Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on Ghanaians to reject the politics of tribalism and ethnicity.
He said Ghanaians were made up of several ethnic groups who had the liberty of association and therefore could belong to any political party and not be coerced into one.
Nana Akufo Addo, said this at a well attended regional rally of the NPP in Tamale last weekend, during the final leg of his campaign tour of the Northern Region.
"Don't allow anybody to bring division between us by preaching tribal politics," Nana said.
He said if the NPP administration had had the 19 years uninterrupted rule of the PNDC/NDC it would have transformed the country into a highly industrialized and prosperous one.
He urged Ghanaians not to hand over the destiny of the country once again into the hands of incompetent rulers.
Nana Akufo Addo said the NDC had resorted to violence, after all their politics of lies and deceit had failed, and called on NPP supporters to remain calm and not be provoked.
Nana Akufo Addo entreated the electorate to come out on December 7 to vote massively for the NPP to continue with its good works.
Mr. Alan Kyeremateng, a leading member of the party, said a US$60million groundnut processing factory is to be built at Buipe in the Central Gonja District and about 50,000 groundnut farmers would be needed to feed the factory, adding that this would bring a lot of employment to the youth in the three northern regions.
