VOLTA NDC YOUTH DEFECT TO NPP

Some disappointed youth of the National Democratic Congress in the Volta region have resolved to cross carpet to the opposition New Patriotic Party following what they described as the government’s failure to better the lives of the citizenry.

The frustrated members of the ruling NDC have registered their displeasure over what they described as the unbearable economic conditions Ghanaians are facing and blamed the ruling NDC for the country’s woes.

Robert Teteyfio Adjase   the leader of the group that call itself ‘’disappointed NDC Youth’’ said Ghanaians can only enjoy the social interventions by the NPP which they [the NDC members] initially criticized. He said the ruling NDC outwardly  failed to sustain and improve on these laudable interventions  such as the Metro Mass Transport, the National Health Insurance, School Feeding Project just to mention a few. This he however said has compelled the group to see the NPP as the surest bet to bring smiles to the people of the Volta region and the country as a whole.

‘’I have been following NDC for close to 25 years championing the course of a better Ghana. The Ghana we claimed we are trying to better, the Ghana is asleep; deeply asleep nothing is going nothing is coming. Look at even Volta region that we call the strong hold of the NDC; no work, no developemt, the youth are just suffering.’’ Robert Teteyfio Adjase said.

He added ‘’the programs that NPP brought those days and we were criticizing them are now helping the people. Instead of sustaining and improving those interventions we are rather killing them’’.

The group has since began a campaign and mounted a banner hanged at one of the major road intersections in the town, with the inscription “Disappointed Youth of NDC Crossing Over to NPP”. They hope to coax other members of the party to join their planned defection. As determined as they are to amass more party members in pursuit of their goal the leader categorically stated that NPP has no influence in their action.
