Story: Tim Dzamboe, Ho
THE Ho Polytechnic chapter of the Tertiary Education Students Confederacy (TESCON) of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has commended the government for the initiative to bridge the development gap between the three northern regions and the southern part of the country.
“This is an indication that the government is truly committed to making Ghana a better place for all of us,” the chapter said.
This was contained in a press statement jointly signed by the President, Mr Jones Jid Pekyi, and the Secretary, Mr Moses Aglina and issued in Ho last Wednesday.
The statement said as the 2008 budget had been approved, the Ho Poly chapter wished to congratulate the government on the pragmatic measures taken towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
“With this budget, we are now convinced that, indeed, the future is bright. We believe that the government will continue to develop the human resource base, the economy and social amenities in the country,” the statement said.
It stated that Ghanaians had seen great development under the leadership of President Kufuor and the NPP, adding that retaining the party in power in the 2008 elections was, therefore, a forgone conclusion.
It congratulated the party’s presidential aspirants on the excellent campaign which they had mounted, as they had exhibited decorum by telling Ghanaians that they were believers in democracy, adding that it emphatically signified that the NPP had gone far and beyond the era of declarations.
The statement challenged the aspirants to remain united during and after the congress and rally behind the winner for victory in 2008.
“They should live beyond reproach and put the nation and the party above their individual aspirations to continue the excellent and heroic performance of President Kufuor,” it said.
“We are working hard to dilute the support base of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Volta Region and increase the parliamentary seats in the region,” it stated.
