The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo-Addo has assured Ghanaians that when given the mandate to serve in January 2017, he is coming to power to focus solely on the improvement of the wellbeing of citizens and will not line his pockets with the people’s money.

Interacting with the Sarkin Zongo, Chief Issah Wanzam, and residents of Gaskia Zongo, the NPP flagbearer noted that "I am not seeking the high office of this land because I want to steal your money and line my pockets with the nation’s resources. I am not coming into office for the well-being of my wife and my family. No! I am coming to do a job for Ghana and for Ghanaians. Have confidence in me, and vote for me this year, because I will not disappoint you."

Nana Addo reaffirmed his commitment to establishing a Zongo Development Fund aimed at solving the basic infrastructure problems existing in Zongo communities across the country.

He further assured the youth in the area of massive employment opportunities when he is voted into power.

"What is needed in Ghana now is a President who will work to bring jobs to the teeming masses of unemployed youth, some of whom are resident here. This is what Nana Akufo-Addo is going to do when you elect him as President," he said.

The 2016 presidential candidate was accompanied on his tour by the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for the constituency, Ebenezer Nartey; Policy Advisor, Boakye Agyarko; Laud Commey of the Office of the Flagbearer; Alfred Boye, acting NPP Greater Accra Regional chairman; Adjei Sowah, NPP Greater Accra Regional Secretary; Campaign Aides, Musah Iddrisu Superior and Fatimatu Abubakar, amongst others.
