The
CPP Flag-bearer said the Conservatives like to protect
individual and private interests while the Progressives like
to protect the interest and the welfare of the people.
"If the NPP is more like the Republicans, the CPP is more
like the Democrats. Therefore, Mr. Akuffo-Addo is talking
like Mr. McCain while I, Papa Kwesi Nduom, am talking like
Barack Obama," he said.
He said when the CPP campaign talks about "Edwumawura," the
party simply means the CPP's tradition of job creation
-bringing jobs to Ghanaians by giving soft loans to the
private sector, using tax goods and services produced in
Ghana have a market in Ghana".
Dr. Nduom maintained that the CPP believes in
self-determination and will therefore "use government's
purchasing power to ensure that we eat what we grow and use
what we produce here in Ghana".
"It is for this reason that I will challenge Apostle Safo,
the Suame Industrial Centre ,and others to produce the
official vehicle to be used by me as agenda to bridge the
development gap between the North and the South," he added.
He stressed that the North-South gap is widening and the
children of the North keep pouring into the cities down
south for non¬existent opportunities and into a life of
exploitation as Kayayei.
The CPP, he added, has a very good message for the people of
Ghana that is why all over the country, the people listen to
the message of "Edumawursa" and respond with "Yeresesamu."
He reminded the youth, particularly, that everything
possible is being done to build a new CPP to become a
strong, independent political party that is an alternative
to other political parties in the country.
He, therefore, called on all who want an alternative to the
NDC and the NPP to support the CPP financially, with their
time and organise the people to support any party other than
the Nkrumaist Convention People's Party.
Sounding Biblical, Dr. Ndoum reiterated that "for
everything, there is a season; and a time for every purpose
under Heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time
to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a
time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time
for peace."
This, according to him, is the season for the re-birth of
the CPP.
"This is the time for the CPP to come to power once again,
and this is the time for the "Yeresesamu," Dr. Papa Kwesi
Nduom".
As to whether, CPP can win in 2008 elections, he said over
the past six weeks, there have been a number of polls
organised by newspapers, radio stations and institutes that
are politically-biased. He said whilst win the December 7,
2008 elections with more than 50% of the NDC of the vote,
other tip the NDC.
Giving 10 "good reasons" why the CPP will be a winning party
this year, Dr. Nduom cited Prestea-Huni Valley constituency,
Westem Region, where he said Lawyer T. Dari has organised to
win the Parliamentary seat for the CPP; Akropong
constituency, Eastem Region ,where a young man, Mr.Augustus
Akonnor has done a fantastic job to energize the CPP there;
Upper Denkyira East, Central region, where a businessman,
Yaw Asamoah, has made the CPP a popular party and Pusiga,
Upper East region, where a another young man called Daniel
Abugbila, is working wonders and winning votes.
He added Akrofuom, Ashanti Region, where anther young named
Anthony Kwakye and Tema East ,Greater Accra, where a hard
working Richter Amarteifio will retum the CPP to glory.
"All in all, he said, 100 of them so far, we are confident
we have a chance to get the CPP elected to go to
Parliament," he said.
