COME FOR YOUR STONE – TRADERS TELL NANA

The market women with 'proverbial
stones'
Traders at the Makola, Kantamanto
and Okaishie markets in Accra have
hailed Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-
Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
as 'prophets', as the warnings they
proffered regarding the
consequences of voting for the
National Democratic Congress (NDC)
have all come to pass.
Carrying stones of all shapes and
sizes on their heads, the market
women, particularly, were heard
singing and calling on Nana Akufo-
Addo and Dr. Bawumia to, literally,
“come for their stones” since the era
of John Mahama's “bad governance”
has vindicated the pair.
“Everything Nana Addo said about
the deterioration of life under the
NDC, during the 2012 electioneering
campaign period, has been proven
to be true. We regret voting for the
NDC because they have made life so
unbearable for us,” Ama Serwaa, a
trader said.
According to them, the hardships
imposed on them by the
incompetence of the John Mahama
government has never been
witnessed in this country as every
sector of the country's economy is
in a downward spiral.
They complained of the rising cost
of living, the widespread corruption
which is eating away the very fabric
of national life, no money as well as
rising unemployment. All these,
according to them, are presenting a
bleak and hopeless future for
generations yet to come.
Nana Akufo-Addo, on his part
assured the thousands of market
women that 2016 presented an
opportunity to Ghanaians to vote
the NPP back into office so as to
continue outstanding work done by
the J.A. Kufuor government from
2001 to 2008.
“We will put Ghana back to work. We
will stabilise the cedi; we have done
it before. We will manage the
economy competently; we have done
it before. We will create the
environment for the private sector to
thrive; we have done it before. We
will provide the leadership that will
mobilise the positive energies of the
great majority of Ghanaians,
irrespective of their political
affiliations, to take the bold steps
towards the structural
transformation of our national
economy, which is the way to
lasting prosperity,” Nana Addo
noted.
He continued, “We will improve
significantly the governance of our
nation, we have done it before. I am
strong in my conviction and
confident that we can do it. I know
we are capable. God did not put us
on this rich land to be poor. It is
bad leadership that makes us poor.
