The director of Elections of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has called on Ghanaians to resist the temptation of voting the New Patriotic Party (NPP) into power.
According to him, the NDC stands for development, thus anytime they are in power, the country experiences tremendous growth in development.
Addressing party supporters at Klagon in the Tema West Constituency last Sunday, where the party’s nominee, Mr James Enu, was introduced to supporters, Mr Ampofo enumerated the numerous projects in the area of roads, education, health, water and education that had been spearheaded by the President Mahama-led administration.
The rally which attracted scores of supporters from various parts of the constituency, including Adjei Kojo, Communities 5 and 3, Sakumono, Lashibi and Spintex road areas, also saw the constituency’s 2016 campaign being launched.
He pointed out that not only was the NDC creating opportunities for the youth, but it had created hundreds of jobs that had improved the lives of every individual across the country.
Infrastructure
The NDC, according to the former minister of local government, had made impacts in the housing sector with the building of the Sakumono Estate and the Tema Community 3 SSNIT Flats, while similar projects had been carried out under the Mahama-led administration.
“What have the NPP been able to achieve in the area of housing during the eight-year rule of the defunct Kufuor administration?” Mr Ofosu Ampofo queried.
“The expansion of infrastructure under the present NDC is aimed at creating an enabling environment for accelerated development,” he pointed out.
He suggested that the completion of the 130-bed International Maritime Hospital which was financed by the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) was a clear indication that the government was committed to addressing challenges in the health sector and ensuring universal access to health for all.
Similarly, he said the Tema motorway roundabout expansion project and the Tema Port expansion projects were being carried out to ensure more opportunities were available to all Ghanaians.
“The vote in 2016 is not just about party slogan, but about who can deliver and take Ghana to the promised land; and I am certain John Mahama is that man who can send us to the promised land,” he stressed.
Mr Ofosu-Ampofo, who lost the Tema West seat in 2012 by some 850 votes to the NPP’s Ms Irene Naa Torshie Addo, urged the supporters not to relent on their efforts and ensure the house-to-house and door-to-door campaign being employed by the party yielded the needed results.
NPP
Taking a swipe at the NPP’s Presidential Candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo, Mr Ofosu-Ampofo suggested that he had managed to divide the party, leading to the suspension of various leaders who had been elected by the party supporters.
“How can we entrust the leadership of the country to the hands of one who could not handle his own party?” he queried.
“We are putting two gentlemen before you, Nana Akufo-Addo and John Mahama. Which of them, when in power, can guarantee you peace?” Mr Ofosu-Ampofo asked amid loud cheers from the teeming supporters.

YOU EAT BUT DON'T GET SATISFIED, YOU DRINK BUT NEVER GET DRUNK. HOW INSATIABLE OFOSU AMPOFO AND HIS NDC GOVERNMENT ARE. THEY ARE NEVER FILLED WITH SQUANDERING OUR MONEY. YOU HAVE LOST. WE WILL VOTE FOR NPP EVEN IF IT IS A MISTAKE. YOU WARNED US IN YEAR 2000 NOT TO VOTE FOR CANDIDATE KUFOUR AND YET YOU ALL TESTIFY TO HIS GOOD WORKS - THE ROADS, NHIS, SCHOOL FEEDING PROJECT,LEAP, THE LIST CAN GO ON AND ON. THE GREATEST MISTAKE GHANAIANS WILL MAKE IS TO VOTE FOR MAHAMA AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY WILL NOT ONLY BE CHOPPING WITH THEIR TWO HANDS AND TWO LEGS. BUT THEIR WHOLE BODY.
Who wants to listen to this adulterous fake elder of the church of pentecost. I lost respect when he started sleeping with Serwah Asamoah of lands and mines, when his wife is struggling with immigration in US.

LOOK AT THAT WORLD CUP FRAUDSTER TOO. U DONT HAVE SHAME. AFTER STEALING FROM THE TAX PAYER YOU ARE HERE TALKING RUBBISH. GOD PUNISH YOU
Ofosu Ampofo paaa, What do you take us for? You've had ur time and we have seen your deeds so ur words will not change anything. you think you can use us to protect your job and ill-gotten wealth again. Seriously are you a church elder? It's because of people like these why I only go to church for thanks-giving services and weddings. Apuuu
A friend says this whenever he's into something that is tough doing but which he knows will end up being beneficial to him, " ye see menya wo ayo ye musuo, nanso saa musuo weyi knoaa dee mepe".
CANT U SEE THE WIND OF CHANGE IS BLOWING EVERYWHERE
the NDC has hijacked almost all TV Stations with various advert using the stolen money.. and paying millions of cedis.. meanwhile we are lacking incubators in our various hospitals.....(especially Okomfo Anokye had 7 incubators but 6 is not functional at the moment n one is serving all... asemoooo
Did I hear this man is an elder in the church of pentecost? The leadership of the curch ,ust call this man to order. He is disgracing the church and the Lord that we serve.
Ofosu Ampofo, we willrather resist the temptation of maintaining NDC in power. It will be a crime to vote for NDC again. Even you Ofosu Ampofo, you will sin against God and Ghanaians if you vote for your NDC. It is because of your disobedience to God and your selfishness that is keeping you in NDC. Ofosu Ampofo if you will be sincere to yourself as a Christian you know NDC has failed to manage the economy well. For this coming election anybody who votes for NDC must go for confession.
