, and appealed to them and residents of the region to look at the party with some favour, adding that “under the Kufuor administration we demonstrated our goodwill by not discriminating against those who did not vote for us.”

He also assured the Chiefs that he will not abandon projects started by President John Mahama if he is elected as president.

“One of the tragedies of this nation is the long list of abandoned projects dotted around this country; we have committed ourselves to tackling this disgraceful phenomenon through the National Asset Protection Project to ensure the continuity of projects,” he said.

We see it as part of our national commitment to improve upon the lives of the people.”
