The Presidential Candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Professor John Evans Atta Mills is confident of being the first occupant of the yet to be completed seat of government, the Flagstaff house.
Having embarked on an extensive campaign across the length and breadth of the country and listened to the concerns of the people, he believes that the good people of Ghana would give him the opportunity to salvage them from their woes.
He has therefore expressed the hope that Ghanaians would translate their sufferings into votes for the NDC to take over the reigns of this country.
Prof. Mills made these comments when a Ghanaian Resident in the United Kingdom, Horace Nii Ayi Ankrah called on him at his Kuku Hill office, in Osu.
Mr. Ankrah, who was accompanied by the Chairman of the UK and Ireland branch of the NDC, Joe Gans Lartey was there to donate vehicles and computers worth GH¢20,000 (¢200million) to Prof. Mills, to support his campaign.
Whilst admitting that the road to the Flagstaff will be keen, the NDC Presidential Candidate noted that he would emerge victorious at the end of the last count.
According to him, everything points to the fact that Ghanaians are fed up with President Kufuor and his New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, since according to him they have not been able to fulfil the numerous promises they made to the electorate prior to assumption of office. Prof. Mills thanked his benefactor for the kind gesture which could not have come at a better time, than when the party needed to reach out to people with their message.
He called on other individuals and corporate entities to emilate the example of Mr. Ankrah and help the NDC to win power again.
On his part, Mr Ankrah, who has also opted to sponsor the walk of an NDC supporter from the Western region to Accra, expressed optimism that his contribution would go a long way to bring the much-awaited victory to the party.
He therefore urged other supporters of the party to come out of their shells, not only to campaign but also fund the party’s campaign, stressing that this time round the NDC was leaving no stone unturned in their quest to assume the reigns of government.
Considering the work done so far, the Chairman of the UK branch of the party, Mr Gans Lartey noted that there was no way that power could slip through the fingers of the party, indicating that the signs are clearly written on the wall.
Present were party kingpins like Alex Segbefia and Koku Anyidoho, Communications Director of Prof. Mills’ campaign team.
