The Council of Elders and the National Executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Zongo Caucus has rallied Zongo communities to vote massively on December 7 to retain President John Dramani Mahama in power.
This, they said, President Mahama was the only candidate who can sustain the nation on the path of progress and development.
Speaking to Zongo Communities at Adeiso, Asuokaw, Asamankese and in the Upper and Lower West Akim Districts and in Akyem Oda Municipality of the Eastern Region, Mrs Mavis Ama Frimpong-Gati, Eastern Regional Minister said the Government of President Mahama has done it all for Ghanaians.
She said the problems of basic facilities such as electricity, health, water and sanitation and educational infrastructure have covered more than half of the country by President Mahama.
Mrs Frimpong-Gati said President Mahama’s love, compassion and respect for people living in zongo communities was an indication of making every citizenry equal.
She appealed with the people not to listen to the lies of the New Patriotic Party and advise them to come out in their numbers on Election Day and vote massively for the NDC.
Alhaji Shamsu Kwakwa, a member of the NDC National Campaign Committee who led the delegation indicated that a lot had been achieved by the government of President Mahama and expressed optimism that the people would give him another four-year term.
He used the occasion to introduce the party’s parliamentary candidates for Upper West Akim, Mr Derek Ohene Assifo Bekoe who is also the District Chief Executive and Shirley Naana Osei-Ampem, Lower West Akim.
Alhaji Shamsu Kwakwa urged supporters of the NDC to avoid complacency and accept to work hard and with total commitment to reach out to every voter in their electoral areas.
“We in the leadership of the Zongo Caucus go from house-to-house to help the people to appreciate the good things done by the Mahama Administration to ensure resounding victory in both the presidential and parliamentary elections.”
Alhaji Shamsu Kwakwa highlighted the strong and admirable leadership qualities of the President and the NDC’s team of parliamentary candidates, describing them as “assets” to both the party and the nation and called for the people to elect them to represent them in parliament.
He said the incoming Members of Parliament assure them of more development and the completion of the various projects started in the area.
Alhaji Yussif Captain, Chairman of the Zongo Caucus Council of Elders said the promises made by President Mahama during his first term had been fulfilled and that the promises include the completion of the first phase of the Tamale International Airport and the lifting of the Pilgrims from the Northern Zone at the airport direct to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the construction of the Community Day Senior High Schools.
He said the projects also included: the expansion of the Tema and Takoradi harbours, the Kwame Nkrumah Circle and Kasoa interchanges, the Eastern Corridor Roads, Regional and District hospitals and the construction of Ho, upgrading of Kumasi and expansion of Kotoka International airports.
Alhaji Mohammed Aremeyaw, National Coordinator of the Zongo Caucus popularly known as “Coolie Younger” said President Mahama has offered and will every year offer same full scholarship to 80 female Muslims to study Medicine in Cuba to avert the uncomfortability of Christian male doctors treating female Muslims.
According to him, this has never happen in the history of any Government in the country and that the commitment towards the development of Muslims and Zongo communities is imbedded in the heart of President Mahama.
The Eastern Regional Women's Organizer, Madam Evelyn Korang said the father of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) signed the area compliance document to drive away zongo tribes in the country.
She said the target was to completely takes away every non Ghanaian tribe and that this will be repeated if the NPP get the nod to rule the country under Nana Addo.
Mr Bekoe said: “As DCE and credited with initiating a number of projects in the constituency, including roads, extension of electricity, school structures and water facilities.”
He announced that a number of roads including Adeiso town roads had been awarded on contract to open up the area.
The zongo caucus moves with all zongo tribes in their campaign team who speaks all the languages for the people to understand the real achievements President Mahama has chalked.

These zongos are not serious. They have John Mahama who has impoverished them and yet they follow him blindly. Chopping all the cash meant for SADA. I suggest they look up to Alhaji Dr.Bawumia who is in fact a muslim and of great intelligence. All kids in the Zongo should look up to Bawumia who with his brains is making it in life as a Muslim. Ndc is not good for zongos, especially Mahama.
