By Richard Ahiagbah, the Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has encouraged the people of the Volta Region to support his party for accelerated development.
He stated that the NPP, under the future leadership of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, will guarantee that the Volta Region enjoys a fair distribution of national development, similar to what was experienced during the Kufuor and Akufo-Addo administrations.
“The NPP’s proposition for the Volta Region is an electoral partnership to develop the region. To this end, we appeal to Voltarians to support the NPP in winning the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections and implement its Bold Solutions for Jobs and Business.
“The outcome for the Volta Region in this proposition is accelerated regional development. The considerable investment of the Akufo-Bawumia Administration in the region is a herald of mammoth growth when Dr. Bawumia becomes President”, he said at a press engagement in Ho.
Ahiagbah stated that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), which has consistently received the majority of votes from the region in general elections, has failed to value that support.
He noted that this is reflected in the region’s underdeveloped condition, which has driven many young people to seek opportunities in other parts of the country due to a lack of jobs.
“The NDC’s hold on the Volta Region is affecting not only its development but also the political evolution of its people. The only way to end this abuse is for us to vote against the NDC on 7th December to jolt them out of their abusive slumber to rebirth taking place in the Volta Region”, he said.
Mr. Ahiagbah acknowledged the growing support for the NPP in the region, noting that it is primarily driven by the middle class and youth who see hope within the party.
He emphasized that the next government under Dr. Bawumia would ensure that young people from the region have better access to employment opportunities, reducing the need to travel to other cities in search of greener pastures.
He highlighted commitments such as providing ICT skills training for one million individuals to help them secure remote jobs and establishing free zone enclaves, among other policies, as initiatives that would directly benefit the youth in the Volta Region.
“The next NPP government plans to establish strategic Free Zone enclaves to boost exports and jobs, among other things. By including Aflao as one of the enclaves, the Volta Region will benefit from that policy idea. A Free Zone enclave in the region will create jobs to curb the exodus of our youth from the region, boost the region’s economy, and drive secondary and tertiary investment opportunities
to leverage the industry and ingenuity of the good people of the Volta Region.”
“NPP is grateful to the Volta Region for the growing support from the electorate. The next NPP government, led by Dr. Bawumia, will intensify investments in the Volta Region. The youth of this region will benefit particularly from Bawumia’s agenda to train 1 million youth in IT skills to take advantage of global job opportunities.
“This is a massive opportunity for the youth to access IT and IT-related employment right here in Ho, Ziavi, Hohoe, Ave Dakpa, Keta, Aflao, and other towns. This is possible only if we vote for the NPP.”, he stressed.
“These and many more are possibilities when Volta votes for Dr. Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidates on 7th December”, he stressed.
