Nana Akufo-Addo, however, condemned the politics of tribalism and ethnicity being waged continuously by President John Mahama in his campaign in the North, with some days to the conduct of the December 7 elections.

President Mahama while campaigning at Lawra in the Upper West Region, said the NPP will not allow Dr. Bawumia to be their flagbearer because the party is largely not in support of northerners taking up such positions.

“Sometimes I feel sad when I see some of our northern brothers running and also doing this. They will use you and dump you. Let anything happen today and let our brother Bawumia say he is standing for president in NPP. They will never give it to him I can assure you,” he added.
“I fought Acheampong’s Union Government. Acheampong was an Ashanti, but it didn’t make any difference to me. I thought the Union Government was a bad idea and I opposed it. I opposed PNDC under Rawlings, who is Ewe, because I thought military government is not good for Ghana. I am tribal blind, I am colour blind. It is Ghana which is my interest,” he added.
He assured the gathering that the ‘new Ghana’ under his leadership will be one of a “united Ghana, where all the people of Ghana will be together as one indissoluble link. We don’t want a situation where tribe is set tribe, North is set against South. That is the politics of yesterday. That is the politics of reaction.

“We are moving forward into a new destiny, a destiny which has a united Ghana being able to afford a good standard of living for all Ghanaians. We are going to build a new civilization, a new Ghanaian civilization which is going to be the light of Africa and the wonder of the world.
“We, here in Ghana, are capable of it. Our destiny, the destiny of the Black Star, beckons us, as we try to forge a new future of progress and prosperity for our people,” he concluded.
