December 7 Election: NPP lacks commitment towards developing Volta Region – NDC Regional Chairman

31 Oct December 7 Election: NPP lacks commitment towards developing Volta Region – NDC Regional Chairman

The Volta Regional Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Mawutor Agbavitor has urged people of the region not to allow themselves to be swayed by promises being made by Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Addressing a press conference in Ho, he indicated that, their opponents, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has never been committed to the development of the Volta Region -citing several promises they made to the people of the Volta Region in recent times but failed to fulfill.

This comes after Dr Bawumia’s five-day tour of the Volta Region, which ended on Thursday, 24 October, 2024.

“Let me start by stating that Alhaji Bawumia has, as typical of him, failed to offer any solid, actionable message or concrete plans tailored to the expectations of the people of the Volta Region. This is in stark contrast to former President John Dramani Mahama, who has consistently demonstrated his commitment to the people of this region.”

“Featuring in H.E John Mahama’s vision, he has laid out a comprehensive plan that includes the revitalization of the Juapong Textiles Factory, the establishment of satellite UHAS campuses in Keta and Battor, the development of the Keta-Denu-Ho and Eastern Corridor roads, and the provision of essential infrastructure like water supply, a military hospital, a quaternary hospital, and a modern market in Aflao,” Mr Agbavitor added.

He stressed that promises made by the NDC Flagbearer are practical projects, specifically aimed at improving the lives of the people in the Volta Region.

He went further to urge voters in the region to ignore the NPP and Dr Bawumia.

“Alhaji Bawumia has given no such assurance. He made a vague promise to construct a sea defense wall in Ketu South, yet this critical project is notably absent from his party’s manifesto. If Alhaji Bawumia were genuinely committed to protecting our coastal communities from tidal waves, he would have ensured this project was prioritized.”

“Alhaji Bawumia’s indifference to the plight of tidal wave victims is evident; he has never shown up to offer comfort to those affected. Their actions reveal a troubling hypocrisy; they attempt to court our support but consistently show contempt toward our people and sufferings.”

Mr Agbavitor is further assuring people of the Volta Region that the NDC and John Dramani remain committed to the development of the region and urged them to vote massively for the party on December 7.

With barely thirty-seven days to the December polls, the NDC is not letting things to chance in the Volta Region as the NPP on the other hand is working relentlessly to better their gains in the region.
