“As part of the celebration we decided to come out to clean up the beach because that is the Hallmark of NDC ,we are for community development that is what our founder used to do.We used to see him cleaning communities , gutters , working with the people .So today I decided to organize the people so that we clean the market as you are witnessing. so we have come out stronger ” .
The MP urged supporters of the party to unite and work hard for the NDC to rescue the country from the shackles of economic mismanagement which has afflicted hardship on Ghanaians.
“so my admonishing to the people is to get united so that we fight the good course of NDC so we deliver this country from the wicked hands of the ruling government. Our people needs us ,I know the entire Ghanaian populace is looking up to us to deliver them from the work of this underdevelopment and hardship we are facing in the economy in upper manya”.
