'DON'T USE FOUL LANGUAGE'

                                                

    

                                                      Hon. Kwadwo Adjei Darko 

Former Minister of Local Government and Rural Government under the Kufuor administration, Kwadwo Adjei Darko, has called on members of the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) not to use abusive language in their campaigns.

This, according to him, would not win votes for the party in the 2012 General Election.
Mr. Adjei Darko noted that political insults is not the tradition of the NPP and therefore called on TESCON not to indulge in it but rather discuss issues that affect the ordinary Ghanaian.
The former minister made this appeal at the launch of the Brong Ahafo regional branch of TESCON alumni in Sunyani.
“The NDC always capitalizes on the ignorance of people, they always say they go to the villages to do their campaign, only God knows the type of campaign they do in these villages. They go to these places to lie,” he intimated.
Mr. Adjei Darko added: “It is about time we intensified our education and tell Ghanaians why NPP must come back. As TESCON alumni, please take up the mantle to work harder to ensure that we rescue Ghanaians from this hardship.”
He also remarked that the NDC has equated criticism with abuse and advised them not to be drawn into their game.
He said the NDC could not mention a single policy they have implemented since they assumed office three years ago.
The former minister called on members of the NPP not to give “breathing space” to the NDC to go about lying.
The former Member of Parliament for the Sunyani East Constituency swore the executives of the association into office with Stephen Opuni as the President.
Brong Ahafo Regional Communication Director of the NPP, Kofi Boateng, said the party is mapping out good and concrete strategies to maintain the 15 seats it has in the region and is equally working harder to capture more seats.
The NPP, he insisted, is not going to rest on its oars but work with all groups in the party to have a convincing victory in the 2012 General Elections.
Other NPP stalwarts who attended the programme included the aspiring candidate for the Tano North Constituency, Freda Prempeh, a leading member of the party, Susana Asante and members of Nana Addo for President (NAFOP), members of TESCON Sunyani Polytechnic and TESCON Sunyani Nursing Training College.
